If you are middle-aged and have been slowly but steadily gaining weight for years, you probably attribute it to an age-related decrease in metabolism. Metabolic rate is the rate at which the body burns calories to stay alive and functioning. It's a generally accepted belief that as we age, resting metabolism slows down, especially in our 40s and beyond. And if you're a woman in menopause, your metabolism slows even more. But this is not true, according to a new paper published in Science. Analyzing data from nearly 6,500 people ranging in age from childhood to old age, the paper's authors determined that resting metabolism remains stable between the ages of 20 and 60, and thereafter registers a decline of less than 1% per year. Moreover, contrary to conventional wisdom, the paper cites no real differences between the resting metabolic rates of men and women, even for menopausal women, when other factors are controlled for. You may be wondering then why you feel your metabolism has slowed down. The answer has less to do with age. It's more to do with lifestyle. While your baseline resting metabolic rate may not have changed between your 20s and 60s, the factors that drive other aspects of your metabolism, when not at rest, have likely changed, decreasing your ability to metabolize fat, maximize calorie burn from exercise, increase energy-burning muscle mass, and get quality rest to enable metabolic processes. Don't worry, this is not bad news. It actually means you have the power to make changes that will boost your metabolism, regardless of your age. Read on for four science-backed ways to boost your metabolism. -Stay active throughout the day. -Get the right kind of exercise -Fill your body with protein and water. -Rest as needed https://www.ahora.com.pe/lo-que-ralentiza-tu-metabolismo-la-respuesta-tiene-menos-que-ver-con-la-edad-y-mas-con-el-estilo-de-vida/

Sunak pledges £1 billion support for Covid-affected companies The UK tech sector enjoyed a record year with startups attracting more capital than ever before. In what was its best year since 2014, startups and emerging companies raised around £24.4 billion, according to figures released by the government's Digital Economy Council. That's more than double the amount raised the previous year, and keeps pace with what many had predicted would be a period of accelerated digitization due to the coronavirus pandemic. Venture capital has flooded online platforms such as car seller Motorway and second-hand clothing site Depop, as well as banking challenger Starling Bank, all raising money that pushed them north of a $1 billion (£740 million) valuation, which helped them to achieve so-called unicorn status. However, the U.S. still leads the market for tech startups: in the first week of December 2021, Apple's market capitalization approached $3 trillion (£2.2 billion), more than the entire German stock market that day. But, as Wolfgang Münchau, a German political analyst writing in Euro Intelligence, pointed out, Europe is now catching up with the Americans. The continent now has its own promising corner of small business start-ups to rival America's Silicon Valley "for the first time".

But, as Müchau wrote: "This is primarily a UK story." Germany and France are considerably behind the UK in terms of cumulative investment, around $45 billion and $50 billion (£33 billion; £37 billion) lower respectively. The boom appears to reflect the north-south divide in Europe, with Spain hanging on by a thread and Italy not even in the top ten of the list. Mr. Münchau said, "So this is not an EU phenomenon, and certainly not a Eurozone phenomenon, but a British and Northern European one. "There are tons more statistics in [Atomico's] report, about the largest venture capital [venture capital] deals, the largest venture capital exits and many more. "In venture capital industry jargon, venture capital startups valued at $1 billion [£740million] or more are called unicorns."

One in five of Europe's unicorns are in the fintech (financial technology) sector, which explains the prominence of the UK, especially London, as a favored location. Münchau said he believes the next "big sector to attract investment" will be crypto-finance. He wrote: "This will also be, first and foremost, a UK story." While Britain has enjoyed preliminary findings that show it as a growing startup powerhouse, last year's data could be cause for concern. https://www.ezanime.net/brexit-gran-bretana-se-adelanta-a-la-ue-en-la-creacion-de-empresas-de-alta-tecnologia-es-una-historia-del-reino-unido-politica-noticias/

A woman and a man were convicted of animal abuse after causing the death of two dogs in June 2020 and April 2021. The two must pay sentences of six months in prison, inability to keep animals for the same period of time and a fine of 2.5 minimum wages, informed the Attorney General's Office. The first case of animal abuse was discovered on June 8, 2020, in Garagoa, Boyacá, where a dog was found tied by the neck to a stick in a high degree of malnutrition. The animal was rescued, but due to the seriousness of its condition it died, detailed Alejandro Gaviria, coordinating prosecutor of Gelma. The defendant, identified as Deysi Liliana Martínez Baraona, accepted the charge. The other case of animal abuse was registered in La Balsa de Chía, Cundinamarca, when Orlando Arturo Amézquita Cely attacked Lukas, a 4-year-old dog, with a firearm on April 29, 2020. The convicted person was upset because the dog entered his farm. The pet died from a hemorrhage that affected his heart and lungs. According to the judicial entity, between 2020 and 2021, 71 convictions have been issued for the crime of animal abuse. https://noticiasporelmundo.com/noticias/condenas-por-maltrato-animal-en-colombia-mujer-y-hombre-deben-responder-por-muerte-de-dos-perros-colombia-noticias-colombia/
