Train hard and short: a New Year’s wish

Amb l’entrada d’any, tots ens proposem assolir algunes fites personals. I, possiblement, el propòsit que suma més adeptes és el de fer exercici. Ara, un estudi de la Universitat de Boston demostra que l’entrenament intens i breu pot millorar la forma física molt més que els exercicis suaus, com caminar 10.000 passes al dia. T’ho expliquem!

Ens passem el dia davant de la pantalla, a l’oficina o teletreballant, i sovint és un miracle si aconseguim arrencar-li al dia una mitja horeta per fer esport. Aquests 30 minuts, però, poden ser la clau per compensar les vuit hores de treball. Els investigadors de la facultat de Medicina de la Universitat de Boston, liderats pel doctor Matthew Nayor, han analitzat l’esforç de més de 2.000 persones i han conclòs que l’exercici és saludable sempre, és clar, però si s’entrena fort i breu s’obté un resultat millor.

“Hem constatat que, en la millora del cos, l’activitat intensa, però amb menys temps d’esforç, és més eficient que caminar”. El doctor Nayor, que també exerceix com a cardiòleg al Centre Mèdic de Boston, el principal hospital universitari de la ciutat, assegura en un article al World Economic Forum, que “l’efecte negatiu que té el sedentarisme en la forma física pot compensar-se amb nivells molt alts d’activitat”.

A partir de l’estudi, publicat al ‘European Heart Journal’, els investigadors també van descobrir que, curiosament, els valors alts d’activitat i els valors baixos, ambdós realitzats amb vuit anys de diferència, tenen nivells equivalents en l’aptitud física. “Això fa pensar que pot haver-hi un efecte memòria”, afirma Nayor. Sense dissuadir les persones de complir amb les 10.000 passes diàries, els científics demostren que l’esforç intens és tres vegades més eficient que només caminar.

La fita: 75 minuts setmanals d’exercici intens

Així, en una taula d’exercicis, els investigadors consideren que un exercici de nivell baix com caminar és fer entre 60 i 99 passes per minut, un nivell moderat és fer entre 100 i 129 passos per minut i un nivell intens és fer més de 130 passes per minut.

Amb aquesta classificació, els investigadors recomanen o bé dedicar entre 150 i 300 minuts setmanals a fer un exercici moderat o bé invertir entre 75 i 150 minuts a la setmana a fer exercici intens, és a dir, exercitar-nos entre 25 i 50 minuts tres dies a la setmana. Amb qualsevol de les dues rutines, obtindrem els mateixos resultats físics. Així que, endavant amb els propòsits d’any nou!

We love Christmas… until it runs us over. Meals that never end, impossible schedules, obligatory shopping and an unforgiving ambient pressure. Every year we promise to live it “calmly”, but we end up trapped in the same cycle. The question is simple: how can we enjoy the holidays without ending up exhausted, broke or emotionally overwhelmed?

Christmas arrives each year wrapped in a postcard of perfection with flawless tables, idyllic families and a happiness that seems mandatory. But reality goes elsewhere. The holidays concentrate family, social and economic pressures in just a few days, and everyone tries to keep up while the pace accelerates. We move from one meal to another, from one visit to a gathering, often without time even to breathe. Saying no is not perceived as acceptable, and this leads us to chain obligations that leave us exhausted.

These demands clash with the permanent mirage of social media, where everything appears bright, perfect, and pleasant. But if your family is complicated, if there are tensions, or you carry emotional fatigue, that shop window can make you feel that your Christmas experience is “not good enough”. Expectations multiply and reality, frequently imperfect, weighs heavily. When days pass between rushing, impossible schedules and conversations we would rather avoid, emotional strain becomes inevitable.

Saturation usually arrives quietly. It shows up as insomnia, irritability, digestive problems or the feeling of operating on autopilot. These are clear warnings that must not be ignored, because the body is asking for a pause. And here we must remember the essential idea that Christmas is not something to survive, but something to live. Setting boundaries, adjusting expectations and accepting that there is no such thing as a perfect Christmas is what truly allows us to enjoy the holidays in a healthier, more human way.

