Diets low in fruits and vegetables but high in red processed meats, fast foods and sugary drinks contribute to accelerating the aging process.

This is reported in a study by the University of Jyväskylä in Finland.

It is also emphasized that diets rich in fruits and vegetables, but with a restriction of red meat, fast food and sugary drinks, slow down the aging process.

Sui Ravi, head of the research team, said the links found in the study could be explained by other lifestyle factors such as physical activity, smoking and body mass index. Healthy and unhealthy habits are often present in the same people, he said

Nevertheless, nutrition has an impact on aging, even when other aspects of lifestyle are taken into account, Ravi concluded.

Glaciologist Matthew Hoffman commented on the disappearance of the Greenland subglacial lake with a volume of 5 billion liters. According to the scientist, this is not the first time such processes have occurred, but their speed has become truly staggering.

According to satellite observations, the depression under the ice sheet in southwestern Greenland emptied at an incredible rate, in just a few hours. Researchers believe that cracks formed over the lake, forming a vertical passage that allowed water to escape deep into the glacial mass.

Hoffman noted that such events, known as ‘subglacial water outbursts’, are not the first time they have occurred, but the rate at which the water disappeared amazed even the experts.

Such processes can increase the speed of glaciers and their melting, threatening the ecological balance of the region.
