WEIGH HEY I'm a dietitian - here's 4 physical signs
you need to eat MORE carbs
(1º§) Many trendy weight loss diets encourage cutting out
carbs, claiming it's the secret to dropping pounds. Both
the keto and Atkins diet say to instead focus ___ eating
protein and fats.
(2º§) As the body has less carbs to use for energy, it
burns body fat instead. But a dietician would say this is
the wrong way to approach healthy eating, and
potentially dangerous.
(3º§) The body turns to stored fat when there is a lack of
carbohydrate, but it also eats away at protein tissue such
as in the heart or muscle, The Britician Association of UK
Dieticians says.
(4º§) Each food group - carbs, proteins and fats - is
important for physical health. Carbs provide fibre to keep
bowels moving and prevent disease. They fuel the brain
and body. Without carbs, you may get a headache,
constipation, bad breath or nausea. Starchy foods, the
main source of carbs, should make up a third ___ your
daily diet, the NHS says.
(5º§) The BDA says: "We get energy from carbohydrates,
protein, fat and alcohol in our diet. "Any extra
(unneeded) energy we take in will be converted to fat no
matter what the source. "Sometimes people think
starchy foods are fattening however, the same amount
(in weight) of carbohydrate contains less than half the
calories of fat. "Studies have also shown carbohydrates
are better at satisfying our hunger."
(6º§) Nichola Ludlam-Raine, a registered dietitian, told
Insider there is "no good reason to remove carbs from
your diet". She said: "Low-carb diets have been popular
for a number of years, even decades now, but reducing
your carbohydrate intake can come with a cost."
(7º§) Here are four signs you need to up your carb intake:
Carbs are the body's main source of fuel, so if you
reduce your carb intake significantly, you'll likely notice a
depletion of your energy levels, too, Ludlam-Raine said.
"Our body can use other sources of fuel (such as fat),
although carbohydrates are able to provide a more rapid
source of energy to enable us to function optimally, both
cognitively and physically," she said.
(8º§) The primary source of energy in the brain is
glucose, which comes from eating delicious carbs. It can
rely on other stores, such as ketones. On the keto diet,
the body turns fat into ketones in the liver, which can
supply the brain. But this isn't a sustainable source of
brain power, said Ludlam-Raine. Symptoms of brain fog
can include moodiness, irritability and difficulty
concentrating.
(9º§) Ludlam-Raine said: "Consuming carbs alongside
protein helps to support the production of tryptophan,
which is then converted into serotonin, also known as the happy hormone." Ludlam-Raine said the body stores
carbohydrates as glycogen ___ the liver and muscles.
Glycogen is the main source of energy when you do
exercise, and when it's depleted, you feel fatigued. It's no
wonder that on a low carb diet, you can feel too tired to
go to the gym - which isn't beneficial for overall health.
(10º§) Mikle Molloy, a sports-nutrition coach, said in a
worst case scenario of "exercise flu" you'll feel out of it,
with a headache and muscle aches, and just want to lie
on the ground. Carbs aren't just needed pre-workout, but
post-workout too.
(11º§) Once the glycogen stores hit rock bottom, they
need replenishing, Ludlam-Raine said. "It's
recommended to consume carbohydrates alongside
protein to support recovery and enable you to feel at your
best before your next workout," she said.
(12º§) Feeling achy, sluggish or low in energy when you
go to the gym may signal poor recovery. Some carbs are
healthier options than others. Potato is best when baked,
mashed or boiled as opposed to fried.
(13º§) We all know brown bread is better for us than
white - but do you know why? Wholegrain, wholemeal
and brown breads are more fibrous and contain B
vitamins, vitamin E, fibre and a wide range of minerals.
(14º§) The same goes for pasta - try and eat wholewheat
or whole grain options. Grains, such as couscous,
oatmeal, brown rice and barley, are also important
sources of starchy carbohydrates. Fruit and vegetables
also contain carbohydrates. Ludlam-Raine recommended
getting your carbs mostly from whole grains (such as
brown bread and pasta), fruits, and vegetables.