Mindful eating tips

Eating well during the holidays doesn’t mean giving anything up, but knowing how to balance. The issue is not Christmas lunch itself, but turning every gathering, every “sobremesa” and every appetizer into a full banquet. This is why serving yourself small portions and repeating only if you are genuinely hungry is a simple strategy that saves hundreds of calories without sacrificing pleasure. Eating consciously rather than out of obligation is the first key to a lighter Christmas.

Another fundamental pillar is taking care of what we often forget: hydration and rest. Alcohol dehydrates, disrupts sleep and intensifies accumulated fatigue, so alternating each drink with a glass of water makes a real difference the next day. Sleeping seven to eight hours is a reliable protector that regulates digestion, improves mood and prevents excesses from turning into prolonged discomfort. When the body rests, the mind rests too. 

Finally, small daily habits can transform the way we live the holidays. A walk after a heavy meal speeds up digestion and activates the body; avoiding hidden sugars in prepared sauces, soft drinks and industrial pastries reduces excess calories without us noticing; and balancing a very heavy day with vegetables, soups, or fruit helps recover your natural rhythm. The body also celebrates Christmas, but it doesn’t need a permanent gastronomic festival to do so.

Emotional wellbeing to survive the holidays

Christmas is, paradoxically, a moment when mental health often takes a back seat. Everyone wants the holidays to go well, for harmony to prevail, for tensions not to appear and for excitement not to break. But this pressure can override what we truly feel. Uncomfortable emotions—sadness, fatigue, stress—are swept under the rug because “they don’t fit”, and this only intensifies discomfort.

This is why it is essential to reclaim the right to say “no”. There is no need for long explanations or elaborate justifications, since a simple “I need to rest” or “this year I prefer a quieter Christmas” should be enough. Setting boundaries is a form of self-care and at the same time a way to prevent conflict in complicated family gatherings. Adjusting schedules, choosing neutral spaces or agreeing on forbidden topics—such as politics or personal issues—can turn a tense meal into a bearable encounter.

There are also those who experience Christmas with loneliness, a feeling that postcards, advertising and social networks tend to amplify. Dismantling the idea of the “perfect Christmas” is deeply liberating, because you don’t need to be radiant or have a calendar full of events. Simple activities like volunteering, going to the cinema, spending time reading or meeting someone who shares the same calm can turn the holidays into a gentle space. Christmas is not a competition of joy; it is an opportunity to support ourselves, take care of ourselves and give ourselves permission to be human.

Responsible consumption: the key to a healthier Christmas (also mentally)

Christmas consumption not only affects your wallet, but also shapes your self-esteem and how you interpret the holidays. The pressure to get gifts right, to buy more than necessary or to live up to an advertising ideal can turn an affectionate gesture into a source of tension. Reducing the number of gifts or agreeing to clear limits is a way to free up time, money and, above all, the feeling of never keeping up.

By breaking the cycle of impulsive consumption, Christmas becomes more breathable. Buying “because you have to”, “because the other expects it” or “to avoid looking bad” generates anxiety and guilt, and often leaves us with a feeling of emptiness once the holidays are over. Deciding in advance what we want to give and what budget we have is a powerful tool for avoiding rushed purchases. This way, the gift recovers its original meaning: a gesture, not an obligation. Consumption returns to serving people, not the other way around.

The alternatives are many and often more meaningful. A shared meal, a hike, or an activity creates more lasting memories than an object. Offering time—caring for children, helping with a move, preparing a meal—is an emotionally powerful gift. And handmade or personalized details carry meaning without the need to overspend. Moderate consumption is also more conscious consumption, and this awareness is the foundation of a healthier, simpler and much kinder Christmas. 

For this reason, enjoying Christmas does not depend on what you buy, but on what you experience. Rest, boundaries, balanced eating and responsible consumption are not concessions but ways to protect physical, emotional and financial health during one of the most intense times of the year. When you take care of your rhythm, Christmas stops pushing you and starts accompanying you. That’s when you can truly celebrate it.

Precarity is not an accident of the system — it is its new structure. It connects us all through uncertainty, dependence, and debt. And only by understanding this can we break the circle and regain sovereignty over our lives.

