Switch 2 is important for Nintendo, but also for a nvidia that does not want to lose ground against AMD

Nintendo Switch 2 It’s here. When a new generation of consoles arrives, beyond New games and experiences that allows, there is a substantive issue that may not interest all users so much, but it is of vital importance for the technology industry: Who signs the processor. We don’t know Switch 2’s heart beyond what the tests of their first games suggest. AND, Although it is evident that it is powerfulwe will have to wait to see how developers thoroughly squeeze their chip designed by NVIDIA and manufactured by Samsung. It is evident that the console is important for a Nintendo who saw that switch sales began to waverbut just as important for that NVIDIA that signs a processing unit with which, now, it comes back to the battle horse in the hybrid console segment. Nvidia returns to load When a company leads, what you want is to have even more part of the cake. Nvidia dominates The world of PC video games With iron hand and, although AMD is doing things well with its latest generations, the singing voice continues to take the company led by Jensen Huang. That battle against AMD on the PC is very unequal, but In the field of consoles, history tells us something else. Both were linked decades ago to video games on platforms dedicated with ATI (before being part of AMD) designing the GPU of Game Cube, Wii and Xbox 360 and Nvidia taking care of the GPU of the Original Xbox and of PS3. With the jump to the next generation, Nvidia got out of the equation and left the free ground for an AMD that did not succeed with her GPU, either with her CPU, but with her APU. It was his technology that convinced Sony and Microsoft for all their consoles from Xbox One and PS4 From now on. Nvidia, however, returned in 2017 with His tegra chip and a new alliance with Nintendo for Switch launch. It was not the most advanced at the time, that Tegra showed that the technology was ready To be able to create platforms that offered such experience with desktop power, but in portable format. And they have not gone wrong or Nintendo … neither Nvidia by extension. 152 million units and up. However, things have changed because Nvidia is no longer alone in this and AMD, along with Valve with Steam Deckshowed that its image reconstruction technology, Photograms generation and its power/consumption relationship could overcome what Nvidia offered with switch. Thus, we have seen AMD heart on PC consolidated as impressive as the Lenovo Legion Go or the Asus Rog Allyand it is a segment in which Intel, with a first failed proposal with the MSI Claw and a much more solid second with MSI Claw 8 AI+shows that you also have something to say. Nvidia has remained away from those PC consolidated for a reason: They didn’t have a CPU. Now, earlier this year, and after months of rumors, Nvidia presented Project Digits. It is a desktop computer for AI whose CPU is designed by NVIDIA: Graceof 20 cores, which although it is still ARM and arrived a few years ago, is now consolidated with digits as a blow to the table to a market that was dominated by Intel and AMD. Nvidia’s commitment is still far from the average user, and even further from the players, but although they are not possible to create processors that compete against Intel and the AMD Ryzen, on desktop PC, that renewed alliance with Nintendo to create Switch 2 can be, if sales accompany, the impulse that they lacked to finish deciding and being The third player in the battle of the PC consolidated. Your proposal? Beyond gross power, artificial intelligence nuclei for Push the hardware Beyond the possible until now. But of course, they would have to develop a X86 processor. Or that or throwing into the pool and marking an adventure with a valve that is already trying to stem Compatible with ARM. Although, of course, all this would be nothing if Nvidia, which money does not lack, would have signed an exclusive contract with Nintendo for this type of hardware. Whatever happens, Jensen Huang seems like engaged With Nintendo’s vision, and they may not end up getting into mud with Intel and AMD as the third company in discord, precisely, because with Switch 2 and their AI -based technology already have more than enough reasons to say an “EY, which in this segment we also have much to say at the power level”. After all, no matter how veteran the first switch was very obsolete that his heart was, I kept selling like hot bread Although the rest of hybrid systems offer much more as far as gross power is concerned.

