What can we learn about living From Britain’s longest-reigning monarch?

Despite living a life of luxury, The Queen preferred a modest and structured approach when it came to her wellbeing.

The Queen did not bother with intense workouts.

She preferred “sensible exercise” like walking her corgis and riding horses, according to the author of “Long Live the Queen!”

When it came to walks, they were not a stroll in the park.

In a speech given when the Queen and Prince Philip visited the U.S. in 1991, then-president GeorgeBush complimented her on her long walks that “left even the Secret Service panting.”

Biographer Sally Bedell Smith once said Elizabeth’s endurance is “striking.”

After a long day of tightly packed events, the tour organizer recounts the moment her Canadian tour guide suddenly realised he had not given the queen one moment’s break, not even to use the loo.

“You need not worry,” said her private secretary. “Her Majesty is trained for eight hours.”

She was fit – but has never lifted a dumbbell, hopped on an elliptical, tracked her heart rate, or done anything resembling a squat, lunge, crunch, press, or curl in a gym environment.

Instead, she preferred a calm walk instead.

She enjoyed time in nature and exploring the Scottish countryside, where she spent her final moments in Balmoral.

The Queen also enjoyed simple meals with a bit of chocolate and gin, never smoked and got good sleep.

So eating a balanced diet, walking, and maintaining a healthy weight — as the Queen did — are key to having a long and healthy life.

Artificial intelligence is fuelling concern as deepfakes emerge and challenge the truth

A U.S. House Intelligence Committee warned of the impact deepfakes may have on American society and democracy in 2019.

At the hearing, California Democrat Adam Schiff showed an artificially-generated clip spoofing Senator Elizabeth Warren.

Lawmakers called on social media platforms and companies to take the threat of deepfakes seriously.

More recently, a democracy-distorting video was posted online showing Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the main contender in the Türkiye election, speaking perfect English.

The deepfake phenomenon is fuelling an arms race between fake content creators and those seeking to moderate it.
