Picture this: while you’re stressing over turning 30, a bowhead whale out there is casually blowing out 200 birthday candles made of krill, still rocking the same blubber from the Napoleonic Wars. Scientists just discovered these arctic OGs have 100 times more DNA-repair protein than us fragile humans—basically nature’s anti-aging cheat code. Found in freezing waters, the colder it gets, the more repair juice they pump out, like your grandma knitting faster when the thermostat drops. Researchers are now side-eyeing whale blubber smoothies, hoping to stretch your lifespan past your mortgage. Move over, kale—there’s a new longevity king, and it’s got barnacles older than your family tree.