The anger between Musk and Trump has made Tesla lose 100,000 million dollars. Is the least of his problems

Elon Musk and Donald Trump have staged for hours a breakdown of a bloody divorce. With accusations exchanged in which it has threatened to withdraw aid to electric cars, the Disassembly from the International Space Station And it has come to the fore to Epstein’s namethe afternoon has been moved in the United States. The clash has mobilized the entire Maga Movement In favor of each other (including the request of the Elon Musk deportation). And, in the middle of all, Tesla. 14%. Without a doubt, the afternoon figure in the United States. That is what The actions of Tesla came to fall Although, at the end of the day, there was a small rebound that left the action losing more than 11 % at the end of the day. Thus, the price of the action started the day exceeding $ 322 and closed it by $ 284.70. If the final rebound had not occurred, we were talking about the shareholder would have left another 10 dollars per share. However, it is estimated that Tesla has left some 100,000 million dollars Yesterday. On a personal level, Elon Musk has seen 34,000 million dollars volatilize with his discussion yesterday. Although we focus here on Tesla, we must not lose sight of the US government contracts with Starlink or Space X. The youngest of the problems. In total, it is estimated that Tesla has lost $ 100,000 million in the last fight between Trump and Musk. The dialectical crossing has caused a socavon in the graph of the actions but that is not the greatest of the problems. Now, with Trump as an enemy of Musk, Tesla has to row in a complicated scenario. The Robotaxi. It is the first indicated. Elon Musk announced that The first deployment of the robotaxi Tesla would take place in the city of Austin (Texas) whose mayor is from the Democratic Party But there are more derivatives that are intimately linked to the expansion of the service. However, The Governor of Texas is a republican And, in fact, the State is one of the bastions of the party. To this is added that NHTSSA is a state entity in charge of appraining the novelties that want to apply to circulate on the road. With their decisions, for example, it forces operators to have flyers and pedals In their cars, something that I wanted to eliminate Elon Musk in his robotaxis. The NHTSSA. The National Highway Traffic Security Administration (NHTSA) is also responsible for carrying out the accident investigations that occur when driving aid systems are active and has actively pursued the highway of Tesla. Its financing depends on the United States Congress and depends on the Department of Transportation that is directed from the Government. In addition to the previous investigations, it is the one who is approved so that a vehicle can work with a higher level of autonomy. For example, it is the one who rewarded Mercedes with the possibility of circular without the driver paying attention to what you have ahead. Yes indeed, In very specific circumstances. The aid. The withdrawal of the aid to the purchase of electric cars was something that, initially, did not seem to worry Elon Musk. Right now, the company’s leadership is so evident in the United States that they are the competitors of Tesla, who cannot offer the same autonomy-price relationship, Those who have to lose. However, it is clear that the withdrawal of aid can damage the sales of the company and Tesla is not in a position to leave sales right now. In Europe, Every month passing is a bleeding and In China its sales have also decreased To the point that Byd is already the brand that VWe are more purely electric cars In the Asian country. Regulatory credits. Another of the income roads that Tesla has been exploiting in recent years is the EMISSION CREDIT SALE. Donald Trump also showed his intention to prevent this type of practices that allow Tesla to draw income that since 2012 They have added 11,000 million dollars. When accountability before the institutions, companies have to meet emission objectives. If they exceed the maximum allowed figure, they can Buy emission bonds to companies that have not reached said limit. Thus, they lower their average emissions and avoid a strong fine. The beneficiary company receives the money from a competitor but although the number of emissions increases, of course, below the limit that marks the economic punishment. Goodbye to the Stock Exchange. Although it is not the biggest problem, the last six months have been a roller coaster of emotions for Tesla’s shareholders. At the end of 2024, the company closed the records in record, touching the $ 480 per share in mid -December last year. Since then, the controversial messages of Elon Musk, His Nazi greeting during the day Donald Trump took command of the United States or Your support for the AFD ultra -right party in Germany caused a sudden fallen that made us clear to what extent the image of Musk viciaba the stock market of the actions of Tesla. Little by little, the rumors of his departure from the United States government were already consolidating from mid -May, the shares consolidated the rise that had already begun in April. On May 7 the shares were worth $ 276. The confirmation that Musk focused on Tesla He lifted its price up to $ 363. In a few hours the entire climb has eaten. And what is expected. In addition to the obstacles that the United States government can put to the expansion of robotaxis, the elimination of regulatory aid and credits, it remains to be seen how the shareholders will receive divorce between Musk and Trump. Tesla is not going through her best moment. Its sales have collapsed in Europe And in China the rivals have been eating ground for a long time. It remains to be seen if the arrival of the Tesla Model … Read more

