What is Yerba Matte?
Yerba mate, also known simply as mate, is an herbal tea made from the leaves of the plant Ilex paraguariensis, which is native to South America. The beverage is prepared by steeping dried leaves in hot water and can also be served cold. Like black or green tea, yerba mate contains caffeine, which can enhance alertness and focus[2][6].
Traditionally, yerba mate is served in a hollowed-out gourd and sipped through a metal straw known as a bombilla[4]. It is recognized for its unique beverage experience, providing energy and a smooth boost due to the combined presence of caffeine, theobromine, and polyphenols[4]. In addition to being popular in South America, yerba mate has gained recognition and consumption in other regions, including the United States and Europe[6].
While generally safe for most adults when consumed in moderation, excessive intake—around 1 to 2 liters per day—has been linked to an increased cancer risk in some studies, especially when combined with smoking or alcohol[2]. It is advisable for individuals, particularly those who are pregnant or taking medications, to consult a healthcare provider before consuming yerba mate[2].
Overall, yerba mate is well-regarded for its stimulating effects and cultural significance, particularly in countries like Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay[1].

Why do we get sweetcorn in our poop instead of fully digested?
Sweet corn may appear undigested in stool primarily because of its outer shell made of cellulose, which humans cannot break down. While the starchy interior is digested effectively, the tough outer layer often survives the digestive process and exits the body intact[1][6].
Additionally, factors like not chewing the corn well or consuming it too quickly can result in undigested pieces appearing in stool. A high fiber diet, including sweet corn, can also lead to some food passing through the digestive system without complete breakdown[2][5].

UNWTO 2021 74% 2020 1.3 trillion
Secondo i rapporti UNWTO, l’industria del turismo globale nel 2021 ha continuato a operare a livelli ben inferiori rispetto ai dati pre‐pandemici, con gli arrivi internazionali che sono rimasti tra il 70% e il 75% inferiori rispetto al 2019[3][7]. Inoltre, i dati indicano che il prodotto lordo diretto del turismo è cresciuto nel 2021, raggiungendo circa 1,9 trilioni di dollari, anche se questo risultato rimane significativamente al di sotto dei livelli pre-pandemici (circa 3,5 trilioni di dollari)[2][7].
Per quanto riguarda la cifra di 1,3 trilioni di dollari riferita al 2020, nessuna delle fonti in nostro possesso menziona esplicitamente tale valore, quindi non è possibile confermare quel dato sulla base dei testi disponibili.
