Insects are a popular snack in several countries and according to the United Nations, Mexico has the world’s highest number of edible insects and most of them are caught wild such as the Chicatana Ant.
Chicatana is a giant flying ant that emerges once a year during the first major rain of the season when they are trying to escape their flooded nests to search for food. In Oaxaca, Mexico, people of all ages collect them during this period to elaborate different dishes, specially “salsa de chicatana”, which is a smoky sauce ground in a “molcajete” with garlic, salt and chilies.
Chicatana ants are an important ingredient in the millenary gastronomy of the Oaxaca, Guerrero and Chiapas regions, they are used as a main ingredient in sauces, cooked in a skillet and consumed as a snack or mixed with salts and spices to accompany Mezcal. The local indigenous communities in Oaxaca, Chiapas and Guerrero, have been collecting and consuming these insects since pre-Hispanic times, nowadays they are considered a delicacy item since their price is relatively high, they are hard to catch, very aggressive and found only once a year, but these insects are also nutritious, very tasty and a great source of sustainable protein.

According to a systematic review and meta-analysis of nine randomized controlled trials, subjects using L-carnitine supplementation lost “significantly more weight” than the control group. It’s worth noting that while there are many L-carnitine supplements around, the absorption rate is poor in comparison to beef. In fact, our body only absorbs around 14-18% of the synthetic form of the nutrient.

CBD oil may treat pain, lower anxiety, and stimulate appetite the same way that marijuana does, but without affecting your mental state. CBD might also help treat some types of seizures.

Generally speaking, antifungal drugs can work in two ways: by directly killing fungal cells or by preventing fungal cells from growing and thriving. But how do they do this? Antifungal drugs target structures or functions that are necessary in fungal cells but not in human cells, so they can fight a fungal infection without damaging your body’s cells. Two structures that are commonly targeted are the fungal cell membrane and the fungal cell wall. Both of these structures surround and protect the fungal cell. When either one becomes compromised, the fungal cell can burst open and die.
