Harrison Ford Shows Off Sculpted Physique on Solo LA Bike Ride at 83

At 83, Harrison Ford was spotted riding solo through Los Angeles in a fitted athletic kit, later cooling down shirtless to reveal a sculpted upper body. He attributes his condition to cycling and a full-body training regimen with trainer Jaime Milnes, and since 2023 has leaned toward a plant-forward diet with vegetables and fish. Ford also says retirement isn’t on the horizon and intends to keep acting, underscoring that age is simply a number for him.

Five foods that may lower cancer risk, according to a leading oncologist

A leading oncologist from Hackensack Meridian Health says a plant-forward, fiber-rich diet can help lower cancer risk over time. He highlights five key food groups: berries (rich in anthocyanins), tomatoes (lycopene), various whole grains (fiber), cruciferous vegetables (glucosinolates like sulforaphane), and garlic/onions (organosulfur compounds). The message is that overall dietary patterns, not a single “superfood,” along with weight management, reduced carcinogen exposure, sleep, physical activity, screening, and avoiding tobacco and excess alcohol, contribute to cancer prevention.

"Plant-Based Diets Combat Aging Effects on Body Composition"

A study published in JAMA Network Open suggests that a lower-calorie, plant-forward Mediterranean diet combined with increased physical activity can help reduce body fat and prevent muscle loss in middle-aged and older adults. The study involved 1,521 participants and found that those following the lower-calorie Mediterranean diet with exercise experienced significant reductions in body fat and an increase in lean mass, while those receiving only general dietary advice had minimal changes in body composition. The findings highlight the importance of maintaining a healthy weight and the potential benefits of adopting a plant-forward diet and regular physical activity for improving body composition and overall health as we age.
