The hand grenade is a powerful projectile that can explode or start a fire
A grenade is a projectile that contains gunpowder inside. It is an explosive that, depending on the design, can be thrown using a grenade launcher or directly by hand.
explosive projectile
In the first case, the grenade is a metal projectile that is fired by an artillery piece. As for the hand grenade , it is shaped like a sphere and has a fuze (an element that, located in the nozzle of the bomb, allows the charge to be fired).
There are several kinds of grenades. Fragmentation grenades disperse, with their explosion, shrapnel that is usually lethal. Stun grenades , on the other hand, do not cause death, but rather disorient the enemy through a very loud noise and a flash of light. Concussion grenades , meanwhile, cause damage with their explosion , without expelling fragments.
Non-explosive grenades
There are grenades, on the other hand, that do not explode. Incendiary grenades (which produce fire ) and smoke grenades are part of this set.
Pomegranate fruit
The fruit of the pomegranate tree , a tree in the Punicaceae family group, is also called pomegranate. The pomegranate has a balloon appearance and has juicy grains with a sweet or sour flavor. The pomegranate is used to make grenadine , a non-alcoholic drink with which cocktails such as acapulco or tequila sunrise and sex on the beach are prepared.
Regarding its properties and benefits for our health, we can mention that it is ideal for treating gastrointestinal problems thanks to its rich tannin content, a characteristic that promotes the absorption of water and, therefore, helps combat disorders such as diarrhea, stomach pains, parasites in the intestine and dyspepsia, among others. Heart health can also be improved thanks to pomegranate, which helps purify the bloodstream and improves its flow.
This is also reflected in the control of bad cholesterol and the reduction of blood pressure. Athletes can benefit from this as it gives them more energy for their physical activities. On an intellectual level, the polyphenols and antioxidants in pomegranate are very beneficial for enhancing learning and memory processes .
Another benefit of pomegranate is the reinforcement of the immune system , thanks to the stimulation of probiotics in our body so that it increases its effectiveness in blocking potential infections of different types.
As a proper name
Granada , finally, is the name of several places. An island country of the American continent located in the Caribbean Sea ; a province and city of Spain ; and a city and department of Nicaragua are named this way.
Agustín Lara's song is the Anthem of Granada
On the other hand, Granada is the title of a well-known song written in 1932 by Agustín Lara , a composer of Mexican origin. To this day, it is a classic of music, which is part of the repertoire of countless lyrical singers, but also popular singers. As a curious fact, Lara dedicated the song to the Spanish city of the same name but only visited it for the first time more than two decades later.
In 1997, the version adapted by Mr. Luis Megías Castilla became the Official Anthem of the city, in accordance with the unanimous decision of the Granada City Council . It should be noted that Lara composed this emblematic song for the tenor Pedro Vargas , highly acclaimed in his time and largely responsible for its popularity. In addition to having transcended the boundaries of its nation, Granada has been translated into other languages, including English and Hebrew.
