☆ A 93-year-old who started running marathons in his 50s goes to spin class every morning. He does 3 things to stay healthy.

Read previewAt 93, John Starbrook competes in water polo games, hits the gym up to twice a day, and only stopped running marathons five years ago. As average life spans rise and an aging population becomes a global reality, interest in staying healthy for longer is growing. But a healthy lifestyle appeared to offset the effects of genes linked to a shorter lifespan by 62%. But he really amped things up at age 53 when he got into running marathons. Research suggests social bonds are an important part of a long, healthy life.

☆ Norway is gearing up to mine precious metals from the depths of its ocean in a world first
  + stars: | 2024-01-09 | by ( Marianne Guenot | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Norway is set to become the first country to move forward with deep-sea mining in its waters. Industry experts don't expect deep-sea mining to start before at least the early 2030s. It could open 108,000 square miles of Norway's national waters to commercial deep-sea mining, per the BBC. AdvertisementThe industry would seek to collect rare minerals like lithium, scandium, and cobalt from nodules and crust found on the ocean floors. AdvertisementThere are very few places in the world where these rare minerals can be found on the surface.

☆ Rare metals found on seabeds could be key to green technology, but mining them could wreak ecological havoc on the ocean floor
  + stars: | 2023-07-22 | by ( Elias Chavez | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +2 min
The ocean floor has billions of tons of rocks filled with important rare metals used for green technology. But a growing list of countries and corporations are calling for a moratorium on deep-sea mining. The International Seabed Authority missed its July 9 deadline to approve a set of rules and regulations for deep-sea mining. The missed deadline leaves the door open for companies to apply for mining licenses without proper regulations put in place. Representatives of the agency gathered for a two-week meeting in Kingston, Jamaica, to discuss the future of deep-sea mining.

☆ Fact Check-No evidence oxygen or hydrogen peroxide kills or treats cancer cells
  + stars: | 2022-10-14 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +4 min
Social media users are sharing claims that rubbing hydrogen peroxide onto the skin can treat cancer and that oxygen can kill cancer cells. “Neither hydrogen peroxide nor oxygen has undergone the rigorous scrutiny and testing needed to prove that these therapies can treat cancer or kill cancer cells,” Tyler Johnson, a clinical assistant professor of oncology at Stanford Medicine, said via email. While application of hydrogen peroxide can reach the bloodstream, he explained, it will not reach to a tumor far enough to have any helpful effect – in fact, "large amounts of ingested hydrogen peroxide are known to be toxic and cause internal burns." “The most highly touted ‘hyperoxygenating’ agents are hydrogen peroxide, germanium sesquioxide, and ozone,” the review explains. There is no evidence that rubbing hydrogen peroxide on the skin, consuming it, or using other unproven methods to increase oxygen in the body will have an effect on cancer cells.
