Smartphone: How It Affects Our Diet & Weight?

by
How Your Smartphone Could Affect Your Weight and Diet

A smartphone is the most important aspect in today’s era, through which we can communicate, keep ourselves socialized and so on.

You may keep your smartphone close for an alarm or even to observe the quality of your sleep for health purposes.

However, your smartphone is not a good sleep companion! In addition to bedtime, your phone is harming you during the day in more ways than you realize.

The study looked at data from over 53,000 Korean adolescents from the Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-Based Survey and discovered that teens who used their phones for more than 2 hours per day were significantly more likely to eat more processed foods and fewer fruits and vegetables than teens who put their phones down more frequently.

Dr. Rekha B. Kumar, attending endocrinologist at Weill Cornell Medicine and medical director of the American Board of Obesity Medicine, told Healthline, “These results do not surprise me considering that screen time is a totally sedentary activity occupying time in which teens could be participating in sports or other physical activities.”

Other outcomes from the study include:

  1. When compared to individuals who spent less than 2 hours a day on their phone, teens who spent at least 5 hours a day on their phone were more likely to consume carbonated and noncarbonated sugar-sweetened beverages, as well as eat fast food, chips, and instant noodles.
  2. People who used their phones to seek information ate better than those who used them to communicate, utilize messenger, play games, watch videos, listen to music, or connect on social media.
  3. Teens who spent the majority of their time on their phones playing games, watching videos, listening to music, or reading webtoons or web novels were more likely to be overweight or obese.

France imposes unprecedented $268 million fine On Google

by
France imposes a 220 million euro fine on Google for dominating ads

Technology giant Google has been fined $268 million by France’s competition regulator on Monday for abusing its market power in the online advertising industry.

Google was found to have given preferential treatment to its own ad inventory auction service AdX and to Doubleclick Ad Exchange. It’s a real-time platform for allowing clients to choose and buy advertising, by the competition authority.

The authority’s president Isabelle de Silva said, “It is the first ruling in the world to scrutinize the complex algorithmic processes for the auctions that determine online ‘display’ advertising.”

Media companies looking to sell ad space on their websites or mobile applications through rival platforms frequently. It discovered that Google’s services were unfairly competing against rivals through a number of means.

Regulators discovered that Doubleclick would adjust the commission it earned while making a sale dependent on the pricing offered by other so-called ad servers.

The regulator stated, “The practices are particularly serious because they are penalizing Google’s competitors in the SSP market as well as the editors of websites and mobile apps.”

Media companies have seen a drop in internet ad revenue, “even as their business model has been strongly undermined by the decline in paper subscriptions and the associated drop in advertising revenue.”

The findings were not challenged by Google, and the regulator stated that the business has agreed to make operational adjustments, including enhanced interoperability with third-party ad placement providers.

Maria Gomri, legal director at Google France stated, “We are going to test and develop these changes in the coming months before deploying them more broadly, including some on a global scale.”

The penalties are a small number compared to Google’s $55.3 billion in revenue in the first quarter of this year, primarily from online ad sales.

Last week, Facebook was the subject of a rival competition investigation from the European Union and the United Kingdom, both looking into whether the social media giant is misusing data from advertisers to gain an unfair advantage in the online classifieds market.

Mango Myth: Does It Really Make You Gain Weight?

by
Pakistan Foreign Office Clarifies Reports Regarding Mango Diplomacy

Mango is considered the king of fruits because not only does it taste great, but also there are so many health benefits of eating mangoes.

According to medical experts, mango is rich in vitamin E, the use of which keeps a person healthy and fresh, while these vitamins provide freshness to the skin and prevent pimples on the face. Vitamin C in mango lowers blood cholesterol while Vitamin A in it protects the eyesight from weakening and in addition, this fruit also protects the eyes from the harmful rays of the sun.

The king of fruits is not only known for its sugary element but is also healthy in more ways than one. Along with its yummy tropical flavour, mangoes deliver a bulk of nutrients too.

Does Mango Really Make You Gain Weight?

Gaining weight and extra fat is a problem we all bear and fear. A lot of people avoid eating mangoes as much as they would like. They think that eating mangoes every day could make you put on weight.

According to nutritionists, “Mangoes are fat-free, cholesterol-free and salt-free and are super fruits for summers. They are great nourishers for the body.” However, that does not mean one eats mangoes the whole day in every meal.

In fact, mangoes can help in losing weight, only if they are eaten within a specified calorie limit. Mango is rich in vitamin C and vitamin A, iron, copper and abundant potassium that is great for the body.

However, it is an energy food and provides a sugar rush to your body keeping you energetic and active throughout the day.

A medium-sized mango weighs around 200 gm and provides 150 calories with very few amounts of carbohydrate and protein with negligible fat.

Apple “Find My” network Will Now Locate iOS 15 devices even if they’re off

by
Apple's 'Find My' network locates iOS 15 devices even if they are turned-off

World’s renowned technology brand Apple is coming forth with amazing and mindfulness features to facilitate its users and now has made changes to its tracking network “Find My”.

Apple’s WWDC 2021 briefing has ended but the changes made to “Find My” are explained in detail in one area of the iOS 15 Preview.

Aside from adding live-streamed locations of contacts who share their location with you, your iPhone or iPad is much easier to find if it’s lost or stolen in iOS 15. Even if it is erased, as long as Activation Lock is enabled, the device will still display your details on the Hello screen and alert users that this device can be tracked by its true owner.

According to Apple, the “Find My” function can now find devices even after they’ve been switched off. However, the preview page didn’t explain how this works, so it’s unclear whether you can expect one last ping from where the device was when it ran out of battery power, or if there will be some kind of low-power Bluetooth tracking that stays on even when your phone is turned off.

9to5Mac has a snapshot of the popup that pops when an iOS 15 device is running low on battery to inform owners about the new tracking features.

Separation alerts will inform you if you’ve left “a device, AirTag, or compatible third-party item behind,” while other enhancements will help you discover missing AirPods Pro or AirPods Max.

On the other hand, Apple has announced watchOS 8, which brings new Portraits to watch face, a new Mindfulness app, a sleeping respiratory rate tracker, new workout types and more. It is available to developers and will be made available to the general public this fall.

The new watchOS 8 brings redesigned Home app, which offers a better way to access accessories and scenes needed in a particular moment, and the ability to control accessories by room. Users can now also quickly broadcast a message throughout the home or to individual rooms via HomePod, HomePod mini, or other personal devices.