The fight between “giants” causes Tesla to collapse and lose 100,000 million in a few hours

The good relationship that Donald Trump and Elon Musk exhibited for months has deteriorated significantly in recent days. Although the businessman seemed to leave his position in the Doge (Department of Government Efficient) in good terms, With a farewell from the Oval Officetensions have not stopped increasing. So much so that on Thursday the president of the United States was “very disappointed” by the criticisms of the CEO of Tesla to the fiscal bill that promotes its administration. The owner of X (formerly Twitter) responded in several publications that, without his support, Trump “would have lost the elections.” The dispute rose when Trump said that “the easiest way to save billions of dollars” of the federal budget is canceling the subsidies and government contracts that benefit Musk companies. According to The New York Timesonly in 2024 the companies linked to the tycoon accumulated about 100 contracts with about 17 federal agencies. Most were for Spacex, but Tesla also is among the beneficiaries. In total, there were about 3,000 million dollars. Trump even affirmed that he had asked Musk to leave his post in the government, an affirmation that the businessman strongly denied in X: “What a lie so obvious. How sad.” The climb coincides with a delicate front for Tesla. The fiscal policies promoted by the Trump administration could be a coup of 1.2 billion dollars to the annual benefit of Tesla, according to JPMorgan (Via Bloomberg), by largely eliminating the fiscal credit of 7,500 dollars for electric vehicles. On Thursday, the stock market effects were demolving. Tesla fell up to 18 % in its worst day since September 2020. At the close, the collapse was 14.26 %. Only on that day, he lost more than 100,000 million dollars of stock market capitalization, erasing a good part of the rebound he had achieved in recent weeks.

If “Fast Walk” serves for yourself to lose weight

Is it possible to lose weight walking? It is a recurring question and is logical. After all, physical activity facilitates the consumption of calories that our body stores as fat. But it also turns out to be a form of Exercise available to almost everyonesomething important if we take into account that constancy is usually key when we talk about thinning. However, the answer to this question is somewhat more complex than it might seem. Yeah, walk It is a good way to burn calories, and much more: it is also an exercise that provides benefits to our cardiorespiratory and muscular health, and also helps prevent the appearance of diabetes, among other varied effects. That is why it is usually remembered from time to time that, although walking it can be very useful, it may not be the exercise that best suits our plans, and could be seen more as a complement that as the main resource to which we stick to. Now, let’s investigate why. As experts remember, exercise is not always the best strategy if what we are looking for is to reduce our body mass. “For weight loss, The diet seems to be more effective that physical activity “ Donald Hensrud explainsof the Healthy Life program of the Mayo Clinic. Rather, it is usually considered that, in general, the exercise is more effective when maintaining the weight; While if we want to lose weight, control our diet is usually considered a more effective strategy. Of course this does not mean that we should forget this part, even if only for The positive impact That an active life has in our health. The problem is that we tend to Overbear the impact of exercise and physical activity in general in the caloric consumption that our body performs. Alternatively, we can express it in a different way: we tend to underestimate (or directly to ignore) the enormous caloric consumption that our body performs only by being, to keep ourselves alive throughout our day to day. Some estimates place the relative weight of physical exercise Between 10% and 30% of caloric consumption. Imagine a situation in which physical exercise represents 20% of the calorie expenditure that our body performs. This implies that if we folded the exercise we do (100% more activity), we would only increase the caloric consumption of our body by 20%. Combine strategies Leaving weight loss in the hands of a simple strategy is not usually recommended. Constancy is important and use the Exercise as a complement To the diet when we want to lose weight, it can be helpful in various ways. First and perhaps more important, for being a healthy habit to incorporate in our day to day. Secondly, exercise can make changes in the diet more, “distributing” the effort we put to change towards healthier habits. Since constancy is important, a small help never hurts. Third, the exercise, we pointed out before, is a good way to keep us in our weight. The sooner we get the habit, the better. Walking can help us with these three purposes, so it is a perfect complement if we want to lose weight and want to do it in a healthier way. It is a good complement but is it the best? Walking has the advantage of helping us build Routines without great efforts and minimizing the risk of abandonment; But if what we want is to increase the caloric consumption of our body, for example to be able to resort to less strict diets, there are alternatives that perhaps better adapt to our needs. Finally, it is never worth remembering that each body is different, even our own body changes over the years. Formulas and weight losing recipes are not universal, so it is always useful (when not absolutely necessary) consult with experts who can guide us in the process.

