By Ross Pomeroy Humans are living longer than ever before. Since 1950, global average life expectancy has risen from 47 to 73. This remarkable gain has been won through reducing poverty and eradicating disease, among other humanitarian advances. But in countries whose citizens are now living to advanced ages in the 80s and beyond, a...
By Jancee Dunn Dicey health claims and wellness programs have been around for centuries, from the snake oil of the 1800s to the “master cleanse” of the early aughts. Even as a health journalist, I have tried supplements that claimed to curb a raging sweet tooth (though I suspected, correctly, that they wouldn’t work). So...
By Li Yuan A heartbreaking video of a retiree that showed what groceries she could buy with 100 yuan, or $14.50 — roughly her monthly pension and sole source of income — went viral on the Chinese internet. The video was deleted. A singer vented the widespread frustration among young, educated Chinese about their dire finances...
By Berkeley Lovelace Eating fewer calories appears to slow the pace of aging and increase longevity in healthy adults, according to a study published Thursday in the journal Nature Aging. The study, which was funded by the National Institute on Aging, part of the National Institutes of Health, is the first-ever randomized controlled trial that...
By Silvia Marchetti As foreigners flock to buy old, inexpensive houses in Italy, one group has gone a step further, helping to revive a depopulated town. Irsina, deep in the southern Basilicata region, is home to over 300 non-Italians from 12 different countries, alongside 4,000 local residents. Until the 1960s, this hilltop village surrounded by...
By Tiffany Hsu For most of his 40-year career, Carlos Moreno, a scientist and business professor in Paris, worked in relative peace. Many cities around the world embraced a concept he started to develop in 2010. Called the 15-minute city, the idea is that everyday destinations such as schools, stores and offices should be only a short...
I predicted in early 2019 that by the end of that year “the event” would begin. This event, as described to me by another who possesses a similar ability to see outside the box, would last 12-13 years and would see a radical transformation in our world. I took this information to heart, and I...
By Andrew Nikiforuk We are going to have to dramatically downsize the dream of a future in which we replace 150-year-old fossil fuel infrastructure with “clean energy” by 2050. That’s the message in a number of recent important reports and books. They underscore a number of problems with the renewables illusion, including the complexity of...
By Connie Chang When we’re young, exercise can enable us to run a race after an all-nighter or snowboard on a diet of Doritos. But as we age, fitness has a much more far-reaching impact, boosting our energy levels, preventing injuries and keeping us mentally sharp. Aging causes muscles to lose mass, bone density to...
By Maggie Harrison Last weekend, comedian and YouTuber Adam Conover took to YouTube to publish a scathing 25-minute-long video essay addressing the ongoing AI gold rush. And honestly? It goes pretty hard. “Tech companies are suddenly promising to use AI to revolutionize everything from computer programming to customer service to therapy,” Conover said in the...
By Amanda Ruggeri Like many of us, I spend too much time on my phone. And, like many of us, I am acutely aware of – and often feel guilty about it. Sometimes, I’ll leave it at the other end of the house, or turn it off, to use it less. But, sooner than I’d...
By Patricia S. Daniels As we age, our senses become less acute through changes in the organs themselves, as well as changes in the brain. An aging brain becomes less able to perceive sensations, process information, create and store memories, and learn as some neurons die through normal aging or through disease or injury. But...