Cryptography is the process of hiding or coding information so that only the person a message was intended for can read it. The art of cryptography has been used to code messages for thousands of years and continues to be used in bank cards, computer passwords, and ecommerce. Modern cryptography techniques include algorithms and ciphers that enable the encryption and decryption of information, such as 128‑bit and 256‑bit encryption keys. Modern ciphers, such as the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), are considered virtually unbreakable.
A common cryptography definition is the practice of coding information to ensure only the person that a message was written for can read and process the information. This cybersecurity practice, also known as cryptology, combines various disciplines like computer science, engineering, and mathematics to create complex codes that hide the true meaning of a message. Cryptography can be traced all the way back to ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics but remains vital to securing communication and information in transit and preventing it from being read by untrusted parties. It uses algorithms and mathematical concepts to transform messages into difficult‑to‑decipher codes through techniques like cryptographic keys and digital signing to protect data privacy, credit card transactions, email, and web browsing.
Cryptography remains important to protecting data and users, ensuring confidentiality, and preventing cyber criminals from intercepting sensitive corporate information. Individuals and organizations use cryptography on a daily basis to protect their privacy and keep their conversations and data confidential. The technique ensures confidentiality by encrypting sent messages using an algorithm with a key only known to the sender and recipient. A common example of this is the messaging tool WhatsApp, which encrypts conversations between people to ensure they cannot be hacked or intercepted. It also secures browsing, such as with virtual private networks (VPNs), which use encrypted tunnels, asymmetric encryption, and public and private shared keys.
Similar to how cryptography can confirm the authenticity of a message, it can also prove the integrity of the information being sent and received. The technology also ensures information is not altered while in storage or during transit between the sender and the intended recipient. For example, digital signatures can detect forgery or tampering in software distribution and financial transactions.Cryptography confirms accountability and responsibility from the sender of a message, which means they cannot later deny their intentions when they created or transmitted information. Digital signatures are a good example of this, as they ensure a sender cannot claim a message, contract, or document they created to be fraudulent. Furthermore, in email nonrepudiation, email tracking makes sure the sender cannot deny sending a message and a recipient cannot deny receiving it.
There are many types of cryptographic algorithms available. They vary in complexity and security, depending on the type of communication and the sensitivity of the information being shared.

as paths and routes. The lines forged into myriad figures
of animals and plants straddle an area of 1,000 square
kilometers of the immense Ica desert in southern Peru.
They were created during the Nazca culture, a
pre-Columbian archaeological culture that flourished
between the 1st and 7th centuries BC. A research team
led by Masato Sakai, of the University of Yamagata in
western Japan, has discovered, with the help of local
archaeologists, aerial images and drones, over 350 new
etchings since 2004. Sakai says there are two types of
geoglyphs, linear motifs that were created by removing
the upper black stones to reveal the white earth
underneath and raised lines that give the pictorial
representations depth and that archeologists call relief
lines. «The linear ones exist at the beginning and end of
straight paths and can be used to travel from one valley
to another (...) while the relief ones are on the sides of
paths that are not straight and are usually etched on a
slope,» the expert says. The meaning of the lines has
long been up for debate. Some say they represented an
astronomical calendar, others considered they were
religious figures and some have even suggested that
they serve as landing pads for UFOs. «I'm interested in
letters,» Sakai says. «Everyone uses alphabets, but in
Andean civilization, they didn't have that way of
communicating, so I wanted to discover how they did
(communicate).»
The researcher is convinced that the Nazca lines were
used as a means of prehistoric communication
Despite their antiquity, the geoglyphs were not
discovered until 1930 because these could only be
appreciated with an aerial view or from some of the site's
surrounding hills. The team of Japanese researchers
started the project using satellite and aerial photos, and
more recently using drones, and have now identified
hundreds of figures, including a spider, a monkey, a
hummingbird, a condor, a pelican, a gull, a snail, a whale,
a snake and a llama. The team struck a deal with tech
giant IBM in 2019 and have tapped into state-of-the-art
artificial intelligence (AI) that could help reveal the
location of more figures and help with deciphering their
meaning. «It is always a hypothesis, but we hope that
with AI we can check whether theories are correct or
suggest better ones that coincide with the new data,» the
expert adds. Finding all the figures, which according to
the expert could be in the thousands, is key to their
conservation from both the weather and mining and
agriculture which is prevalent in the region. «For the
people of Nazca, the geoglyphs are a source of pride because the city is not very big, but many people come to
see the figures. When we find new ones, we share the
information with the local people because we know that
they will respect and defend them, because it is the work

