Landaverde’s family took to Instagram on June 6 to share the shocking news with their loyal followers.
They said: “It is a painful truth for the family, but we are sharing it with all the media: our beloved Callejas 503 has left this world.
“We thank each and every one of you for the love and support you have shown him.”
Although the family has not confirmed the cause of his untimely death, fans speculate that the food blogger may have suffered a heart attack.
A funeral for Landaverde was held last week, along with a live-streamed memorial service for his followers.
The family added: “We ask for your understanding and respect for the family’s grief. We appreciate all the messages, support and love.”
Tributes from fans around the world poured in for the YouTuber star.
One such fan wrote: “We will miss you, The Big Callejas.
“Your last trip through the streets in your Toyota or on your motorcycle, you always brought us joy on sad days.
“It breaks my heart that I can’t watch you on YouTube like I used to.”
Another mourner expressed: “Rest in peace Callejitas, I remember when I got COVID in 2021 and left the hospital, your videos were very helpful in lifting my spirits.
“You are already resting king.”
At the time of his death, Landaverde had over 178,000 subscribers on YouTube after starting his channel in 2012.
He documented food reviews, travel moments, and funny moments from his daily life.
In one of his videos, Landaverde complained that social media was not valued in El Salvador.
He fumed: “I really appreciate it when brands or people value my work because here in my country, El Salvador, brands don’t support content creators.
“They’d rather pay a fortune to be on TV, even though we could probably give them better publicity… Most companies try to pay with barter deals and are reluctant to invest in you, while they spend a lot of money elsewhere, on radio and on TV .
“But who else watches TV or listens to the radio? Everything is online now.”
Dangers of obesity
ACCORDING to the NHS, around one in four adults in the UK are obese.
It is a serious health problem known to increase the chances of other illnesses, including:
- Type 2 diabetes
- Heart diseases
- Forms of cancer
- Traits
A large study found that gaining weight may be a factor in four out of 10 cancers.
Experts say obesity may now be linked to 32 tumor types – 19 more than previously thought.
The “innovative” research from Lund University in Sweden followed 4.1 million people for up to 45 years and analyzed 332,501 cases of cancer.
It found that up to 40 percent of cases were contributed by the patient’s weight.
Excessive sagging has recently been linked to more tumor types than the 13 officially recognized by the International Agency for Research on Cancer in 2016.
They included cancers of the mouth, throat, stomach and brain.
Study author Dr Ming Sun said: “Our findings suggest that the impact of obesity on cancer may be greater than previously known.
“It is a risk factor for more cancers, especially rarer ones, and some of them have never been investigated before in relation to obesity.
“Established obesity-related cancers represented 25% of all cancer cases in this study, and the proportion increased to 40% when potential obesity-related cancers were added.
“A substantial proportion of cancers could potentially be prevented by maintaining a normal weight.”
How to lose weight without surgery?
There are several other ways to lose weight without going under the knife.
According to the NHS, to get the best possible start on your weight loss plan, there are seven steps you should follow:
- Stay active for 150 minutes a week – you can break this up into shorter sessions
- Aim to get 5 a day – 80g of fresh, tinned or frozen fruit or vegetables counts as 1 serving
- Aim to lose 1 to 2 pounds, or 0.5 to 1 kg, per week
- Read food labels – products that are color coded greener than amber and red are often a healthier option
- Swap sugary drinks for water – if you don’t like the taste, add lemon or lime slices for flavor
- Reduce your consumption of foods high in sugar and fat – start by swapping sugary cereals for whole-grain alternatives
- Share your weight loss plan with someone you trust – they can help motivate you when you have a bad day
