Travel Germany Eating Delicious Messy German Food

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS

TRAVEL TO GERMANY

It is time for me to get ready to travel to Berlin, Germany this year, to attend to one of my annual Global Medical Events, medical conferences and symposiums I faithfully go every year, to continue to learn, to explore science and grow as a physician for the benefit of my patients.

Laboratory Medicine and Pathology

Once the conference ends it is time for fun: going to the opera is a must, travel Germany, bicycling, eating the food. Just enchanting!

BERLIN STATE OPERA HOUSE – GERMANY

Germany is a beautiful seductive country, and one place I have to go whenever I visit is Bavaria. I am IN LOVE with Bavaria. I have family living there who are wonderful hosts to all of us who go.

AUTHENTIC PICHELSTEINER BAVARIAN STEW

The distance between Berlin and Bavaria is more or less 500 km, that will be about 5 to 6 hours driving an automobile. Leipzig is a place to stop to enjoy some food.  In Bavaria for example pork is very dominant but further in North Germany (Hamburg, Kiel) you should not miss out on the awesome fish dishes they have.

BAVARIAN SCHWEINSHAXE … MY FAVORITE!

I savor weissewurst, schweinhaxen, spaetzle, saurkraut, The weisswurst breakfast is just wonderful, pretzels and all.  For desserts, I relish the germknodel, where poppy seeds have their heyday.  Everything is out of this world!

Flowers are one of the joys of spring time. Flowers not only beautify our garden, we can use them as garnishes and ingredients in all kinds of recipes. From cocktails, cheese plates and salads to main courses and desserts, you can do a lot more with flowers than just admire them in your yard or your favorite vase.

Longevity: Want to Live Forever?

Dr. Martha Andrea Castro Noriega, MD WMA FACS

I am very active in my LINKEDIN account. I just published my latest medical article there and want to share it here:

Cyclist Frenchman Robert Marchand set a new world record when he cycled 22.547 kilometers (about 14 miles) in an hour — at the age of 105. «I am not here to be champion. I am here to prove that at 105 years old you can still ride a bike,» Marchand said.

Longevity is associated to genetic factors, but a healthy attitude and lifestyle contribute greatly to your lifespan.

«The most difficult problem is to get enough old people, especially those aged 100 or more, to take part in such a study. Interestingly, the genetic effects are much more evident in 100-year-olds than in 95-year-olds», notes the first author of the report, Dr. Friederike Flachsbart of the Institute of Clinical Molecular Biology at Kiel University.
A research group in the Faculty of Medicine at the Christian-Albrechts-University in Kiel (CAU) has now confirmed this assumption by comparing DNA samples taken from 388 German centenarians with those from 731 younger people.

Previously, in September 2008, an American research team led by Bradley J. Willcox had published in PNAS a study that indicated a higher frequency of this genetic variation in long-lived Americans of Japanese origin (ages 95 and above). Professor Almut Nebel, the scientific leader of the «Research Group for Healthy Ageing» at Kiel, comments:

«That published result is only of scientific value if it can be confirmed in a study with an independently chosen sample population. Without that there must still remain a tinge of doubt. We have now eliminated that uncertainty about the connection between FOXO3A and longevity, both by our results from the German sample study and by the support from our French partners in Paris, whose research on French centenarians showed the same trend. This discovery is of particular importance as there are genetic differences between Japanese and European people. We can now conclude that this gene is probably important as a factor in longevity throughout the world.»

MY LOVING DAUGHTER RECEIVING THE SUNSET

PRACTICING YOGA WHEN THE SUN SETS

Colors of the sunset vary from orange, orangy-black, blue, pink, redish, violet, gray, all in different shades depending on many natural elements and scientific factors that come together to create a beauty of nature: the sunset!

Sunsets and sunrises have always captivated my eyes. The combination of colors can give me a sense of life so profound I repeat to myself each time: life is worth living then I give thanks to the universe for the opportunity to be able to appreciate the beauty of nature  everyday.

I talked about abuse and made you uncomfortable? Good.

«People mistake vulnerability for intimacy. It’s not just annoying, it’s damaging.» — these words from my friend and Anti-Nihilist Institute co-founder Anna Lind-Guzik have been knocking around in my head lately for a reason.

Vulnerability is a useful tool of connecting to one’s audience. This isn’t just true of confessional writing. When I began to open up about leaving Russia/an abusive relationship, I did so with an explicit goal in mind: Draw attention to the problem, and show people how abuse *really* works.

It was also obviously important for me to emotionally connect with my audience and friends in general. Pain becomes more manageable when you feel less alone. All of this is normal — mundane, even.

I wasn’t surprised by the amount of odd, insensitive, prying and condescending messages I received. A lot of them came from men who have trouble processing vulnerability — in all of its forms…
