Ldear reader, women suffer from this Age stronger than men. They are still judged primarily on their appearance. Why is it so difficult for many to break away from male gaze to free? Melanie Mühl from our feuilleton went in search of answers. Studies show that women are particularly at odds with themselves and their lives between the ages of 45 and 55. This is when the menopause occurs. Men don’t go through this phase of life particularly calmly either, but their frustration weighs less heavily than that of women.

Always more children and young people are dependent on social networks and computer games. The pandemic and the platform providers are not the only ones to blame for this – Julia Anton from our society editorial team thinks that adults have to be role models.

They meditate and read, do light exercise and long walks, spoon broth and sip tea. The text is part of our new cross-departmental focus “Healthy and Fit”.
Keep it that way during the Easter period – my colleague Felix Hooß, who is one of the brains behind our F+ offer, will take over here for the next two weeks.
