Pablo Neruda defined this city as a puerto loco, a crazy port, and in fact it is a fitting definition for Valparaiso, the Chilean town that overlooks the Pacific Ocean like an amphitheater. Valparaiso is colorful, the houses cling to the numerous hills, showing off colorful hues where red takes yellow by the hand and does somersaults on intense turquoise and sea blue. It is fascinating to walk through the narrow streets, climb stairs and elevators that open up exceptional views in front of us. It is very hot here in Valparaiso and in every corner of this beautiful city we see people sipping a strange, dark orange drink and it seems to contain ... wheat? Is it possible? Intrigued we ask for information, it is the motè with huesillos, a very popular drink here, and yes, what we see is just wheat while the juice is prepared with peaches, sugar, cinnamon and lemon. We decided to get the recipe to prepare it every time we miss this cheerful city. Here it is! 200 grams of dried peaches, 5 cups of water, 20 grams of brown cane sugar, 1 stick of cinnamon, organic lemon peel, 1 cup of wheat or barley to be cooked. Pour the peaches into the water and leave to rest overnight. In a saucepan, pour the sugar and cook over medium heat, stirring often for a few minutes, pour a ladle of peach soaking water, continue to cook until the sugar has dissolved. Add the rest of the water, peaches, lemon peel and cinnamon. Let it simmer for 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and let it cool down. Take a large glass, pour 3 tablespoons of cooked wheat or barley, add 2-3 pieces of peach and complete with the juice. Serve with a spoon!

In today's video we will practice a yoga sequence based on the seated forward bend poses. These asanas are very beneficial since they allow you to stretch the muscles, prevent sciatica but also help improve digestion by stimulating the work of the liver with a massage on the internal organs. You are sitting on the mat. Your legs are stretched out in front of you. Raise your arms and, keeping your upper body straight, bend forward trying to reach your ankles or feet with your hands. Raise your torso and repeat trying every time to keep the position a little longer. Then hook the big toes with your index and middle fingers and bend forward. You are sitting on the mat. Bend your right leg so that the knee falls outward and the foot is close to the pelvis. Lean forward trying to reach the left foot, the back remains straight. Repeat on the other side. Place your left foot on your right thigh. If the knee remains on the ground and does not rise, continue, bending forward and trying to reach the right foot with your hands. Otherwise do not continue and repeat the sequence seen up to here. Then do the exercise with the other leg. Let's see the yoga position of the turtle. Bend your knees and spread your legs. Put your arms under your knees. Slide your heels on the floor and rest your forehead on the mat.
