La fruta seca que ayuda a preservar la masa muscular y ósea después de los 45 años, según especialistas
Las pasas de ciruela se consolidan como una aliada para quienes superan los 45 años y buscan preservar la masa muscular y ósea. Este alimento, rico en proteínas vegetales, antioxidantes y compuestos bioactivos, ofrece beneficios que impactan directamente en la fuerza, la movilidad y la calidad de vida.
La combinación de nutrientes y fibras solubles contribuye a un metabolismo más equilibrado mientras regula el apetito. Especialistas recomiendan consumir una porción diaria de 50 gramos para obtener resultados positivos y evitar excesos.
Los cambios hormonales y metabólicos aparecen con la edad, afectando la estructura corporal. Según investigaciones recientes difundas por O Globo, la reducción progresiva de la masa muscular y la densidad ósea puede limitar la fuerza física y la movilidad. El consumo de frutas secas como las pasas de ciruela responde a estas necesidades, ya que su perfil nutricional destaca en la prevención de estos procesos.
De acuerdo con estudios publicados en el Journal of Medicinal Food, la ingesta regular de pasa de ciruela se asocia con mayores niveles de IGF-1, una hormona clave producida principalmente por el hígado que participa en la generación y mantenimiento de los tejidos musculares y óseos.
Además, las investigaciones muestran una reducción de procesos inflamatorios y un aumento de la capacidad antioxidante en adultos mayores de 45 años.
Las pasas de ciruela aporta proteínas vegetales, antioxidantes y compuestos bioactivos, nutrientes que intervienen en la estructura corporal y la fuerza. Su contenido de fibras solubles contribuye a regular el apetito y a equilibrar el perfil metabólico.
Según datos citados por O Globo, estas fibras limitan la absorción rápida de glucosa, hecho que resulta fundamental para el control glucémico, especialmente en la etapa adulta.
El sorbitol, un azúcar natural presente en la pasa de ciruela, ayuda a estabilizar la energía al retardar la absorción de glucosa. Además, estos frutos secos contienen minerales como hierro, cobre, magnesio y vitamina K. Todos estos micronutrientes resultan esenciales para la formación y el mantenimiento de los huesos y participan en procesos metabólicos vinculados a la fuerza física.
Especialistas en nutrición recomiendan consumir la pasa de ciruela con moderación para evitar un exceso de azúcares naturales. Una porción diaria sugerida consiste en 50 gramos, aproximadamente cinco o seis unidades. Se puede incorporar como colación, mezclar con yogur, añadir a ensaladas o integrar en postres saludables.
El impacto de las pasas de ciruela no se limitan a la preservación muscular y ósea. Este alimento también favorece la saciedad y la salud digestiva, lo que lo convierte en una opción versátil para adultos mayores de 45 años. Su inclusión regular en la dieta puede contribuir a la estabilidad energética y al bienestar general.
De acuerdo con especialistas consultados por O Globo, la clave radica en la moderación. Incluir la pasa de ciruela en cantidades adecuadas permite aprovechar sus beneficios sin incurrir en un consumo excesivo de azúcares.
Es fundamental adaptar la dieta a las características personales y consultar siempre a un profesional de la salud antes de realizar cambios importantes en la alimentación, especialmente para quienes presentan condiciones médicas preexistentes o requieren cuidados específicos.
El consumo equilibrado de pasa de ciruela puede ofrecer efectos positivos en la masa muscular y ósea, mejorar la regulación del apetito y el metabolismo y aportar saciedad y bienestar digestivo. Sin embargo, la individualización del plan alimentario y el asesoramiento profesional siguen siendo esenciales para un abordaje integral de la salud en la adultez.
Las pasas de ciruela puede incluirse en distintas comidas del día. Se recomienda consumirla sola como snack, mezclada con yogur natural o como ingrediente en ensaladas. También puede formar parte de postres saludables, siempre dentro de una planificación alimentaria que contemple las necesidades energéticas y nutricionales de cada persona.
La variedad de preparaciones permite adaptar este alimento a diferentes preferencias y rutinas. Además, su sabor dulce facilita la incorporación en platos tanto dulces como salados. Los expertos destacan que la consistencia y la frecuencia en el consumo son factores determinantes para observar resultados favorables en la salud muscular y ósea.
La evidencia actual respalda el papel de la pasa de ciruela como complemento en la dieta de personas mayores de 45 años. Su perfil nutricional y la facilidad para integrarla a diferentes comidas la posicionan como una opción accesible y eficaz. Aun así, la consulta profesional resulta insustituible para maximizar los beneficios y evitar riesgos asociados a la alimentación desequilibrada.

