Fisherman survives 26 hours adrift in a 4-by-4 foot fishing crate
19-year-old Ryan Harris spent a night adrift in a 1-meter by 1-meter plastic fish bin after his boat was hit by big waves and overturned off the coast of Alaska, keeping his spirit up by singing “Rudolf, the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”. His fellow crewmember Stonie “Mac” Huffman managed to get into a survival suit and washed ashore on a beach after 24 hours, using a plastic bin lid for additional flotation. Rescue says it is a miracle they survived, Harris that he kept repeating for four hours: “I’m Ryan Hunter Harris and I’m not going to die here.” Read for instance The Vancouver Sun and The Daily Sitka Sentinel -

New study: Swim training plus healthy diet factor in cancer fight
A new study just published in the journal Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism (APNM) reaffirms the crucial role exercise along with good nutrition play in maintaining health and fighting disease. Via Science Codex:
“Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fifth most frequent cancer worldwide, ranking third among all cancer-related deaths. Clinical and experimental studies have shown that physical exercise helps to prevent cancer and improving quality of life,” says Dr. LuÃs Fernando Barbisan, a coauthor of this study and a researcher in the Department of Morphology at the Institute of Biosciences of São Paulo State University in Brazil. “This study is the first to demonstrate that there is a beneficial effect of exercise training against progression of liver carcinogenesis in rats fed a low-fat diet, but not in rats fed a high-fat diet. That high-fat diet regimen mimics the food habits of humans living in Western countries.”