Polish sociologist Zygmunt Bauman captured the essence of our time like few others. What he called liquid modernity is now a tangible reality: everything that was once solid —work, relationships, economic security— has become fragile and fleeting. The worker who could plan a life, take out a mortgage, or raise children with some peace of mind has been replaced by an individual juggling temporary jobs, subsidies, and debts. This instability is not only economic: it is emotional, psychological, and civic. A citizen who lives in fear is easier to govern, but also far less free.

Insecurity as a Tool of Control

Crises —financial, health, energy, climate— have become constant. Uncertainty is no longer an exception but a structural condition. Each new wave of difficulties justifies another “temporary” package of measures that, over time, become permanent. Meanwhile, the population grows accustomed to living on the edge: wages that fail to cover the cost of living, inflation that erodes savings, rents that consume salaries, and ever-rising taxes that suffocate the middle classes.

This widespread precarity breeds dependence. Governments manage it through subsidies and one-off aids, while banks and major corporations offer easy credit to sustain consumption. It’s a vicious circle that turns social rights into favours and the worker into a perpetual debtor. The fear of losing one’s income or home becomes a powerful instrument of submission.

The result is a society obsessed with the next economic rebound or inflation index, confusing mere survival with progress. As Bauman warned, “freedom without security is a sentence, but security without freedom is an invisible prison.”

From Stable Work to Fragile Work

In just a few years, the concept of employment has changed radically. Flexibility —a seemingly positive word— has become synonymous with temporariness, outsourcing, and insecurity. Short-term contracts and part-time jobs have become the norm to the point that they no longer surprise anyone. Meanwhile, a permanent contract or a 40-hour week seems almost a privilege.

According to Spain’s INE, over 25% of young workers hold temporary contracts. In Catalonia, the real average salary has lost more than 7% of its purchasing power in the past five years, while housing costs have risen by 30%.  The gap between wages and prices is now structural: having a job no longer guarantees a dignified life.

This fragmented labour model creates a permanently available and easily replaceable population. The worker cannot plan for the future or accumulate assets. When work ceases to provide stability and becomes a daily struggle for survival, the social contract breaks down.

Labour precarity is also civic precarity. A citizen without a horizon does not participate, protest, or demand — they simply survive. And that is perhaps the system’s new victory: transforming the worker into an obedient and exhausted consumer.

The Loss of Freedom and the Need for Economic Sovereignty

Economic insecurity silently erodes freedom. When everything depends on the month’s salary or a granted loan, personal autonomy fades away.  We live in societies that appear free, yet are subjected to subtle forms of control: debt, technological dependence, and constant misinformation. 

The challenge is to rebuild sovereignty. At the collective level, this means regaining control over basic resources —energy, housing, finance— and promoting resilient local economies.  At the individual level, it means relearning self-management habits: saving, investing wisely, avoiding unnecessary debt, and embracing financial education as a tool for liberation.

Economic education is the key to transforming fear into power. When we understand how the system works, we no longer submit blindly to it. At 11Onze, we’ve long defended this idea: saving is sovereignty, information is freedom, and community is strength.

The path toward a less precarious society does not depend on waiting for external solutions but on building security from below —through cooperation and awareness. Perhaps Bauman was right: precarity is the new social bond. But there’s still time to turn that bond into a network of solidarity, not submission.

La tornada a la rutina després d’unes vacances sempre ha estat una mica feixuga. Però en els darrers anys, el fenomen conegut com a “síndrome postvacacional” s’ha convertit en una realitat força comuna per a moltes persones. 

Malgrat que no es tracta d’una malaltia reconeguda, ni tampoc d’un trastorn clínic com la depressió, els seus efectes poden ser prou intensos per alterar el benestar emocional i la capacitat de concentració durant els primers dies —o setmanes— de retorn a la feina.

Aquest malestar s’expressa de formes molt diverses: 

• Algunes persones senten una sensació difusa de desgana. 
• Altres noten cansament físic sense causa aparent, dificultat per dormir, poca motivació o una irritabilitat persistent. 
• Hi ha qui se sorprèn de no reconèixer-se, de no tenir ganes de reprendre la feina ni les activitats habituals, ni tan sols les que normalment li agraden. 

