A report by Ava Durgin on mindbodygreen defines mobility as “your ability to move your joints through their full range of motion while maintaining control and stability.” The report states that adults who maintain better joint mobility experience significantly lower rates of falls, fractures, and functional decline as they age.

Potatoes may have given Indigenous Andeans digestive superpowers

Our taste for bread and pasta wouldn’t be the same if not for our ability to break down starch, a talent Peru’s Andean populations have taken to the extreme. A genome-wide study conducted by researchers from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), has revealed that Indigenous Andeans have, on average, up to four times the number of genes for a starch-busting digestive enzyme in their spit than any other population. Closer inspection of the gene’s sequences suggests

You can safely and easily can your own meat

Of all the foods I can every year, the most useful is the wide variety of meats. While we aren’t huge meat eaters, these rows and rows of jars of all sizes form the base of many meals throughout the year.

12 Lost Skills the Founders Knew That America Needs Now

Our lives are much easier today than when our forefathers fought for independence. While they strived to be independent and self-reliant, many Americans today increasingly rely on technology. Each new generation becomes a little less independent and a little more dependent on tools that won’t help them much if the grid goes down. Consider these alarming survey results from a 2017 poll: More than half of young adults were unable to tie a single knot, and 40% had never swum in

How GPS Weakens Memory—and What We Can Do about It

Using mobile phones to navigate has become second nature. Whether you’re heading to a new park, meeting friends at a restaurant, or going to run errands, you just tap the location on your phone and go. Prior to GPS, exploring and wayfinding in new places required preparation. We had to think, consult paper maps, and plan and memorize parts of our route.

Beginners Guide to Root Cellaring (without Root Cellar!)

Few people are lucky enough to have an actual root cellar any more, but that doesn’t mean you can’t “root cellar” produce at home. My family stores 200 pounds of each apples, onions, and potatoes (600 lbs total) without a root cellar, along with all manner of other produce, homemade cheese, and salt-cured meats. These days, our basement works well for the task, but in the past, we’ve used back closets and other jerry-rigged spaces to get the job done. Where there’s a wi

Security Experts Are Concerned about Potential Harm of EV Batteries

Cybersecurity and national security experts have explored how EV batteries and the connected technology of electric vehicles could potentially be weaponized in other ways to cause significant disruption or mass casualties in a terrorist attack scenario, or actions by a disgruntled employee.

For 50 Years The CIA Hid Research Regarding Drugs Like Ivermectin and Cancer

According to The Daily Mail, a declassified CIA document is raising concerns that the agency purposely suppressed information that could have been a valuable tool in treating cancer: A newly surfaced CIA document suggests US intelligence once reviewed research that hinted at a possible cancer treatment more than 60 years ago.
