🚨 In the US, data centers now consume 6% of the nation's total electricity, with an estimated 3 gigawatts of that power wasted entirely on unused 'zombie' applications that were never turned off.

Vast warehouses of microchips powering the global AI boom are putting unprecedented strain on national power grids, according to new research from the International Data Center Authority (IDCA). Driven by a 15% global increase in energy consumption over just two years, annual investment in data centrs is rapidly approaching $1 trillion—nearly 1% of the global economy.

In fact, analyses reveal that these data centers now consumer 6% of all energy in *both* the US and the UK. This rapid expansion has triggered severe energy shortages and multi-year delays for grid connections in the UK, while raising urgent questions about the environmental toll of unchecked tech growth.

The escalating energy demand is provoking significant pushback as tech footprints cross critical thresholds, with campaigners like Greenpeace warning that the AI boom could drive up energy bills, strain water supplies, and revive fossil fuels. Critics are calling for greater transparency, proper environmental impact assessments, and a crackdown on inefficiencies, such as the estimated 3 gigawatts of power wasted on unused 'zombie' services in the US alone.

As datacentres are increasingly targeted as critical infrastructure, the tech industry faces mounting pressure to address both its massive ecological footprint and growing security vulnerabilities.

🚨 30 MINUTES A DAY COULD CHANGE YOUR FUTURE

A simple daily walk may do more than just keep you fit—it can help you live longer. Research shows that 30 minutes of walking each day can improve heart health, reduce disease risk, and may add up to 7 extra years of life over time.

No gym. No equipment. Just walking… something most people already do, but often ignore as “not enough.”
The real surprise is this: small daily habits, done consistently, can quietly shape how long and how well you live.

A second-degree burn is a mild to moderate burn, and it’s the most common type. A burn is tissue damage caused by a heat, chemical or light source. A second-degree burn damages the outer layer of your skin (epidermis) and the second layer of your skin (dermis). It’s less severe than a third-degree burn. You can treat most second-degree burns at home.

Features of a second-degree burn include:

Skin discoloration: deep red to dark brown.
Blisters.
Shiny, moist skin.
Pain or discomfort.
Swelling.
Layers of skin peeling away.

If you have a small second-degree burn (less than 3 inches in diameter), you can treat it at home:

-Use cool water to gently wash your burn. Try to keep your burn area under water for at least five minutes, up to 30 minutes. Gently pat the burn dry with a clean towel.
-Cover your burn with a clean bandage or wound dressing like non-stick gauze.
-Avoid touching your burn or placing clothing on your skin that can cause friction or rub against your wound.
-Take over-the-counter pain relievers (acetaminophen or ibuprofen) as recommended by your provider if you experience pain.
-Change your bandage at least once daily.

You should keep your burn covered for the first few days after the event as you let your skin heal. Make sure your blisters stay closed on your skin. If a blister breaks open, you should keep your burn covered with a bandage to prevent an infection. If the blister isn’t broken, you can let your burn air out or breathe without a bandage.

Your baked potato isn’t the villain—your French fries are.

For decades, health professionals demonized all potatoes for their starch and blood sugar spikes. But a mammouth 40-year study of over 205,000 people just shattered that myth.

Published in The BMJ, the data shows:

• 3 servings of French fries per week = 20% higher risk of type 2 diabetes
• Boiled, baked, or mashed potatoes = No increased risk

It’s not the potato. It’s the processing.

Frying in oxidized seed oils can turn a nutrient-rich food, packed with potassium, magnesium, and vitamin C, into a more inflammatory one.

Cool and reheat your potatoes? You even get resistant starch that supports your gut and insulin sensitivity.

Smart swaps matter:

• Replace fries with whole grains → up to 19% lower diabetes risk
• Swap for white rice → risk goes up

Every micro-choice counts for your health!

Vitamins and minerals are substances your body needs to survive, grow, and work the way it should. Different vitamins and minerals have different jobs, affecting everything from your nerves and bones to how well your blood clots. Eating a balanced diet with plenty of vegetables, fruits, and whole grains should provide the vitamins and minerals you need. But if you can't always eat healthy meals, taking supplements might help.

Do foodborne diseases only affect people immediately after exposure?

❌ NO

For example, chemical hazards in food can cause long-term health problems, including:

🔸cardiovascular disease
🔸intellectual disability
🔸cancer

Today is #WorldFoodSafetyDay.

More than 262 million people in the African Region fell ill from unsafe food in 2021.

Foodborne diseases are preventable. From farm to table, safer food means healthier families, stronger communities and fewer lives at risk.
