Live Longer In The Blue Zones

admin — Mon, 04 May 2009 00:21:20 +0000

Known as “blue zones“, these are areas where life spans are unusually long. Places like the tiny island of Icaria in the North Aegean Sea host healthier and longer-living citizens than is customary elsewhere. The combination of genes and lifestyle there is being studied by author Don Buettner the AARP and the National Geographic Society.

“If they go to church, if they go to their friends’ house - it always occasions a small walk. But that ends up burning much more calories than going to a gym for 20 minutes a day.”

“They also have a diet that’s very interesting,” Buettner continues. “It’s very high in olive oil; it’s very high in fruits and vegetables.” It’s also very high in greens; about 150 kinds of veggies grow wild on the island. “These greens have somewhere around 10 times the level of antioxidants in red wine.”

Another of their secrets: herbal teas, which act as diuretics.

Warren Buffett Invests In The Electric Car

Warren Buffett usually seems to know where to put his money. In this case, he discovered an entrepreneur who has the biggest electric car company in China, and who is described as a combination of Thomas Edison and Jack Welch. Buffett usually invests only in things he understands, which is why this is an unusual leap. A profile of the company, BYD (Build Your Dreams, maybe?) and its founder, Wang Chuan-Fu explains.

Meteors Created Life

Scientific American is reporting on a research project showing that it was meteors hitting the oceans, not asteroids of comets from outer space as was previously thought that led to life on earth. The study, by two Japanese scientists, is based on them having replicated the impact of meteorites hitting the ocean at 1.25 miles, or two kilometers per second

Study co-author Toshimori Sekine, a researcher at the National Institute for Materials Science in Tsukuba, Japan, says he was surprised by the output from the experiment, adding that “there are many additional molecules we found but didn’t analyze yet.” Lead author Yoshihiro Furukawa, a PhD candidate at Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan, says that in light of the results, “we can say those ocean impact events [were] very effective processes for the production of various biomolecules on the early Earth.” He is quick to note, though, that it is unclear how much or how many of these biomolecules would be needed to initiate life.

But will we ever know the answer to life’s origins?

“It’s neat to show that you could harness the energy of impacts to create organic bonds,” says Jennifer Blank, an astrobiologist at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, Calif. But she fears that theories of life’s origin may never move beyond the hypothetical. “As someone in the general field, one of the frustrations, of course, is that we’re never going to know the answer,” she says. “But as another mechanism for contributing to the inventory of organic compounds, this is cool.”

The Supreme Court ruling on guns brings to the fore how important, to some, guns are in our society. Even though the law allows them, only when we work toward a society when guns and munitions are not even relevant, do we move toward a healed planet.

Finding Your Bliss

That’s what Jill Bolte Taylor, a Harvard neuroscientist did when she had a stroke. It closed down much of the left side of her brain and left her devoid of worries, ego and judgment. Upon her recovery, she began to talk about how to achieve nirvana, a state she now can access at will.

She spoke about this at the Technology, Education and Design (TED) conference in February.

The Man Who Started It All

The Secret, Eckhart Tolle’s The New Earth, the works of Wayne Dyer, and much else on the subject of manifesting, all refer back to some of the principles Napoleon Hill talked about in Think And Grow Rich. Hill passed on in 1970, but is still available to us courtesy of You Tube.