Arguing that noncitizens could be on state voter rolls — something that is illegal under federal law — the Trump administration is escalating its campaign to obtain registration data ahead of the 2026 midterms, despite a string of federal court setbacks.
The strategy has unfolded on three fronts: cooperation from Republican-led states willing to share voter data, lawsuits against roughly two dozen blue and purple states that have refused, and a legislative push in Congress to tighten national voting requirements. Federal judges have so far rebuffed the administration’s legal demands, but the Justice Department is widening its campaign as Election Day draws near.
Hans von Spakovsky, a senior legal fellow at the conservative group Advancing American Freedom, said voter rolls are a central focus ahead of the midterms because of the Trump administration’s concerns that noncitizens are on them and could end up voting. It is illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections.
«The problem is, blue states, like Oregon, they have no interest in that kind of verification, so they’re not actually doing what they ought to be doing, which is running data-based comparisons with the [Department of Homeland Security],» von Spakovsky told Fox News Digital.
DEMOCRATS CELEBRATE AS 73,000 NORTH CAROLINA VOTERS WITHOUT PROPER ID STAY ON ROLLS

The DOJ has made sweeping demands for not just publicly available voter roll data, but also sensitive information, such as voters’ partial Social Security numbers and dates of birth.
The latest state to successfully fight the DOJ’s request is Michigan, where Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said the federal government was not entitled to its 7 million voters’ personal information beyond what was already available.
The DOJ cited three federal laws, the Civil Rights Act, the Help America Vote Act and the National Voter Registration Act, that it said gave the Trump administration the right to the confidential information. Judge Hala Jarbou disagreed.

«The Court concludes that (1) HAVA does not require the disclosure of any records, (2) the NVRA does not require the disclosure of voter registration lists because they are not records concerning the implementation of list maintenance procedures, and (3) the CRA does not require the disclosure of voter registration lists because they are not documents that come into the possession of election officials,» Jarbou, a Trump appointee wrote.
Federal judges in Oregon and California have also thrown out the DOJ’s lawsuits. The DOJ could appeal the decisions. A department spokesperson declined to comment for this story.
But the DOJ has seen cooperation from red states, such as Texas, Alabama and Mississippi, who were among several to reach a «Memorandum of Understanding» that led the states to hand over the information the department wanted.
In another maneuver, Attorney General Pam Bondi pressured Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat, to provide the Midwest battleground’s voter rolls, saying in a warning letter that such action would help ease unrest in the state that stemmed from a federal immigration crackdown there.
Democrats were enraged by the letter and have argued the Trump administration is infringing on states’ rights to conduct their own elections.
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Ct., argued the letter was a «pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states,» while a state lawyer described the letter as a «ransom note.» The DOJ, at the time, told Fox News Digital Democrats were «shamelessly lying» about the letter’s purpose. Bondi said that handing over the voter rolls was among several «simple steps» Minnesota could take to «bring back law and order.» A lawsuit is still pending in Minnesota over the voter rolls.
In Congress, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act would make it a national requirement that people registering to vote provide in-person proof of citizenship, such as birth certificates or passports. The legislation also includes a new national requirement for photo ID at the polls.
The bill has widespread Republican support. The House passed the SAVE Act last week, and even moderate Republican senators like Sen. Susan Collins, R-Me., have said they are on board with it. The bill is still stalled in the Senate, however, because it needs 60 votes to pass, meaning several Democrats would need to support it. Currently, none do.
Von Spakovsky noted that the SAVE Act had a key provision that would allow private citizens to bring lawsuits over it.

«There’s no question in my mind that if the Save Act gets passed, there are election officials in blue states that will be reluctant to or may refuse to enforce the proof of citizenship requirement,» von Spakovsky said. «The Save Act provides a private right of action, so that means that citizens in Oregon could sue those election officials if they’re refusing to comply with the Save Act.»
He said the private right of action provision would also provide recourse for citizens if Democrats take over the DOJ in the next administration and refuse to enforce the SAVE Act.
Trump has repeatedly argued that noncitizen voting poses a threat to election integrity and has pressed Republican lawmakers to tighten federal requirements. Last week, he floated attempting to impose identification requirements through executive order if Congress does not act.
«This is an issue that must be fought, and must be fought, NOW!» Trump wrote on Truth Social. «If we can’t get it through Congress, there are Legal reasons why this SCAM is not permitted. I will be presenting them shortly, in the form of an Executive Order.»

A much broader bill called the Make Elections Great Again Act is still moving through the House and faces a steeper uphill climb to passage.
In addition to national documented proof of citizenship requirement, the MEGA Act would end universal mail voting, eliminate ranked-choice voting and ban ballots postmarked by Election Day from being accepted after that day, which would outlaw postmark rules in 14 states and Washington, D.C.

Sanders-endorsed Senate candidate knocked for alleged flip-flop to ‘have it both ways’ on key issue
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Democratic Senate candidate endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., is being slammed for allegedly flip-flopping on one of his primary campaign issues.
Abdul El-Sayed, the progressive candidate who previously ran an unsuccessful bid for Michigan governor, has made Medicare for All a hallmark of his Senate campaign.
However, as the Michigan Senate primary race heats up, El-Sayed’s Democratic opponent, state Sen. Mallory McMorrow, is accusing him of backing down from a full Medicare for all stance and of «rewriting definitions to have it both ways.»

