WANT to live a long long life, take up chess - yes really.
A comprehensive study of chess Grandmasters and Olympic athletes who achieved at least one medal has found that while the sports science literature has often featured the link between longevity and elite competitors in physical sports, a similar association exists with a "mind sport," namely top-level chess.
Authors concluded, "Not only does the game of life continue after the checkmate, but excelling in mind sports like chess means one is likely to play the game for longer".
Could a burger a day keep the doctor away?
Probably not, let's face it, but it seems to have worked so far for retired US prison guard Don Gorske who recently celebrated the scarfing of his landmark 30,000th McDonald's Big Mac.
Nearly 46 years after having his first taste of that iconic special sauce, Gorske claims to have eaten at least one Big Mac almost every day since 17 May 1972.