There are those who are adding fungi such as cordyceps to coffee to lose weight. Science has many reservations

Coffee is a food, with numerous positive effects on our body. We get more and more about this Positive coffee actionbut we have determined to improve it adding supplements as proteins either Spirulina. One of the latest trends? Enrich coffee with fungi. So that? To lose weight. And here the evidence is not so clear that this trend of ‘Mushroom Coffee’ is so healthy that invites a coffee with cordyceps to drink. The promise. Eating mushrooms or fungi has nothing weird, but a few years ago we began to see how the food industry It began to add them to other foods to create improved versions of them. One of the first brands that added fungi to the cocoa or coffee was FOUR SIGMICan American company that creates “functional foods” and well -being supplements. That is, coffee is not only coffee: it has a series of additions vegetables to relieve these, support the immune system or accelerate weight loss. The latter is what a more recent grabs Trend in networks like Tiktokthe baptized as ‘Mushroom Coffee’. There are several brands that sell coffee with fungi Cordyceps coffee. The defenders claim that coffee (and other foods) can be enhanced with medicinal fungi whose compounds carry a series of positive effects. Among those fungi are Reishithe León hairhe Maitake or the Shiitake (great in broths)but also the most famous cordyceps. Yes, that parasitic fungus that makes Some ants become ‘zombies‘And what is protagonist of the Apocalypse of ‘The Last of Us’. These fungi can increase energy production and improve metabolic function, helping in the burning of fats. They can also help control hunger, stabilize glucose levels and have Probiotic properties that favor both digestion and nutrient absorption. Market. And it is not a bizarre or the US thing: you can Buy coffee With cordyceps In Amazon If you want the healthy effects of coffee more, Chow they announcegreater energy and improvement in your mental clarity. There are different estimates, but this coffee market is expected to grow at a rate of between 5.4% and 5.7% during the next decade. There are studies that place their value at 1,203.4 million dollars in 2023 with a growth up to 1,833.4 million by 2031. They are considerable figures, but we compare, the estimate of specialty coffee is 62,500 million by 2032 and that of the entire market It will be of 632,000 million for that year. But well, it seems that this trend, little by little, is consolidated and grows. The small print. The logic here seems simple. In the case of protein: if it is a good supplement and coffee is a good food, mixing them works. With fungi and coffee the same thing happens, but something that should not be overlooked: there is a lack of research. The relationship between coffee and weight loss is well documented, being a good stimulating before performing some training and selling the caffeine as supplement. But, although the properties of these fungi are also documented, evidence on coffee with fungi and its action in weight loss or mental well -being is limited. Clinical trials are missing that confirm its direct effectiveness to lose weight and most of those available studies are in animals. Also, as we read in VogueNutritionist Marta Marcè comments that it is not usually specified whether the extract is from the fruiting body (rich in properties) or the roots (less powerful), in addition to using very low doses. And sometimes It is not even the real fungus. Dangers. Although cordyceps has a bad reputation due to fiction products in which it has been the protagonist and its effect on some insectsusually has no health hazards. Cordyceps coffee is approved by the USDA -The United States Department of Agriculture-, but you have to take some things into account. It may produce some allergies in certain people and it is necessary Influence when combining it With other stimulating products or drugs, but most importantly, above all, it is to know where those fungi that supplement chocolate or cocoa. Marketing, already such Because here the danger is how that fungus has been manipulated and the example we have had in Colombia, where a health alert on cordyceps supplements not regulated or fraudulent. And if you dare to try it, be from reliable and out of curiosity, not so much for its numerous promises, that millions move in the other part of the world.

