New research: Intermittent fasting can prevent diabetes
A number of studies have shown that intermittent fasting is more than just a nutritional trend. You only eat at certain intervals. This eating pattern has been linked to a number of health benefits and is also said to prevent fatty liver disease and diabetes.
Residents and tourists on Stromboli were evacuated on Wednesday after two massive eruptions rocked the small island. The Italian National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV) recorded the explosions on the south side of the volcano's crater at 12:46 p.m. Before the explosions, lava flows were observed “from all active mouths of the crater terrace,” the INGV said. The eruptions produced a cloud of smoke two kilometers high.
A Navy boat was sent to the 12-square-kilometer island for a possible mass evacuation. 70 residents and tourists have already been evacuated. “It was like being in hell because rain of fire was falling from the sky,” Italian news agencies quoted local priest Giovanni Longo as saying. Efforts to extinguish the flames with a firefighting aircraft were hampered by the large amount of smoke.
A 35-year-old tourist from Sicily died in the volcanic eruption. His Brazilian companion was found dehydrated and in shock. The two men were below 400 meters altitude.
Although it is known that theVolcano is active, the two explosions on Wednesday are said to have been particularly violent. Italian media reported that some tourists fled into the sea while others barricaded themselves in houses.
The active volcano is a magnet for tourists who come to the island from early spring every year. Stromboli became famous after a 1950 film of the same name by Roberto Rossellini, which starred Ingrid Bergman.
The 924 meter high Stromboli on the island of the same name is one of the world's most active volcanoes and is almost constantly in motion. A previous massive eruption in December 2002 caused a tidal wave up to 10 meters high after a rocky slope slid into the sea. The Italian government banned access to the island at the time because there was a risk of further landslides. Most of the island's population moved to Lipari, the administrative center of the Aeolian Island.
Early last month, the INGV reported that lava was emerging from two eruptive fissures on nearby EtnaSicilyhad left. The volcano previously erupted in December.
