Infosys founder NR Narayana Murthy has said that the government needs to complete infrastructure projects on priority and emphasised the need for three working shifts instead of one. Mr Murthy's comment came while discussing the requirement for Bengaluru's development in the next 5-10 years.  "Completing the Electronics City Metro and expanding to other areas, where there are a lot of companies located, must be prioritised," Mr Murthy said during a fireside chat with Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath at the Bengaluru Tech Summit held on November 29.  He urged the infrastructure industry to move beyond the traditional one-shift, "They should not work just one shift, come 11 am and go at 5 pm." He said that people in nations with ambitious aspirations often operate on two work shifts. He said if India embraced a similar approach, it could surpass China's growth. "Elsewhere in the nation with high aspirations, people work - I have seen two shifts bec...

A recent study published in the journal Nature Food suggests that making healthier food choices could add up to 10 years to your life. The study, based on data from the UK Biobank, a massive biomedical database with information from over 467,000 people in the UK, used a model to predict the potential impact of lifestyle changes on lifespan. The key finding? Individuals in their forties who switched from an unhealthy diet to one linked with a longer life could potentially gain around 10 years. Women seemed to benefit slightly more, with an additional 10.8 years, compared to men who saw an increase of 10.4 years. The study emphasises that the sooner you start making dietary improvements, the greater the impact on life expectancy. While adults in their 40s achieved the most significant gains, even those starting at 70 could see an increase, though about half of what the younger age group experiences.

China's health commission said a combination of pathogens is causing a surge in acute respiratory infections across the country, reiterating previous comments aimed at easing concerns a novel virus may be the source.
