Connecting to the source…
To spend the days of Holy Week without unwanted gastrointestinal disorders and changes in your weight due to fasting, you should be careful not to overdo it.   On fasting days   • Do 5 meals a day that is 3 mainly (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and 2 intermediate meals. Serve lunch and dinner with a salad. Don't skip meals. Good options for intermediate meals are fruits combined with raw foods, unsalted nuts. Nuts bring about the feeling of satiety faster. . • Beware of consuming large amounts of starchy foods. Choose plain slices of bread rather than baguettes, moderate your consumption of pasta and rice. Choose whole grain products over processed ones because the fiber they contain helps stabilize blood glucose. • Eat seafood, like octopus, cuttlefish, shrimp and shellfish. Seafood is a good source of high biological value protein with low calories. also, you should know that seafood cholesterol has little effect on blood cholesterol levels.

Those of you who are more serious about the sport will already know the two major sailing races that are organized on the island during the year (in March and October).

The demand for diesel is constantly decreasing

More articles in the source.
According to a recent report by Automotive News, demand for diesel models will fall by 30% in the near future, while the interest of manufacturers is shifting to electric cars.   Analyzes that have come to light predict a gradual decline in demand for diesel vehicles, which according to Automotive News will reach the 30% up to 2020. Creating playgrounds for use by children with mobility problems and ensuring their access to all municipal structures and schools, the article talks about the "disappearance" of diesel vehicles in the coming years, as more and more European cities will have a hostile attitude towards them.   We expect developments on this issue in the Autumn, where the EU will announce new emission limits, based on actual measurements on the road and not in a lab. Analysts point out that this development will bring about several changes in motoring, as many manufacturers will not be able to catch the new limits.   Naturally, the above data bring the new gasoline engines to the fore again (their development is much more accessible) and are pushing manufacturers to make bigger leaps in electrification.

Plug-in hybrid in development 3008

Read more at the source…
A hotter version of the new 3008 it has long been on Peugeot's table but only recently have the French decided to proceed with its implementation.

TEXT: IRINI MOUSTAKARIA

There are some misgivings on the French side about how to approach a new one, hotter, edition. Some talk about simply putting a GTI logo and others, like Laurent Blanchet, Peugeot Product Manager, for a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) with the extra addition of the letters GT. A hybrid is a sports car, but the GTI logo is more suited to small hatchback cars. Right now one 3008 GTI is something that should not be done. Ant’ of this we could use the GT logo. The PHEV we are preparing will be available with a gasoline engine 1.6 THP that in combination with the electric motor will deliver 300 about horsepower. It will also have four-wheel drive while covering the 100 kilometers from a standstill in less than six seconds'. Blanchet did not shy away from pointing out that this version is about two years away from today: The 3008 with this technology it will be ready 2019 and then we will develop a PHEV for our entire range'.
