Vitamin D supplements aren't very effective for obese people: Study

-

A new study has  found that vitamin D supplements are not as effective for obese people with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30, as they are for people with a BMI less than 25.

Dietitian Dr. Linya Patel, in a study  of 2,842 people under the age of 40 in the UK, said that those who had a higher BMI and waist width were observed to have vitamin D deficiency, but surprisingly when they were given vitamin D tablets, they were less effective than others.


BMI is a method of measuring fat in the body, while measuring the waist shows how much fat is present on a person's stomach.


Dr. Linya Patel said that the researchers had two problems. Initially, they found that people who were obese had vitamin D deficiency and when supplements tried to make up for this deficiency, their vitamin D levels did not increase as much as seen in a 'normal weight' person. So that was also  a problem.


He said that if your BMI is high, then your chances of suffering from cardio-metabolic diseases (heart disease, diabetes, liver problems, etc.) increase and if people are given vitamin D supplements, these chances can be reduced.

He said that it was a problem to recommend vitamin D supplements to everyone in the same way, not taking care of different people.

The possible role of vitamin D deficiency in increasing the risk of various complications is controversial as numerous trials and studies have provided unsatisfactory results.

According to Dr. Linya Patel, it is also possible that answers to the wrong questions are being sought in the exams

India instructs VPN companies to collect and store data for five and hand over to the government.

 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
