#2We need to stop doing these pointless studies. Everything is linked to everything, showing it is is a waste of money because (1) we already know and (2) we can't use this info because we don't know what causes what. But people would rather click on these pieces and feel good having their assumptions confirmed that learn and actually improve our society.

You're right, it's basically air pollution. We know that air pollution makes people older and kills millions every year, although the exact mechanism is not known (I have lots of health problems because of it, but no good test to show it except bad sleep patterns at places with high air pollution).
We also know the solutions: electric cars (I just bought my first), heat pumps with electric heating, and reversing aging.

#4nah I don't buy it. it's just work Vs free time. Any serious sailor in their 50s looks shagged, and they've had all the outdoor space you can get. plus if you ask those people they'll actually be just 29.

It's not like sailors spend a lot of time in green spaces though. On serious note: exposure to extreme wind and sun day after day can't be good for your skin.

Sailors get 2x the amount of sun (from the reflection in the water) than someone in an open field.
People spending time in the forest are protected by the shade.

Electric cars are still part of the problem, not the solution. They still cause particulate pollution due to brake and tyre dust plus wear on the roads due to excessive weight. And that's not to mention the noise pollution, stress and danger caused by cars.
Bicycles are the solution to that particular problem.

Electric cars make it more difficult for other people to adopt low-pollution lifestyles by making the streets more dangerous for those walking or biking, and produce a lot of particulates from the tyres, especially since they're quite heavy.
An electric bike, though, is a pretty great choice!

#10Farmers look famously young for their age ... put a 30 year old farmer and a 40 year old lawyer in a room together and you might mistake one for the others father.