lose up to 60% of air traffic

They threatened and fulfilled. Ryanair has left or reduced its operations in seven Spanish cities, leaving semi -vaiors some airports in our country or, directly, eliminating more than half of the routes that came out from them. Now, the exit and without a company that occupies the hole left by the Low Cost Irish, we already know the impact. I set up. They announced it in January of this year. Ryanair made his bags and sought routes, in his opinion, more profitable than the Spanish. In total, 800,000 places less this summer, the closure of its activity in two Spanish cities and a reduction of its operations in five other cities. Specifically, 12 routes that suppose 18% of the company’s activity in our country. Jerez and Valladolid have fired Of the flights offered by the company and in Vigo, Santiago, Zaragoza, Asturias and Santander the operations between 5% (Santander) and 61% (Vigo) have been reduced. The reasons. “Despite the decision of the Spanish government in 2021 to freeze rates at airports until 2026, Aena has tried to increase rates every year and more accentuated in Spanish regional airports, where traffic is maintained below the levels prior to the Covid crisis,” with these words Ryanair explained its march. The decision also described it as “completely avoidable” and stressed that it would be “devastating for regional connectivity, employment and tourism in Spain.” That is, Ryanair directly pointed to the government and Aena rates that are charged for the maintenance of airports. The reasons? Despite Ryanair’s explanations, other reasons float in the air. The most obvious is that Fine of 107.78 million euros that the government has applied to Ryanair for its regulations regarding hand luggage has been decisive in the succession of events. The company’s own CEO, Michael O’Leary, He came to qualify as “clown” To the Minister of Consumption, Pablo Bustinduy. That fine is controversial because For consumption there is no doubt that a cabin suitcase is “essential” to travel. Ryanair defends himself saying that European regulations do not clearly specify what the measures of the “essential” bulk that must be embarked should be. Therefore, they ensure that the government is financially punishing the company for no reason. And justice does not end up being clear. Even in Spain, Ryanair has received favorable and opposite sentences in litigation related to the hand suitcase and the collection of it when it comes to what is popularly known as a cabin troley. Aena’s rates, therefore, seem only the excuse to break the routes. Its impact. In his march, Ryanair knew where he could hurt. He has left behind airports with very little activity, which means the closure of many routes that had the foreigner. Now, many citizens have to travel to Madrid, Barcelona and other large cities to take flights outside Spain. The most affected airport is Valladolid, where 63.2% of its passengers have vanished, according to data collected by Aena. It is the most affected city of the previous list. Together added 779,226 passengers in April, for the 871,070 passengers of the same month of last year. And that specifies in the economic environment, which Holy Week has been held in that period, which adds extra passengers (last year it was held in March). In total, 92,000 passengers have been lost in the sum of all airports and, according to Expansion75% of these operations correspond to trips offered by Ryanair. Zaragoza grows. Of the cities where Ryanair has reduced its operations, only Zaragoza manages to grow Regarding the month of April 2024. Its traffic grew by 13.6% despite the fact that the company had announced the withdrawal of 20% of the operations on the soil. Contrast with any other city that has reduced its operations to a greater or lesser extent. Jerez has lost 25% of passengers and Santiago 16.8%. In Santander, the decrease in passengers has been minimal with a 0.3% fall and in Asturias it has been contained in 1.7% decrease. In spite of everything, the average in reducing operations has been 10%. And in the future? Who knows. Because Ryanair continues to tension the rope And only a few weeks ago that he threatened to continue withdrawing routes if from Aena they do not yield to his demands regarding airport rates. A declaration of intentions of which Aena defends himself ensuring that these are very low in regional airports, almost testimonial. The truth is that Ryanair has operated, Also in Spainwith regional aid disguised as advertising campaigns which has allowed him to hold routes that were not filled. In his march he has applied that same strategy On routes that, for example, have Morocco as destination And in which nobody is traveling.

