New Study Reveals That Tennis Can Add 10 Years To Your Lifespan
This study came at a good time, as the U.S. Open in Flushing Meadows, Queens, NY, begins on Monday. The U.S. Open is the last of the four Grand Slam tournaments in professional tennis. I played a lot of tennis in my 20s and 30s until family and work began to absorb much of my free time. For convenience, I took up running because I could do it anytime, with minimal fuss.

Sixteen Years After Scientists Warned About Endocrine Disruptors in Plastic Bottles, What Does the Evidence Actually Say?
In 2010, a physician named Leonard Sax published a two-page commentary in a peer-reviewed environmental health journal, and it has been quietly fueling water-bottle anxiety ever since. The paper, "Polyethylene Terephthalate May Yield Endocrine Disruptors," didn't report an experiment. Sax ran no lab work of his own. What he did was lay out a hypothesis: that PET — the clear, lightweight plastic used in most disposable water bottles — might leach chemicals capable of interfering with the body's hormones. He pointed to a handful of early studies on phthalates and antimony, cited a striking 2009 finding on mud snails, and closed with a sentence that got left behind as the idea spread: "More research is needed."

The early years are when the building gets built; afterward, you live in the house.

Eating Well is a Hierarchy of Needs
In the world of modern wellness, we are drowning in the minutiae, these minor details that start to take over every health and food decision that we make. We argue over seed oils, debate the timing of our morning shots of apple cider vinegar, and stress over whether our kale was massaged in a BPA-free bowl. We’re missing the plot. We focus on the pinnacle of the pyramid while the foundation is crumbling. Groceries become unattainable because of their cost, air and water quality suffer, health insurance access is smaller and smaller and there are less and less family doctors or public health services.

From expensive supplements and biometric tracking to strict routines and anti-aging technologies, the pursuit of extending life has become a booming global industry. Yet amid the growing fascination with maximizing lifespan, a different philosophy is beginning to emerge.

Skyline Drive Podcast Season Two
We are all fascinated by the unknown. It can be strange, unpredictable, and eye-opening. That’s why I love Skyline Drive, which is an acclaimed narrative documentary podcast hosted by Mangesh Hattikudur. The show explores unconventional and fascinating corners of modern life, starting with a deep dive into astrology and skepticism in its first season, followed by Skyline Drive: How to Live Forever, which investigates the science, biopunks, and business of human immortality, in its second season.
