| Is homemade baby food healthier for infants? | Babies who get homemade food may learn to like a wider variety of food types and be leaner than infants who eat store-bought products, a recent study suggests. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life and then advises mothers to keep nursing while starting to introduce solid foods. For the current study, researchers examined whether the source of food (homemade or commercial) influences variety, infant growth, and weight. They found babies who only ate homemade foods had more diverse diets earlier in life and lower body fat mass when they were 1 year and 3 years old. | Website |

| Lenguaje centrado en la persona | Todos merecen dignidad y respeto. Sin embargo, históricamente, nuestras palabras han contribuido a actitudes negativas y tergiversaciones respecto al valor de las personas con discapacidades en nuestra sociedad.

Como su nombre lo indica, el lenguaje centrado en la persona pone al individuo primero y la discapacidad en segundo lugar. Es una forma objetiva de referirse a las personas con discapacidades. Al centrarse en la persona y no en la discapacidad, pretende acabar con generalizaciones, suposiciones y estereotipos nocivos. | Document |