Japan has made an airport not lose a suitcase in 30 years. Now you have to achieve another milestone: that it does not sink

Now that that moment of the year is approaching where millions of travelers prepare to face the flights that will take them to the long -awaited holidays, an airport room is also ready for the arrival of one of those evils assumed as part of the package: the lost or lost suitcases. Although there is an exception. In Japan an airport has erected as the most efficient of the planet. They have been three decades Without losing luggage. His problem is another, and is underground. 30 years without a complaint. As we said, in a sector where loss is almost evil assumed by travelers, the Kansai International Airportin Japan, it offers an amazing anomaly: in its three decades of operationhas never lost a suitcase, a baby cart, a couple of skis or a single bag. The feat, which its employees describe with modesty as a simple consequence of following the rules, has made Kansai a reference of silent efficiency. Serving the regions of Osaka and Kyoto, and with 30 million passengers International a year, its record cannot be attributed to a low volume of traffic. What distinguishes it is meticulous attention to detail: from aligning the handles of the suitcases to facilitate their collection until they personally deliver fragile or bulky objects directly in the hands of the passenger. In Xataka Nobody wants to spend three hours on a Saturday. And that’s why hypermarkets go down Operational discipline. Had in Japan Times Tsuyoshi Habuta, supervisor of one of the luggage manipulation companies in Kansai, which behind there is no special training or secret systems. According to him, merit lies in Comply with established processes And act carefully: each suitcase is treated as something valuable, not only for its content, but for what it represents for the passenger. Your team manages some 3,000 pieces a dayand the manipulation procedure of is a ballet Synchronized revisions and cross controls. Each piece is counted not only at the time of check-in, but also during and after the flight. The workers inspect that the number of packaged packages coincide exactly with those downloaded, both in the airplane warehouse and in the safety control rooms. If something does not block, the search begins immediately. The rule of the quarter hour. Plus: There is a tacit rule. Deliver all luggage in the collection zone in less than fifteen minutes From landing is a priority. This system is what has made the airport a world reference of efficiency, being awarded eight times with international awards for its excellence in the delivery of luggage. Airport Aerial View Omotenashi philosophy. Behind this impeccable history is also the Japanese concept of omotenashior hospitality as art. According to testimonies of the workers themselves collected by NPRcommitment is not only with logistics efficiency, but with the happiness of the passenger. For them, excellence is not an objective achieved but a constant improvement, fueled by the humility of learning every day and the responsibility of representing Japanese quality to the world. This collective attitude generates an organizational culture where The error is not allowednot for fear of punishment, but for professional pride. Wonder of engineering. The airport, opened in 1994, is built entirely About an artificial island In Osaka Bay and remains one of the infrastructure projects more ambitious and expensive Never performed. Conceived to relieve the saturation of the Osaka airport, Kansai has evolved to become the third busiest airport from Japan. Its initial construction cost around 14,000 million dollars, but with expansions and adjustments it has reached an estimated value of 20,000 million in 2008figure that, adjusted to current inflation, could double. Endowed with characteristics such as flexible asphalt tracks capable of resisting earthquakes and a high structure on 900 hydraulic cats that allow leveling the terminal as the ground sits, the airport has even resisted the devastating Kobe earthquake 1995 without compromising its operation. Osaka Bay Marine bed The problem: it sinks. It We count a while ago. Despite all his technological advances, Kansai faces a persistent and increasingly worrying threat: It is sinking. Since its inauguration, the airport has already descended about 11.5 meters And it is expected that another additional four meters could descend before 2056, approaching dangerously to the sea level. This situation is due to the fact that it was built on land earned to the sea, a highly compressible alluvial clay base that, under the weight of the artificial island, releases water and contracts, causing the progressive sinking of the soil. Although engineers have tried to accelerate land consolidation through “sand drains” (deep holes stuffed with sand to evacuate moisture), the settlement was not completed before starting construction, and the effects continue to accumulate over time. {“Videid”: “X8ST3IM”, “Autoplay”: False, “Title”: “Japan ride generated with Sora”, “Tag”: “”, “Duration”: “17”} Fight against the sea. In 2018, a powerful typhoon flooded one of the slopesconfirming that the problem is not theoretical or distant. In response, the containment dike rose in 2.7 meters To prevent future floods, but experts agree that these measures are palliative and will not be enough in the long term without a large -scale intervention. Yes, the airport is designed to adjust structurally and adapt to the movements of the land, but the geological environment itself (that species of “wet sponge” of loose clay) represents a continuous and silent threat. Every centimeter that descends more compromises its future viability, and although for now it remains an example of advanced engineering, the countdown to its physical obsolescence has already begun. In Espinof I’ve seen ‘Rogue One’ after finishing ‘Andor’. I still have the impression that they are two half films forced to meet Monument with expiration date. In summary, Kansai is a fascinating paradox: a symbol of what human engineering can achieve and a reminder of the limits that imposes nature. While continuing to operate effectively recognized worldwide (With its unmatched record of delivery of luggage without losses), its future survival asshole a complex equation between technology, resources and political decisions.

