This was revealed in a study conducted in Spain.


Finding the causes of obesity in overweight and obese children can help protect them from other diseases in adolescence, such as coronary heart disease and metabolic disorders, according to research from the Hospital Dale Mar Medical Research Institute. 



Physical activity, bedtime, television viewing time, vegetarian diet, and the consumption of processed or junk foods were all examined as part of the study.


The findings of the study, which included 1,480 children, were published in the journal Pediatric Obesity.


Parents were asked a variety of questions about their 4-year-old children's lifestyle habits during the study. At the ages of 4 and 7, blood pressure was measured.


Children under the age of four who are less physically active and spend more time in front of the television have a higher risk of body weight gain, obesity, and metabolic syndrome by the age of seven, according to research.


Other children's activities, such as reading, drawing, and solving puzzles, had no effect on body weight, according to the researchers.


According to researchers, when children watch television, they are exposed to numerous advertisements for foods that are harmful to their health, and they may even consume these foods.


These children consume more ultra-processed foods such as pastries, sugary drinks, salt, sugar, and fatty foods.


Excessive consumption of these items at the age of four has been linked to excess body weight at the age of seven, according to research.


According to researchers, watching TV increases the distance from physical activity in children and also affects the scheduled time of sleep and good sleep at this age is essential for controlling body weight in boyhood.

 A new governmental order will require virtual private networks to store user data for a minimum of five years. This is new national directive of the country's IT emergency response team, called. Photo by Kevin Paster: Pexel This is a policy that is probably going to make life harder for VPN businesses and VPN users. CERT-in announced on Thursday that the VPN companies of the country will have to keep the names of the clients, the physical and IP addresses validated, the habits of use and other forms of personal information. If the customer cancels their subscription or deletes their account, their information will always be stored in the company's servers according to the directive. Those who fail to do so could face up to one year in prison under the applicable law cited in the new directive. The directive does not stop at VPN providers.Data centres and cloud-based providers are listed in the same provision. India has a long tradition of putting the heavy hand to online activ

Brutal crackdown by the government could not deter people from coming out of their homes and heading towards Islamabad

-
 The government’s crackdown on PTI workers and supporters made it clear that they have decided to stop PTI’s Independence March at all cost. News reports say more than 1,000 PTO workers and activists have been arrested.  The government has called in the Rangers to maintain law and order in Islamabad and other major cities of the country, including Karachi. All entrances and exits to and from Islamabad were shut down, as was traffic between Lahore and the Twin Cities. The government has also instructed transport companies not to offer buses, cars, or vans to PTI workers. The manner in which Shahbaz and its allies are using state apparatus to prevent people from participating in the march is not acceptable.  The #WeAreComingKaptaan hashtag tells us that brutal crackdown by the government could not deter people from coming out of their homes and heading towards Islamabad.  Look what this government is doing spreading broken glasses on the road.

Everything you need to know about DDR5

 DDR4 memory is found on most personal computers. The next generation memory standard is coming out. Computers users expect increased performance and optimal power consumption  in the new chips.  If we focus on raw data, the main changes include a reduction in the voltage from 1.2V to 1.1V, and the 8n prefetch buffer will be replaced by 16n prefetch buffers, i.e. 16 bits per hour will migrate from memory cells to the IO buffer, while performance will be scaled from 3.2 Gbps to 6.4 Gbps per I/O connection. We can expect increased performance as some memory makers  have managed to enhance JEDEC specifications for DDR4.  The design of the DDR5 memory modules is based on 288 needles. The application of DDR5 will requires a new platform.  The DIMM has been divided into two channels. A memory module offers two 32-bit channels, of which there will be twice 40 bits with ECC. Between 8 bytes to 16 bytes the minimum stroke length varies. Sense a module uses two channels, it means it can double t