the upper black stones to reveal the white earth
underneath and raised lines that give the pictorial

lines. «The linear ones exist at the beginning and end of
straight paths and can be used to travel from one valley

paths that are not straight and are usually etched on a
slope,» the expert says. The meaning of the lines has
long been up for debate. Some say they represented an
astronomical calendar, others considered they were
religious figures and some have even suggested that
they serve as landing pads for UFOs. «I'm interested in
letters,» Sakai says. «Everyone uses alphabets, but in
Andean civilization, they didn't have that way of

hundreds of figures, including a spider, a monkey, a

the expert could be in the thousands, is key to their

Peru's Nazca lines were paths for prehistoric culture:
Japanese researchers
Tokyo, 16 Jan (EFE).- The mysteries shrouding Peru's
Nazca Lines have intrigued scientists for decades. Now,
a group of Japanese researchers has developed a new
theory that the geoglyphs etched into the ground served
as paths and routes. The lines forged into myriad figures
of animals and plants straddle an area of 1,000 square
kilometers of the immense Ica desert in southern Peru.
They were created during the Nazca culture, a
pre-Columbian archaeological culture that flourished
between the 1st and 7th centuries BC. A research team
led by Masato Sakai, of the University of Yamagata in
western Japan, has discovered, with the help of local
archaeologists, aerial images and drones, over 350 new
etchings since 2004. Sakai says there are two types of
geoglyphs, linear motifs that were created by removing
the upper black stones to reveal the white earth
underneath and raised lines that give the pictorial
representations depth and that archeologists call relief
lines. «The linear ones exist at the beginning and end of
straight paths and can be used to travel from one valley
to another (...) while the relief ones are on the sides of
paths that are not straight and are usually etched on a
slope,» the expert says. The meaning of the lines has

Here's why Friday the 13th scares us
Jane Risen, a behavioral scientist at the University
of Chicago Booth School of Business, has found that
superstitions can influence even nonbelievers. In one 2016
study, Risen found that people who identify as superstitious
and non-superstitious both believe a bad outcome is more
likely when they've been jinxed. For example, they worry
that stating they definitely won't get into a car accident will
make it more likely to happen.
“Generally speaking, I find that this occurs because
the bad outcome springs to mind and is imagined more
clearly following the jinx,” she explains. “People use the ease
of imagining something as a cue to its likelihood.”
_____________, Risen's research also suggests that
performing rituals that ward off bad luck can have surprising
results. In a 2014 study, she found that some people use
them even when they don't actively believe, and when
tested, both types of people reported benefits from such
acts.
It's difficult to pin down the origins and evolution of
a superstition. But Stuart Vyse, an author and former
_____________ of psychology at Connecticut College in New
London, told National Geographic in 2014 that our fear of
Friday the 13th may be rooted in religious beliefs
surrounding the 13th guest at the Last Supper—Judas, the
apostle said to have betrayed Jesus—and the
______________ of Jesus on a Friday, which was known as
hangman's day. The combination of those factors produced
a "sort of double whammy of 13 falling on an already
nervous day," Vyse explained.