En el fons, el cos i la ment estan fent un esforç d’adaptació a un canvi brusc de ritme. I aquest procés, lluny de ser immediat, pot trigar dies a resoldre’s.

Per què ens passa?

Les vacances suposen una alteració substancial de les nostres rutines. El rellotge s’atura, els horaris s’alliberen, la ment es desconnecta del soroll constant del dia a dia i recuperem una mica de control sobre el nostre temps. Aquesta sensació de llibertat, de respir, és precisament el que s’esvaeix quan arriba l’hora de tornar. I no tothom ho encara igual.

La situació actual tampoc hi ajuda. Vivim en un context marcat per la incertesa econòmica, la precarietat laboral i una exigència constant que sovint ens manté en estat d’alerta. Si a tot això hi sumem una tornada abrupta al món laboral —de vegades amb agendes plenes des del primer dia—, no és estrany que el cos i la ment protestin.

Prevenir el xoc de tornada

Aquest malestar, però, no és inevitable. De fet, es pot prevenir o, com a mínim, alleugerir si es fa una tornada intel·ligent i progressiva. El primer consell que molts especialistes comparteixen és evitar tornar de vacances el dia abans de reincorporar-se a la feina. Reservar-se dos o tres dies de transició ajuda a posar ordre, descansar, preparar la logística familiar i planificar amb calma la setmana. És un marge que ens permet reconnectar a poc a poc amb la realitat quotidiana.

També és útil reprendre les rutines de descans uns dies abans. Recuperar uns horaris de son més regulars —anar a dormir i llevar-se a la mateixa hora cada dia— permet que el cos es vagi reajustant. Sovint oblidem que el nostre sistema nerviós necessita pautes estables per funcionar bé, i un dels factors clau és el descans reparador.

Trobar espais de benestar dins la rutina

Un altre element fonamental per fer més suportable la tornada és mantenir alguna activitat gratificant fora de la feina. Les vacances no haurien de ser l’únic espai de plaer de l’any. Fer esport, caminar, ballar, cuinar, veure amics… qualsevol d’aquestes activitats pot ajudar a contrarestar l’estrès i estimular la producció d’endorfines, les hormones naturals del benestar. En definitiva, es tracta de no passar d’un extrem a l’altre, sinó de conservar espais de qualitat dins de la rutina.

També pot ser molt útil fixar-se petits objectius motivadors a curt termini. No cal que siguin grans fites: una excursió el cap de setmana, un concert, començar un nou curs, reprendre una afició oblidada… Qualsevol estímul positiu ens pot ajudar a veure que la vida quotidiana no és només feina i responsabilitats. I, de retruc, ens ajuda a reconstruir una certa il·lusió de cara al futur immediat.

I si el malestar no desapareix?

Ara bé, cal estar alerta si els símptomes persisteixen més enllà de les dues o tres primeres setmanes. En aquest cas, potser no estem davant d’una simple síndrome postvacacional, sinó d’una insatisfacció més profunda amb la feina, d’un desgast emocional acumulat o, fins i tot, d’un trastorn de salut mental que requereix atenció. No podem normalitzar un malestar crònic ni resignar-nos a viure amb l’ànim per terra. Si cal, convé consultar amb un professional que pugui orientar-nos.

En el fons, la síndrome postvacacional ens fa una pregunta incòmoda: vivim al ritme adequat? Si la resposta és que no, potser és hora de revisar les nostres prioritats i d’explorar formes de viure més sostenibles, més humanes. Potser la tornada a la feina no hauria de ser un xoc, sinó una oportunitat per fer les coses una mica millor.

Bio-construction or sustainable architecture are hashtags that go along with conventional architecture to revolutionise it, from the foundations up, with a key premise: human beings must live inside houses. An idea as obvious as it is challenging. We spoke to the architect and expert in bio-construction, Sonia Hernández-Montaño.

Have you ever wondered what materials your home has been built with, what lighting prevails, or how the distribution of spaces is affecting your mood? Arquitectura sana is the name of the project, and also the philosophy, that Sonia’s team took to Catalonia in 2009 with the aim of making our homes more habitable from a human and well-being point of view.

Most of our time is spent in enclosed spaces, but we are generally unaware of the extent to which these spaces can have a direct impact on our physical and mental health. In a new episode of People, Hernández-Montaño highlights all the elements and practices we need to take into account to improve our lives.

