Unless they are diligent marathon runners, few French people know Iten. This city of Kenya with a population of 42,000, located at an altitude of 2400 meters, is a fabulous place for lovers of running. Hundreds of intercity race champions have crossed this highland for training.
This is the case of Guillaume Pontier, the founder of Distance, a specialty store originally from Lyon (13, rue Cavenne), also located in Paris (14, rue des Filles du Calvaire). “My father is a running coach, he has coached the French mid-distance teams for a long time, he explains. For the last ten years he has been organizing training courses there. This allowed me to discover that place. “
Used running shoes
The 30-year-old specialist notes on the spot that, except for sponsored athletes, many interns do not have the necessary equipment for running. “The city’s two stores, which sell models for about 100 euros, cater more to visiting foreign athletes than to Kenyans, whose average salary is about 50 euros.” Then the entrepreneur decided to sell second-hand running shoes there at a lower price.
“Some brands have offered us test pairs, which have been used very little. Some of the resources come from our customers, which change frequently shoes After 600 kilometers. Then they can live a second life.continues Guillaume Pontier. The goal is to offer affordable but not free equipment to underprivileged athletes, as this can disrupt the local economy and weaken other running players. But to create local jobs. Proceeds from the sale of the couple, from 4 to 20 euros, are used to finance salaries and rents.»

According to the WHO, about 4,000 people die annually from air pollution.
Breathing air below the quality levels considered ideal by the World Health Organization (WHO) is part of the reality of almost the entire world population. The scenario is aggravating and threatens public health, since, according to the entity, 99% of people breathe polluted air on a global scale. About 4 million people die annually from inhaling air pollution, according to the WHO..
Published this Monday, 4th, the report analyzed 6,000 cities in 117 countries between 2010 and 2019. “The WHO Air Quality Database compiles data on soil measurements of mean annual concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particles with a diameter of 10 micrometers or less (PM10) or 2.5 micrometers or less. (PM2.5) that aim to represent an average for the city as a whole”the entity explained in a statement.
AIR POLLUTION CAN CAUSE RESPIRATORY AND CARDIOVASCULAR DAMAGE
According to the WHO, these pollutants come mainly from the burning of fossil fuels. And the health effects? These particles are capable of causing respiratory and cardiovascular damage. PM2.5, for example, enters the lung and can reach the bloodstream. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) can cause diseases such as asthma..
Although almost the entire world population breathes poor quality air, the greatest exposure is among poorer countries. “The worst air quality can be found in low- and middle-income countries, where only 1% of cities meet the WHO Air Quality Guidelines”the entity said in a statement.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesusdirector-general of the WHO, issued an alert for the urgency of seeking clean energy sources. “Current concerns highlight the importance of accelerating the transition to cleaner, healthier energy systems”.

Dental surgeon Paulo Zahr explains everything people need to know about oral candidiasis, better known as ‘thrush’
Certainly most people, at some point, have heard about the candidiasis. Of fungal origin, the disease can be transmitted through sexual contact and usually affects the genital region, groin or adjacent areas. But, after all, how can it reach the mouth? What are the implications of this problem for oral and body health? the dentist surgeon Paulo Zahrfounder of the largest network of dental clinics in the world, clarifies these and other doubts on the subject.
ORAL CANDIDIASIS: What is it?
“Thrush”, as oral candidiasis is popularly known, is responsible for the emergence of a series of signs that affect the most varied regions of the mouth, although they are much more recurrent in the tongue area. In addition, it can bring harm to other regions, spreading to the organs of the respiratory system and even to the skin.
How does contagion occur?
Candidiasis is a problem caused by the exacerbated presence of a fungus in our body, known by the scientific name of Candida albicans. This fungus is normally passed from person to person through direct contact. Examples of practices that favor contagion are: kissing, sexual intercourse and sharing utensils and objects, which are taken to the mouth – even this is one of the most common reasons for contagion in babies and small children.
What are the most common causes
The drop in immunity is the main reason for the problem, as the fungus that causes candida can be present in the body almost naturally, without being a problem for people who are healthy. Babies, young children, the elderly or people with chronic diseases are more likely to develop the disease. In addition to these, individuals who are constantly exposed to stressful situations or who make frequent use of antibiotics are also part of the risk groups for oral candidiasis.
What are the symptoms
– Sensation of dryness in the mouth;
– Cracks throughout the oral cavity;
– Emergence of reddish lesions;
– Appearance of white lesions throughout the mouth;
– Development of a white, cheese-like secretion;
– Pain to swallow;
– Reduced appetite;
– Nausea and vomiting;
– Sensation of swelling in the throat.
It is worth noting that not all people will have all the symptoms mentioned. However, the appearance of just one of these signs is enough to make it necessary to schedule an appointment with a dentist.
“Thrush”: How the diagnosis is made
The professional will observe the patient’s history and complaints and thus continue the investigation. In most cases, visual examination of the lesions is sufficient for the diagnosis. However, the specialist can also take a cell sample and examine your cells under a microscope, making a more in-depth analysis of the case.
how to treat
Treatment typically involves topical application or oral administration of drugs that fight the fungus. Other medications may also be used to reduce concurrent symptoms, such as pain or discomfort. It is worth mentioning that only a qualified professional can make the correct prescription for each case.
How is prevention done?
Preventing this problem is not always possible. However, some good practices can reduce the chances of contracting the disease. The first is to avoid direct contact with strangers, especially without protection, as in the case of sexual intercourse. Then we can mention the adoption of good habits and a healthier lifestyle, such as avoiding cigarettes, alcohol, taking the appropriate treatment for any chronic diseases and taking care of oral hygiene.
