Talking on the phone while eating,More sleep and drinking less water can lead to weight gain, let's know the formula to stay slim

Welcome to mbctalk,

There was a time when overweight people were considered the happiest people. One's home was known by how much ghee was added to the food. 

But now this time has passed. Obesity has become a disease in today's times and today many people are fighting against this disease and people also want to avoid it.

Nowadays, due to people's lifestyle and eating and drinking habits, people accumulate more fat than necessary, due to which after a while one after another body parts stop working and people start getting seriously ill.

According to an estimate, by the year 2016, 14 crore people in the country were struggling with the problem of obesity and overweight. 

This figure is increasing day by day. On the other hand, people cannot give up the comforting lifestyle and temptation of fast food. Due to this, the problem of obesity is getting worse. 

A habit that causes weight gain...

Getting more than 8 hours of sleep

Getting more than 8 hours of sleep is generally said to be the secret of good sleep. According to a research paper read in the 'World Congress of Cardiology', more sleep and longer life are directly related. Research has also found that those who sleep well and long can live 4.5 years longer than those who do not.

But this happens only when the sleep is 7 to 8 hours. Oversleeping can lead to weight gain and life becomes short and cumbersome instead of long.

According to a study, people who sleep more than 8-9 hours have a 25% higher risk of obesity.

Eating while watching mobile or TV

Nowadays, people consider lunch or dinner as free time. In this situation, they try to handle other work while eating. It has become common to watch mobile or TV while eating. But this habit can prove harmful in the long run. When we focus on something else while eating, we cannot chew the food properly. Less chewing leads to faster weight gain.

Drinking less water

Weight gain is common in people who drink less water. When water is drunk often in a day, hunger is reduced and overeating can be avoided. 

Staying hydrated also reduces cravings for fast food. This is the reason why experts advise drinking plenty of water to maintain weight. Drinking lukewarm water in the morning is also more beneficial.

Let's Know What Expert

Dieticians Says It is generally believed that eating fatty foods leads to obesity. It is true that fatty foods and drinks lead to weight gain, but it is not the only thing that causes weight gain.

Some of our daily habits also make us gain weight. To lose weight, one needs to avoid these habits along with avoiding fatty foods and drinks. 

Talking while eating or watching TV, sleeping more than 8-9 hours, drinking less water, and less physical activity are some of the habits that lead to rapid weight gain.

Can Headphone cause Health problems? Caution If You are Using Headphones- Earphones: Ear Disease May Occur, Heart And Blood Pressure Problems May Be Faced.

 Welcome to mbctalk,

            Listen to songs to refresh your mood during work or leisure time. So far so good but if you also listen to the song through headphones or earphones then be careful.

 If studies are to be believed, generally people use earphones for 3 to 4 hours throughout the day. But do you know that excessive use of earphones or headphones not only damages the ears but also reduces the ability to hear.

          According to E&T experts, people who use headphones and earphones for more than 60 minutes can suffer long-term damage, but if the volume is low, it can be used for more than an hour. So if you use headphones and earphones continuously, you can become a victim of diseases like headache, heart problems, and hearing problems.

.

Harmful to watch videos or listen to loud music

          If you are also in the habit of using headphones and earphones with high volume then it can prove to be harmful to your health. Earphones can emit up to 100 dB of noise, which is enough to damage your ears. 
According to doctors, listening to sounds above 85 dB for a long time can cause ear damage. On the other hand, sound less than 75 dB is considered best for our ears.

Possibility of ear infection

          Headphones and earphones cause heat in the ears which can increase the risk of ear infection many times due to the presence of bacteria. Keeping earphones on the ears for long periods of time puts pressure on the ear veins, causing the veins to swell. Its use causes vibration in the ear, which adversely affects the hearing cells. This is the reason why the use of headphones sometimes causes ear pain.

Chances of infection by using other people's headphones

          If you also have a habit of sharing your earphones with others, be careful. There is a risk of getting an infection in your ears due to using other people's earphones. If a friend's headphones or earphones have any harmful bacteria and viruses, they can harm your ears.

Listening to loud music can cause insomnia

          According to doctors, excessive use of earphones can also lead to problems like dizziness, insomnia, headache, and earache. Listening to loud music increases the heart rate, which increases blood pressure and also damages the heart.