Roxie Richner, an El-Sayed campaign spokesperson, responded by telling Fox News Digital that «Dr. El-Sayed is and has always been for Medicare for All—guaranteed public health insurance for every American. Cradle to grave. No premiums, deductibles, or co-pays.»
«Dr. El-Sayed would be the first Democratic doctor elected to the U.S. Senate since 1969, and he looks forward to passing Medicare for All into law,» added Richner.
El-Sayed’s campaign website page on «A Healthier America» cites a book he co-authored in 2021 in which he wrote that limiting private alternatives to Medicare for All would be important to ensuring providers accepted the insurance. The book advocates for Medicare for All as a type of «monopsony» in healthcare, in which there is only a single buyer of medical services, the government.
«By insuring all Americans, M4A becomes a monopsony in healthcare. This is different from a monopoly, where there’s only one seller of a good; in a monopsony there’s only one buyer of a good. That gives the single buyer considerable negotiating leverage, which Medicare could use to rein in the cost of drugs, hospital stays, and physician services,» the book reads.
In a November post on X, El-Sayed explained that this monopsony «would instantaneously create a disciplining feature against rising prices,» because it «takes out the profit motive on the payer end of the transaction.»
The book further states that «because alternatives to M4A [Medicare for All] would be limited, participation of providers would be virtually guaranteed.»
«Instead of spending time and money dealing with the arcane requirements of hundreds of different health plans […] providers could use one streamlined system that would free up resources to focus on clinical care,» the books reads.
The latest version of the federal Medicare for All Act, introduced in the Senate by Sanders, includes language that would effectively ban most comprehensive private insurance plans and relegate private insurers to providing limited supplemental care.
The legislation would make it unlawful for «a private health insurer to sell health insurance coverage that duplicates the benefits provided under this Act; or (2) an employer to provide benefits for an employee, former employee, or the dependents of an employee or former employee that duplicate the benefits provided under this Act.»

El-Sayed testified before the Senate in support of the Medicare for All Act in 2022, calling it «the clearest pathway to universal, durable health care insurance, bar none» and saying that «cradle to grave coverage would do away with the premiums, co pays, deductibles that leave even privately insured Americans rationing their health care today.»
The year before, in an interview with NerdWallet, El-Sayed said that under a Medicare for All plan, the government would be «buying you out» of your private insurance plan but that «a few insurance companies that offered a sort of concierge-level service for folks who wanted to pay for that.»
In a 2024 episode of the «America Dissected» podcast, El-Sayed emphasized that «we don’t really need private health insurance in this country.»
He said that «private health insurance is a system by which you have a middleman in our healthcare system making a tremendous amount of money that is leading to a number of the biggest problems in American healthcare whether that’s the fact that our costs continue to spiral upward, whether that’s the fact that nearly ten million people in our country don’t get health insurance at all, or it’s the fact that we are consistently in this country, unable to guarantee, even people who are insurance access to the health care they need.»
In October, El-Sayed knocked McMorrow for advocating for allowing a public option under universal healthcare, writing on X, «a public option can’t deliver healthcare to every Michigander. Medicare for All can.» Politico, in December, reported El-Sayed slamming McMorrow’s call for universal health care with a public option as «incoherent.»
«Now a public option is exactly that; it’s just an option. There is no reason why it would actually address any of the foundational problems in our system. It wouldn’t bring down the rising costs. It wouldn’t guarantee people health care, and we don’t really know how much it would cost,» he said.
Yet, while speaking on the Brian Tyler Cohen Podcast in January, El-Sayed suggested that under Medicare for All, «if you like your insurance from your employer or from your union, that can still be there for you.»

Days later, speaking on radio channel WDET, he again said, «Medicare for All is government health insurance guaranteed for everyone, regardless of what circumstances you’re in. If you like your insurance through your employer or through your union, I hope that’ll be there for you. But if you lose your job, if your factory shuts down, you shouldn’t be destitute without the health care that you need and deserve.» He also said, «If you have a public option, what happens is, the private health insurance system will try to dump all of the most expensive patients onto that public option, vastly increasing the cost of that public option and making it unsustainable.»

El-Sayed’s campaign website states that he «believes in expanding Medicare to cover every single American from cradle to grave while sustaining the option for workers to keep supplemental private insurance their unions or employers may provide.» Amid criticism from McMorrow, El-Sayed doubled down on his Medicare for All messaging in a January fundraising message, in which he wrote that «private insurance could supplement or duplicate Medicare.»
Meanwhile, McMorrow has accused him of not being honest on Medicare for All.
«On an issue as important as healthcare, you have to be honest about what you’re fighting for,» McMorrow wrote in a public reply to El-Sayed, adding, «The Medicare for All legislation that you’ve championed completely eliminates private health insurance as it exists today.»
Sanders’ office did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
