As much as we like to pretend we’re above clickbait, “listicle’s” and Top 10 lists, we’re really not. At least not me…! Ranking the best movies, albums, TV shows, restaurants and other forms of pop culture is inherently intriguing as it plays on our pattern seeking behavior as humans; we want to know if the things we enjoy are shared by others, and if they are, reconfirm our biases that what we like is actually good for us. Or, we see other people’s opinions and disagree with them, which in itself can be somewhat therapeutic (i.e. “rage clicks”). Psychology aside, ranking the healthiness of foods has become a huge trend, especially in the world of discussing superfoods. In reality, there isn’t such thing as a superfood. We need to eat a balanced diet to stay healthy; if you only ate kale and blueberries for a month, you would soon become protein deficient and probably develop some serious issues. Having said that, there are foods we can assess for nutritional value (vitamins, minerals, protein, carbohydrates, good fats) that may be better than others. Safe to say that 100g of almonds and 100g of iceberg lettuce are not created equal. I stumbled across this list put out by the BBC on the World’s Top 100 Most Nutritious Foods. It’s a cool list as there are definitely a few wildcards in there that might surprise you (lard anyone?). For brevity I’ve included the Top 10 below, but it’s worth reading the whole thing. If you’re living an active lifestyle, exercising 3-4 times a week, the body needs to repair and recover the torn muscle fibers from your activity in addition to replacing the glycogen in your muscle cells that has depleted during exercise. All the physiological processes that allow this to happen require different nutrients, hence why a balanced diet is so important. Have a read through the list and start expanding your grocery shopping list accordingly.

Will Earth ever run out of oxygen?

New research published in Nature Geoscience shows that Earth's oxygen will only stick around for another billion years. One of the Sun's age-related changes is getting brighter as it gets older. When a star runs out of hydrogen fuel in its core, the core has to get hotter in order to fuse the next element, helium.

Our Sun is middle-aged, with about five billion years left in its lifespan. However, it’s expected to go through some changes as it gets older, as we all do — and these changes will affect our planet. New research published in Nature Geoscience shows that Earth’s oxygen will only stick around for another billion years. One of the Sun's age-related changes is getting brighter as it gets older. When a star runs out of hydrogen fuel in its core, the core has to get hotter in order to fuse the next element, helium. As the core gets hotter, the outer layers expand, and the star gets brighter. This extra energy hitting Earth will eventually cause our planet to warm up and slowly lose its oceans and its oxygen. The exact timing of when we lose our oxygen depends on more complicated factors — particularly our planet’s carbonate-silicate cycle, which releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere from volcanoes. As the mantle cools and this cycle slows, less carbon dioxide will be available for the plants that produce oxygen, leading to a rapid loss of oxygen in the atmosphere. The researchers’ model took into account all these factors — our biosphere, the Sun’s changes, our planet’s changes, and more — to come up with their estimate of about a billion years. Interestingly, this means that planets like Earth only have oxygen for a fraction of their lifetimes. When we try to find habitable worlds, this will be important to keep in mind.
