Extreme Heat Accelerates Aging in Older Adults: Study
A study in 'Science Advances' reveals that prolonged exposure to extreme heat (above 32°C) accelerates biological aging in older adults (56+), increasing their risk of disease and premature death. Researchers from the University of Southern California analyzed data from over 3,600 people across the ...

Switching to Tap Water Could Reduce Microplastic Intake by 90%
Canadian research indicates that switching to filtered tap water can reduce annual microplastic intake by 90%, from approximately 90,000 to 4,000 particles, based on a study finding up to 7 grams of plastic in some human brains, with higher levels in those with dementia.
