Grand Canal, Venice

A virtual tour of Venice in all her romantic glory Grand Canal, Venice It’s been a turbulent time for Venice in recent times. This charming holiday hotspot much loved for its romantic gondolas, compelling culture and historical architecture attracted tourists in droves for years. Overtourism took its toll stealing some of the local allure and the city was looking for ways to trim the tourist numbers. This included banning the opening of new “kebab” shops, making it harder for cruise ships to dock and even implemented a tourist tax. To no avail. Then nature made it happen. In mid-November 2019, the city saw its highest water levels since 1966, causing devastation. On December 23, Venice was struck by another water surge that damaged landmarks and shops in the heart of the city. Water levels reached 74.4 ”nearly as much as the epic 76.4 ″ reached in 1966. The town was in a state of emergency with a bill for $ 1.1 billion for restoration. Just as Venice began to recover her charm an

Almonds Milk Benefits

Image
1. Low in calories Almond milk is much lower in calories than cow's milk. This can confuse some considering that almonds are high in calories and fat. However, due to the process of processing almond milk, only a very small percentage of almonds is in the final product. So this is a good choice for people who want to reduce calories and lose weight. A glass (240ml) of almond milk (without sugar) contains about 30-5 calories, while the same amount of a whole cow's milk contains 146 calories. This means that almond milk contains 65-80% fewer calories. Reducing your calorie intake is an effective way to lose weight, especially in combination with exercise. Even a small weight loss of 5-10% can help prevent and manage diseases such as diabetes. If you are trying to lose weight by simply substituting two to three servings of dairy products with almond milk you may end up consuming up to 348 fewer calories. Most weight loss strategies suggest consuming about 500 fewer calories
