Researchers found that drinking orange juice daily changes thousands of immune-cell genes.Many of these genes regulate blood pressure, control sugar metabolism, and reduce inflammation.These mechanisms play a vital role in long-term cardiovascular health, experts say.David C. Gaze of the University of Westminster explains that orange juice triggers measurable changes in the body. Reduced Inflammation and Improved Blood Pressure Adults drank 500 ml of pasteurised orange juice daily for two months in a recent study.After 60 days, genes linked to stress and inflammation—NAMPT, IL6, IL1B, NLRP3—showed lower activity.The SGK1 gene, which controls kidney sodium retention, also decreased activity.Researchers say these shifts…

Health officials warn that measles is resurging worldwide despite sharp declines in deaths since 2000. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports a 47 per cent rise in measles cases across Europe and Central Asia last year, driven by falling vaccination rates. Experts warn that gains in reducing infections and deaths are starting to slip away. In 2024, measles killed approximately 95,000 people globally, mostly children under five. Deaths dropped from 780,000 in 2000, yet the WHO stresses that every preventable death remains unacceptable. Vaccination campaigns have saved nearly 59 million lives since 2000 (WHO, 2025). Rising Infections Highlight Vulnerabilities Global…
A group of tourists attempted the O Circuit trek despite worsening weather and absent park rangers. Torres del Paine National Park, hidden in icy Patagonia, attracts roughly 250,000 to 300,000 visitors annually. Thousands of them tackle the park’s famous trails each year.

The disaster exposed gaps in park safety and highlighted ongoing concerns about management and preparedness. The trekkers, about 30 international hikers, departed the Los Perros campsite between 5 and 7 a.m. They aimed to cross…

The UN climate summit failed to deliver a clear plan to phase out fossil fuels, leaving the European Union increasingly isolated. COP30 in Belém ended with a final text that contained no roadmap, drawing criticism from observers who called it an empty deal and a moral failure. The United States withdrew from climate negotiations, creating both a political and financial void, with President Donald Trump dismissing climate change as a “con job.” Countries heavily dependent on fossil-fuel revenue, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, rejected any target or timeline for phasing out fossil fuels. One day before the summit concluded,…
Scientists traced the ancient planet Theia, which vanished billions of years ago, to understand the Moon’s formation.Astronomers in France, Germany, and the United States analysed terrestrial and lunar rocks to follow Theia’s path.New research suggests Theia formed much closer to the Sun than previously believed.Theia collided with early Earth around 4.5 billion years ago, scattering debris that formed the Moon.Material from Theia became part of both Earth and the Moon after the impact.The giant impact theory has explained the Moon’s birth since Apollo samples were first studied over 50 years ago.Theia’s disappearance erased direct chemical evidence, leaving scientists to infer…