The unseen well-being

Construction is constantly evolving, and in recent decades has incorporated technological elements and new materials. Hernández-Montaño points out, however, that “along the way we have forgotten that there are people inside buildings, that buildings not only have to consume less energy and minimise the resources used, but that we also have to sustain life inside”. He argues that we are all architects, and we can all use this health tool to support people’s well-being.

Among the most important aspects, we find some key actions to maintain the quality of life inside the spaces, starting with ventilation, a key point if it is carried out in the right way and that can even reduce pollution that may come from outside. The second key point is lighting, the “conductor of our biological clock” which has to change according to the time of day to follow our circadian rhythm.

It is also essential to take into account and reduce the presence of pollutants in the interior spaces, an objective that is reflected in the choice of materials, whether in construction, furniture, or cleaning products. Listen to the entire conversation to discover the rest of the tips that will make your home a healthy space.

MyRealFood app was launched two years ago and has already had more than two million users. It scans everything we eat to find out if it is healthy, and recommends simple recipes to help us cook more conscientiously. With a single application, consumer rights are defended and, at the same time, new eating habits are promoted. Sofia Belenguer, co-founder of the project, explains it to us in a new episode of People.

Beyond scanning all the products found in supermarkets and supermarkets, Belenguer explains that MyRealFood brings together more than 130,000 recipes, many of them created by the users themselves, who make up an active community where they exchange favourite foods, recommend products and can even sign up for nutritional plans by subscription. “The app works for the community and so that you can lead a healthier life,” the CEO summarises.

The project was born out of the food concerns of a group of young people from different fields: Sofia Belenguer herself, the nutritionist Carlos Ríos, the current CTO David Vicente and Toni Mancha. Belenguer, who is a lawyer by training, began to wonder why, as a consumer, she was unable to tell from the product label whether what she was buying was healthy enough. And she realised that the same thing was happening to her colleagues and friends.

“I realised that I lacked a lot of nutritional training and that I had to educate myself,” she recalls. And that is how the project expanded. Belenguer argues that, on the one hand, there is not enough nutritional education and, on the other, food advertising does not help either. The combination of one thing and the other creates a breeding ground that prevents us from knowing what we eat and how to improve our diet.

The nutritional table, but above all, the ingredients.

And what is important to analyse when we buy a product? “It is crucial to look at what ingredients the product contains, and in what quantities, information that can be found in the nutritional table,” Belenguer answers. This is where the app is of great help: “Using our own algorithm, which marks from 0 to 100, from least to most healthy, we can know whether a product is healthy or not,” the CEO summarises. 

Do you want to know how MyRealFood has become a reference app for consumers, but also for food companies? Do you want to learn how to have healthier habits? Listen to the whole conversation!

All citizens of our country have the right to access public healthcare, which, despite its shortcomings, is considered one of the most efficient in the world. Even so, the collapse of primary care has meant that the number of users of private health services is increasing year after year. Iu Alemany, Director of Back Office and Customer Service at 11Onze, proposes some concepts, so we can continue a recurring debate.

According to a study carried out in 2022 by the IDIS Foundation, the private healthcare sector accounts for 29.4% of total healthcare spending in Spain. This figure has risen to 33,398 million euros, representing 2.7% of GDP, which added to public-private collaboration totals 3.36% of GDP.

The increased purchasing power of the population and long waiting lists have highlighted the advantages of private healthcare. Even so, the collapse of public healthcare and the large number of people taking out low-priced private health insurance just to access diagnostic tests, or for specialities such as dermatology, gynaecology or pneumatology, is also putting pressure on the private sector. As Alemany explains, “with private healthcare you have direct access to the specialist, but appointments are not so immediate, and there are more and more waiting lists”.

Private healthcare as a complement to public healthcare

Although budget cuts and lack of investment have highlighted the limitations of public healthcare, the pandemic has accentuated its importance. As Alemany points out, “what would have happened if it had been managed solely and exclusively by private healthcare? It scares me to think about it”.

