According to a study in the journal The New England Journal of Medicine, adults who drink coffee, with or without caffeine are less eligible to die than those who consume don’t coffee. This was the conclusion after studying the habits of a group of 400,000 U.S.
 
The National Cancer Institute conducted an investigation with the participation of men and women between the ages of 50 and 71 years resolved a review of their habits. They studied the medical record and deaths registered in this case until December 31 last year. They concluded that people who drink coffee are less prone to die of dying from respiratory or heart failure, diabetes, stroke and infections except in the case of cancer.
 
Although researchers still do not have much information on the reasons why coffee makes us live longer, there might be indirect effects associated with other habits.
 
Neal Freedman, co-author of the survey said: The most studied component that have always been is the caffeine, but our results do not vary between those who drink decaffeinated coffee and caffeine consumers. The mechanism by which coffee protects against the risk of mortality is unclear, and that coffee contains over 1,000 compounds that could potentially affect health.
 
The result may also vary in the way of preparation, including espresso, filtered, boiled and other options that appear in future research. They will need to deepen in future research about the subject.

George Orwell - 1984

 

1984 es una de las obras más importantes de la ciencia-ficción, y clave dentro del subgénero de la ficción distópica. Su titulo es debido al año en el que está ambientada. Y aunque pueda parecer extraño, es una novela futurista ya que fue escrita a finales de los 40.
 
Ambientada en la Inglaterra de este hipotético 1984, en una sociedad absolutista-comunista, dirigida por el todopoderoso Gran Hermano. El lider del Partido, que todo lo ve. Literalmente. De hecho, el nombre del famosos reality show está cogido de esta novela. En las calles, e incluso en las casas de cada persona hay “telepantallas” que controlan cada movimiento. Y el mínimo indicio de actividad extraña supondría una visita de la Policia del Pensamiento… Incluso las noticias del pasado se modifican para que encajen con  la realidad del presente.
 
En este contexto vive Winston Smith, una persona que tiene vagos recuerdos de tiempos mejores, y que siente que algo no encaja. Algo no funciona como debería en esa sociedad, en la que todos adoran ciegamente al Partido. 
 
Orwell crea en este libro un ambiente extraordinariamente opresivo, al que se le añade un realismo que te hace pensar que esta sociedad podría existir realmente. Quizás por esto mucha gente se niega a encuadrar el libro en el genero de la ciencia-ficción. En cualquier caso, una lectura obligada, tanto por lo entretenido de la novela, como por las profundas reflexiones que pueden realizarse una vez concluída.