New features that may change the use of whatsapp

Welcome to mbctalk,

WhatsApp is one of the most widely-used modes of instant messaging globally. The new features that the app gets every few weeks help in sustaining its popularity. While some of these features are incremental changes, some others change the way we use the app.

 These new features are first tested in beta mode. Here are  Some features spotted in WhatsApp beta that promise to change the way you use Whatsapp.

To keep your chats more secure

Already available for iPhone users, this feature was also seen in a testing phase for Android users on beta version 2.19.83. This feature will allow users to add a security layer to the app and will open only according to the settings you have selected. 

After enabling it, you can configure when the authentication feature should lock the app -- Immediately, After 1 minute, After 10 minutes, or after 30 minutes

Blocking the option of taking chat screenshots

In what can easily be called one of the biggest changes that are yet to come to WhatsApp, the instant messaging app will block users to take screenshots of chats, if they enable biometric authentication. This was spotted in WhatsApp beta version 2.19.106

To find out how frequently a message has been forwarded

WhatsApp is also said to be working on rolling out a feature that will tell users how frequently a message has been forwarded. 

Users will also be able to see how many times a message was forwarded in the 'Forwarding Info' tab. This was spotted in WhatsApp beta version 2.19.97.

Changing the way audio files are sent on WhatsApp

As seen in WhatsApp Beta version 2.19.89, this feature is said to allow users to play the audio files before sending it. Also, it will allow them to send 30 audio files at once.

Dark mode for better ‘visibility’

A much-awaited feature on WhatsApp, the dark mode was last seen in WhatsApp Beta version 2.19.87. This model has been seen on various windows of the instant messaging app including main settings, account settings, chats settings, notification settings, and data and storage usage settings

Using multiple apps for videos within WhatsApp

Also seen in the WhatsApp Android Beta version 2.19.86, this feature is claimed to allow users to watch videos from YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Streamable even if they switch chat without closing the video. 

Moreover, it will continue to play these videos even if you go to another app, just as long as WhatsApp is running in the background.

Opening links in Whatsapp set to become easier

WhatsApp is also said to working on launching an In-App Browser, which will open when the users will try to open a link. 

This browser is also said to be able to detect if the requested page is not safe to visit. This was seen in WhatsApp Android Beta version 2.19.74.

Stickers are also set to get better

Animated stickers that work sort of like GIFs have been spotted in WhatsApp. These stickers can be included in an existing stickers pack. This feature has allegedly been spotted in all three operating systems -- Android, iOS, and Web.

Hiding chats may become simpler

WhatsApp is said to be working on adding an option that will allow its users control of whether chats get unarchived when a new message arrives. Currently, when you archive a chat, WhatsApp automatically unarchives it once a new message arrives from that chat. This was spotted in WhatsApp Beta version 2.19.101.

Checking if an image sent is fake or real

Seen in WhatsApp Beta version 2.19.73, this feature is said to allow users to search for an image on the internet that you sent/received in your chats. 

In other words, users will be able to check whether any news or information related to that image is fake or real.

Future technology

Welcome to mbctalk,

  Here I am talking about future technology that will change the life of techno-savvy people.

Our brains may someday be able to directly connect to vast cloud-computing networks in real-time, allowing us to gain Matrix-style instant access to the world's knowledge by simply thinking about a specific topic, scientists claim.

According to research published in the journal Frontiers in Neuroscience, exponential progress in nanotechnology, nanomedicine, artificial intelligence (AI), and computation will lead this century to the development of a "Human Brain/Cloud Interface" (B/CI).

The B/CI concept was initially proposed by futurist-author-inventor Ray Kurzweil, who suggested that neural nanorobots could be used to connect the neocortex of the human brain to a "synthetic neocortex" in the cloud.

Our wrinkled neocortex is the smartest, 'conscious' part of the brain, according to the researchers from University of California, Berkeley, and the Institute for Molecular Manufacturing in the US.

Robert Freitas, the senior author of the research, proposed neural nanorobots would provide direct, real-time monitoring and control of signals to and from brain cells.

"These devices would navigate the human vasculature, cross the blood-brain barrier, and precisely auto position themselves among, or even within brain cells," Freitas said in a statement.