The quality of healthcare and the greater investment in medical equipment in the public sector means that it has better resources and specialists to treat the most serious illnesses. This means that, in the event of complications, even private insurance companies refer their patients to the public sector.

On the other hand, the business model of private healthcare is based on profit and economic profitability, leaving aside the principles of solidarity in public healthcare. However, in the current context, it is clear that collaboration between the two models is necessary to guarantee the viability of the healthcare system, at least until public healthcare has the funding it deserves.

Emporarom, Aromes de l’Empordà, is a business that produces aromatic and medicinal plants, grown on different plots of land located in Empordà. In a new People podcast, Pere Coll, one of the founding partners, tells us about the project and the different products they make from these plants.

From the union of the words Empordà and Aromáticas comes the name Emporarom, producers of aromatic, culinary and medicinal plants from Empordà who have joined forces to develop and market various products, recovering the popular knowledge of the plants in their natural environment.

Aromes de l’Empordà cultivates many of the plants found in the wild or in the garden at home: rosemary, thyme, basil, oregano, mint, and fennel… All of them are grown organically on small plots of land by the sea, where the entire production process is done traditionally, respecting natural resources and preserving the environment.

A sensory experience

The infusions spearhead the work they do to be able to offer new products that surprise the consumer. Five varieties with their own character based on Greek mythology, “we have dedicated them to Greek gods and goddesses, with blends of plants that fit their characteristics”, Coll points out.

Likewise, an extensive range of culinary condiments is complemented by sensory visits where flavoured drinks are made and culinary workshops are held with local plants and flowers. As Coll explains, “we do workshops where people can identify, smell and touch plants, while having a vermouth, gin and tonic or a ratafia”.

Twinapp is a social network that facilitates interactions between people interested in practising sport through hiking routes across our territory, without neglecting the commitment to environmental conservation. We talked about the project with Teresa Ferrés, a founding partner.

Making society aware of environmental problems and getting people involved in conserving the natural environment can be challenging. Teresa Ferrés founded the Twinapp project with this in mind. Why not combine sport with environmental awareness?

The application allows you to contact people keen on nature walks, organising and promoting outings around our territory. It is a tool that generates community through groups of people interested in running or walking in the mountains. As Ferrés explains, “sometimes it’s hard to find someone to go out with to do sport and this way you are in a community that everyone can join”.

Encouraging ‘plogging’

‘Plogging’, a fusion of the terms ‘plocka upp’, Swedish for picking up, and jogging, originated in Sweden. It is a sporting practice that combines the activity of jogging with the collection of rubbish that we find along the way. The application schedules regular outings related to this practice, including “promoting a campaign called ‘Mou-te pel mar’, which in 2019 organised four outings along the Costa Brava,” says Ferrés.

Bearing in mind that 70% of the waste that is dumped on the coast ends up at the bottom of the sea, the success of these outings, which combine sport with waste collection, is a perfect example of how the entrepreneurial and community spirit represented by Twinapp takes advantage of the possibilities for cooperation offered by social networks and new technologies.

The relationship between what we eat and our health is more than established, but do we know how our diet affects the planet? Marifé Fariñas, Customer Care Lead at 11Onze, talks to us about how we are often unaware of the extent to which our diet affects the natural environment.

The social consensus towards respect for the environment and the use we make of natural resources has encouraged local shopping and neighbourhood commerce. Raising awareness of the importance of our eating habits in many social spheres and in nature also has an indirect impact on our health.

As Fariñas explains, “Eating local produce will help to maintain crops and prevent them from disappearing. As consumers, we need to be aware of the importance of food sustainability, and of the small gestures we can make in our daily lives.

Excessive consumption of meat and animal products, hitherto a feature of the diet of Western countries, is set to double as a large part of the population of countries such as China and India enter the meat market. Economic development leads to the increased purchasing power of the population, which often translates into a diet richer in animal products.

“The exponential growth of the world’s population, and changes in our dietary patterns, are increasing the greenhouse effect and the deforestation of Earth. He adds, “Increased CO₂ in the air affects the quality of crops. Mineral and protein concentrations are lower, and food is more vulnerable to extreme weather conditions.”

The current model is not sustainable, and the impact of individual decisions to change our eating habits goes far beyond our health. To find out more, watch the video below.
