You’ve probably read about these or have seen them on TV: from Tokyo to all corners of the world, capsule hotels are an innovative idea that brings many benefits to its users and to the city. Capsule hotels are fancy hostels where, instead of sleeping in bunk beds, guests sleep in small, individual capsules in a hall with 20-40 others. In these hotels, bathrooms are shared but there are usually individual shower rooms to keep guests as comfortable as possible. They also usually separate men from women, a tradition that comes from its Japanese concept.

Originally designed for businessmen who worked late and needed a place to crash, capsule hotels are also a good idea because: they’re cheap: Since hotel prices in Tokyo can be extremely high, capsule hotels are a cheap alternative, charging around half their price - while still being located in the same areas as any fancy hotel. They also deal very well with large amounts of guests, as they can host hundreds of guests at a time in a much smaller area than most hotels.

Also if you lost your luggage while traveling, make sure to check in on one of these hotels, as they provide you with the regular clean towels, slippers, soap, as well as comfy pajamas, umbrellas, a toothbrush and toothpaste and other items to help you go through that first night in the city. Capsule hotels are also very quiet, as they have a “keep quiet” policy in all rooms, meaning there are no loud noises from outside or even from your neighbors in other pods or capsules.

So, if you’re planning a cool adventure (hopefully in the not so distant future), how about giving a capsule hotel a try? It’s never too late for trying out something new!

No need to wait for the next pandemic, it’s always a good idea to keep your immune system in top shape in order to withstand the yearly bouts of influenza and colds. Your diet goes a long way in strengthening your body’s immune system, so we have collected a list of natural sources of vitamins and minerals that are essential for a well-functioning immune system.


Vitamin C

This vitamin is an antioxidant and helps fight free radicals that put a stress on the immune system. Add these foods to your diet:

  • Citrus fruits and juices (oranges, limes, grapefruit)
  • Kiwi
  • Red and green peppers
  • Broccoli
  • Strawberries


Vitamin E

Another powerful and useful antioxidant that you can find in these foods:

  • Almonds
  • Sunflower seeds
  • Hazelnuts
  • Peanut butter (preferably with no sugar added)

Zinc

This is an essential mineral in the production of immune system cells, so be sure you get enough of it in your diet. Zinc-rich foods include:

  • Oysters
  • Cashews
  • Chickpeas
  • Crab and lobster
  • Baked beans

Carotenoids (Vitamin A)

Carotenoids are a class of natural pigments found in plants that when consumed, they are converted into Vitamin A. Get your carotenoid boost from these foods:

  • Carrots
  • Kale
  • Apricots
  • Papaya
  • Mango

Omega-3

Omega-3 is a fatty acid that helps reduce inflammation in the body and keep the immune system in balance. Consume these foods rich in Omega-3:

Sloto School of Greatness

"That which does not kill us, makes us stronger."

- Friedrich Nietzsche

The coronavirus pandemic has taught us how to be stronger, tougher and more resilient in the face of new challenges. Few of us would have expected such a radical change in our lives at the start of the year, and yet, midway into 2020, we are facing a trial not seen in a hundred years.

From every experience, no matter how difficult, we can always extract lessons. The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us how fast humanity as a whole can act to protect the members of its population.

Lesson 1: Global challenges have no national borders

We are a global village and the challenges we face as a planet will need the collaboration of all nations. An epidemic is clearly the case, but also concerning threats such as climate change need our action, because no one is geographically immune to the consequences and the natural disasters foreseen as a result of it. We need to keep cooperating to make the world a safer place, not only for us, but also for next generations to come. Let’s work together by making every possible shift toward a greener, more sustainable world.

Lesson 2: Changes occur in full spectrum

We have seen that the most efficient way to halt the spread of the coronavirus is to set in place social distancing. This measure was taken by governments around the world, but without the cooperation of all individuals it would have been of little avail. Single actions are as important as those from the authorities and governments.

Lesson 3: Allow the experts to lead the way

During the coronavirus epidemic, there were many rumors and myths roaming around. It is easy to express your opinion on matters of life and death, but it’s only the experts (doctors, scientists, researchers) who can guide us when a deadly situation arises in the world. They work hard to base their opinions on facts and not just whims of the imagination. In the future, let’s listen to qualified members of society when it comes to deciding the best course of action.

Lesson 4: Prevention is better

It has been shown that it’s better to slow the spreading of a disease than to deal with an overload in the health sector. The same applies for climate change - we better act now to prevent rising temperatures and the decimation of the biosphere, rather than to deal with its daunting consequences!
