Could Earth's magnetic field influence how we age?
The Earth's magnetic field may influence how cells produce energy, physical performance and even lifespan, according to new research from the University of Nottingham.
AI Summary
New research from the University of Nottingham suggests the Earth’s magnetic field can affect cellular energy production, physical performance and lifespan. In experiments with fruit flies, shielding them from the magnetic field disrupted mitochondrial function and altered both longevity and activity levels. The impact varied markedly depending on the flies’ mitochondrial health, indicating that magnetic exposure may have differential effects based on cellular condition.