Obssing with losing weight is a very bad idea to lose weight. Luckily, science has many more effective

A young doctor appears before his boss and, although he does not say it out loud, he thinks “the last time I was in front of him, I swept at least a liter. But now I’m going to sweat at least ten, that guy will find out what is to sweat!” Then, do not sweat a drop. It is not fiction, it is A real case collected by psychiatrist Viktor Frankl In 1994. He did to explain that many times our fears, objectives and intentions play against us. And yes, we are talking about losing weight. Against us? It’s as if, for using A metaphor of another psychologists (Steven C. Hayes)“We fell into a deep hole and the only thing we had to go out was with a shovel. As we don’t know very well what to do and we despair, we started using the shovel.” The result, despite working day and night, is that we are deeper than before. What in the background tells us a good number of psychologists (from Logotherapists to Specialists in acceptance and commitment) is that we are so culturally attached to certain behavioral strategies that, although they are not useful, we cannot get rid of them. The obsession with “losing weight” is a problem. And yes, obsession is the word. In Spain, where 52% of the adult population presents overweight or obesity, seven out of ten people (72%) They have tried to lose weight at least once in their life. In fact, According to the Mapfre Foundation datathey have done it, on average, about seven times. That leads to “53% of Spaniards has ever followed a popular or miracle diet with the aim of losing weight.” It is not an accident; It is the consequence of what I commented: in the popular imaginary, the way of losing weight is that. That is to say, In words Giuseppe Russolillopresident of the Spanish Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, “the population is not fully aware that the methods that use weight losing are extremes and can put their health at risk and that the recovery of the lost weight is frequent.” And what can we do? The first is to banish false myths. Sï, obesity is a health problem; but Not so clear that overweight is in general terms. “The life expectancy of people overweight is not less than that of Normopeso”, He told us Juan Ramón BarradaProfessor at the University of Zaragoza. Many ideas that we have above all this and that we use to justify our behaviors, are still disciplinary stories. That does not mean that health is not important. It means that many of those ideas about overweight, health and beauty are cultural strategies equivalent to getting to cabin being inside a well. So? There are no scientific knowledge that can help us? “From what we can extract from current investigations, there are three tips that can be given to anyone: Eat healthyexercise and Accept your body. Today, everything is reduced to weight loss, “he continued Barrada. Therefore, “we must be clear that stigmatizing people overweight or obesity such as ‘vague’ or ‘lack of will’ is to promote suffering” unjustified. And do it with ourselves too. Luckily, as Barrada pointed out, there is another way of doing things. Image | I Yunmai In Xataka | The scientific reason why miracle diets do not work is

Ozempic has made thousands of people lose weight brutally. Then they have put their closet funds for sale

Novo Nordisk, the Ozempic manufacturer, has just presented the results of the first quarter and the data are impressive: we talk about 3,891 million euros, 14% more than last year. And, of course, that He has shot the price of the company. The most interesting, however, is why. And the answer is very simple: the treatments against obesity have risen 67%. It is what allows us to intuit that the Ozempic revolution (and the rest of the GLP-1 agonists go far beyond what we might think. So much so that he is putting up legs The second -hand market.
