La Dieta Alcalina

Posted by on Mar 31, 2012 in Latinos | 0 comments

La Dieta Alcalina es una dieta que intenta corregir errores del pasado.

Me explico:

Todos tenemos un sistema de equilibrio interno llamado “Equilibrio del pH”. El pH sanguíneo debe permanecer muy cercano a 7,35 de lo contrario moriríamos.

Dieta Alcalina S La Dieta Alcalina

Las costumbres dietéticas equivocadas, el estrés, las emociones negativas, tóxicos ambientales, trabajo físico intenso, ingesta de medicinas convencionales y muchos otros factores crean residuos ácidos en nuestro sistema. Si el cuerpo no ha sido capaz de eliminarlos con rapidez y volver al equilibrio, comienza a extremar recursos para contrarrestar los ácidos.

Por ejemplo, toma minerales de los huesos como el calcio (alcalinos) para poder volver al equilibrio. Si ésto pasa día tras día por mucho tiempo llega un momento que los huesos se debilitará y provocará Osteoporosis.

Cuando hay acidosis en nuestro terreno interior todos los órganos y funciones pierden eficacia y a largo plazo aparecerán las enfermedades.

El paso más sencillo para revertir esta situación es seguir una Dieta Alcalina. Los alimentos alcalinos son el camino corto a la recuperación de muchas de las enfermedades que padecemos.

En mi caso, gracias a ésta dieta me he recuperado de Fibromialgia. La he padecido varios años hasta que cambié mis hábitos dietéticos.

Spanish is a much easier and consistent language related to its use of verbs than English.

Hispanic Community Online

There’s a new U.S. Hispanic community online called estamos UNIDOS that is attracting Hispanics to explore what it means to be Hispanic in the Estados Unidos today. After a quick online sign-up (you can also sign up through Facebook, Google, Twitter and Yahoo) you can join the community and start a discussion or share an opinion. You can participate en Ingles o en Espanol. When you join estamos UNIDOS, you can also read discussions and “Like” posts even if you don’t want to express yourself. This new Hispanic community online can especially help Latinos address serious issues and promote dialogue and discussion between Latinos on important topics that impact the largest minority in America, the Hispanic community.

eu new logo v3 words only sm Hispanic Community Online

One of the biggest issues facing the Hispanic community is the lack of funding for art and music education programs in public schools across the country, especially in school systems in inner cities and in states like California, New Mexico and New York where school budgets are being cut and art and music programs are especially hit hard by budget number crunching. Of course, these states have a high population of Hispanics and a high percentage of Hispanic children attending these schools. Without formal education in art and music, this impacts the next generation of musicians and artists and especially Latino musicians and artists. While there are some private foundations that foster art and music programs in the Hispanic community, schools should be more resourceful about finding avenues to keep art and music programs alive. So, join today and be a part of estamos UNIDOS and also check out the estamos UNIDOS Facebook page.

Tejano Music Stars

Posted by on Oct 12, 2011 in Latino Music, Mexican American Artists | 0 comments

Two of the most influential Tejano (Mexican-Texan or Tex-Mex) music artists are Emilio Navaira and the late, great Selena. Emilio was born in San Antonio, Texas and began singing and playing guitar on a cheap guitarro purchased at a pawn shop when he was a boy. By the time he reached the end of high school, he was gifted enough to receive a scholarship to attend a Texas university where he majored in music and after graduation, planned to become a music teacher. His intent was to pass on the love of music to youth. Emilio’s songs began charting in the 90′s, many years after he had been grinding it out on the road in Texas and northern Mexico to build the loyal Tejano fan base for his heartfelt songs. Emilio Navaira also found a way to give back to youth by forming his own charitable foundation “Tejanos for Children” and donating to other children’s charities including a children’s hospital and The Miracle Network.

Almost everyone knows the sad story of Selena’s life and her tragic death. Jennifer Lopez played Selena in Selena’s bio-pic in 1997. Selena Quintanilla was born in Lake Jackson, Texas to a family who suffered an unfortunate financial loss then became homeless, living out of a bus, and surviving on money Selena earned singing on the road in Texas. Selena’s beauty, voice and evocative songs earned her the title of “Queen of Tejano”. She was just on the verge of crossover success and was going to be releasing her first English language album when she was fatally shot by the head of her fan club. We have the music of Selena as solace, her music will live on forever.

Justin Bieber has fans all over the world, but is mega popular in Latin America. His fans are known collectively as Beliebers.

These aficionadas read every news or blog story about him, save Fotos de Bieber on their phones and computers, decorate their bedrooms with Justin Bieber posters, tweet about him 24/7 on Twitter, dream about Justin and chat about him endlessly. They also make their own Youtube videos performing personalized versions of his songs, or videos of themselves dancing to his music or confessing their love of Bieber. Justin Bieber is clearly their one and only idol.

While many music idols have existed since the 1950′s when popular music first launched singers as idols, there has never been an idol as popular worldwide and in Latin America as Justin Bieber. He sells millions of records, millions of music downloads, sells out every live show and causes riots whenever he goes to places in Latin America.

