Seaweed saviour
Move over kale – there’s a new green
on the block. Not only does seaweed
pack a punch both nutritionally (think
salad, not fried!) and in skincare, but
seaweed farms also absorb carbon
and other nasties from the sea, as well
as providing protection and habitats
for aquatic life. It’s a dinner winner.

A new exercise programme helping senior
citizens improve their strength, memory
and wellbeing is being expanded to 130
sites across Singapore. Named ‘Happy’,
the programme aims to bring people
together to create a sense of community.
“Frailty and memory decline are two
aspects of ageing that are reversible,” says
associate professor Reshma Merchant,
Happy’s leader. “Our data shows that older
adults who participate in the programme
and are physically and mentally engaged
have better outcomes in both of these areas,
while 40% felt less lonely.” Let’s hope other
countries take note and follow suit.Science Vs
