The Ciarrán storm has left flights cancelled, roads closed by rain, and hundreds of trees fallen. More than 550 incidents in Galicia alone, to which we must add the Spanish ones,

Due to this, numerous parks and cemeteries have been closed, and in Pereiro the anecdote of the day happened, although not for the person involved. Well, a woman was locked inside due to its premature closure due to said storm.

What could have occurred to her in the time that passed until she finally came out only she will know, but it certainly wasn't the same as being locked in a shopping center on a shopping day on the first of the month. Not even in an amusement park. The important thing is that he managed to get out... on his own feet.

Galicia will prohibit the sale of energy drinks to children and adolescents next year 2024.

It will be the first autonomous community in Spain to do so given the seriousness of the consequences of its habitual consumption.

The false promise of giving wings heard for now in young people who seek to perform better in their studies or athletes who have a beverage vending machine next to the door of their gym promising to lengthen their workouts are nothing more than drinks with excess caffeine and sugar.

The risks due to the high sugar content (11 to 12 tablespoons per 500 ml.) trigger obesity as well as diabetes, in addition to the cardiological risks due to its habitual intake.

Other countries such as Germany and Denmark have regulated the amount of caffeine in these drinks to 32g/100ml.

Poland Lithuania and Latvia also banned the sale of energy drinks to those under 18 years of age.