What created Bieber fever? Bieber fever was literally born on Youtube and while he was discovered and developed by his tour manager, Scooter Braun, he was first discovered and popularized by his fans. Justin Bieber was literally a small town boy in Canada who wrote and performed his own songs and put them up on Youtube. Whether he was truly hoping to be discovered and become a star, or whether he was just like any other young singer who wanted a virtual audience for his music, he has achieved a level of superstardom that no other musical artist ever has.

The internet and social media marketing offers you, as a performer, or your band, the ability to promote your music online to a potential audience of billions of people who love music and enjoy downloading songs. “Liking” bands and performers on Facebook, watching Youtube video clips, following bands and performers on Twitter, attending live concert performances or watching live events streaming online are what music fans indulge in. And in addition, a percentage of those people will be the music experts and “authorities” which you need to attract to help promote your music and make your band go viral.

The book “Your Band Is A Virus”, written by James Moore, offers up the best tips and tricks to help music artists promote themselves, including cultivating music “authorities”. YourBandIsAVirus.com explores how your band can literally go viral if you follow the marketing advice and expertise which the author shares with you. Learn the ins and outs of music marketing to be successful in today’s highly competitive indie music scene. Less and less artists are being signed to recording contracts by record labels.

Moombahton

Posted by on Feb 19, 2012 in Latino Music | 0 comments

If you love Electronic Dance Music (EDM) and you aren’t familiar with Moombahton, you should check it out. What is Moombahton? It is a genre within EDM similar to reggaeton which most EDM club aficionados are familiar with, especially its style and drum beats. For a Moombahton Wiki that details the origin of Moombahton, visit ElectronicDanceMusic.com, a comprehensive source on all genres of Electronic Dance Music.

edm logo 72 300x300 Moombahton

Moombahton is one of the newest styles of Electronic Dance Music, having been born on the turntables just a little over two years ago when DJ and Producer Dave Nada slowed down an Electro House track at a basement dance party from approximately 128 bpm to 108 bpm. That track just happened to be titled “Moombah” and thereafter, that particular genre of Electronic Dance Music became known as Moombahton. Dava Nada also produced the first Moombahton tracks, which featured his signature Moombahton style along with Latin vocals. These seminal tracks set the pattern for the Moombahton drumbeats integrating bass drum beats with other drum beat types such as snare drum or bongos. This drumbeat pattern also prevails in Reggaeton and Soca (Afro dance rhythm from Trinidad / Tobago). Even though Dave Nada literally invented Moombahton, the DJ hasn’t laid down tight rules over other Moombahton artists or What is Moombahton? …other than to state that to be considered Moombahton, a track has has to stay at 108bpm.

Some of the hottest Moombahton artists besides its originator Dave Nada are: Munchi, DJ Sabo who mixes in Latin flavor into his Moombahton tracks, Heartbreak and DJ Melo.

Latino Times

Latino Times is a unique news site for the modern Latino. How so? Latino Times depends on Latino news “spotters” who find stories utilizing social media around the globe and submit the news stories to Latino Times. The site is essentially for Latinos, by Latinos. If you want to be a news spotter, you can register to particpate in bringing important new stories to other Latinos via LatinoTimes.com. On LatinoTimes.com, there are noticias en Espanol y en Ingles, so that you can read the posted stories in their language of origin. Or you can utilize convenient translation icons to translate news stories into popular languages, including Spanish and English, but also Portuguese, French, German and Japanese.

Social media and social networking is really the way that people now interact on the internet, so that it makes sense to utilize noticias featuring tecnologia, deportes, historias, negocios, arte, cultura y espectáculos y videos populares sourced from social media by Latinos to create a news “network” website for Latinos with the latest titulares and news stories conveniently organized on the main page.

You can also find Latino Times on Facebook to join the Latino Times Facebook community and follow Latino Times on Twitter to keep on top of the latest noticias. And you can subscribe to Latino Times with one simple mouse click. A convenient search feature gives you the ability to search for pertinent news stories or persons in the news. Every day, Latino Times lists how many news spotters contributed stories.

Newspapers are becoming more and more outdated every day. Not only do they consume a tremendous amount of resources for distribution and are essentially not eco-friendly either, but also, people are just not using newspapers culturally as much as they are reading news on the internet on their computers or mobile devices. Newspapers are static printed sheets with no ability to search for specific stories at your fingertips. And also, newspapers cost money, not much, but if you want to read news every day, newspapers can be an expensive way to source your news. In addition, most newspapers are printed in either English or Spanish. Only the internet gives you the power to immediately translate news stories into another language, either your native language or a language you may be studying. In addition, since newspapers are only printed once a day, they can’t be updated with a crucial breaking news story, or have the fluidity to display different media, such as videos, photo slide shows, or display photos in high resolution.

Reality is that newspapers are no longer the go-to source for the noticias or deportes or historias. News online with social media integration is the way of the future and the future is here now for Latinos with LatinoTimes.com. You don’t have to write the stories, but when you find a story of interest to Latinos, if you are a registered news spotter, you can submit the story to LatinoTimes.com. This is a proactive way to participate in news gathering. Or if your sole preference is to read the news, then all the news gathering has been done for you without the bias of newspaper editors. LatinoTimes.com is truly for Latinos, by Latinos.
