From the editor: A sneak peek at a new year of discovery

A NEW YEAR OF DISCOVERY
Welcome to 2023! We are so excited about what we have in store for you this year at National Geographic, and I hope you will join us throughout the months to come as we continue to explore the wonder of our world and its limitless possibilities.

If you haven’t already seen it, our first big feature of the year is an in-depth look at longevity—while scientists aren’t yet saying they can “cure” aging, there is exciting research underway that promises to extend lifetimes meaningfully, and in the foreseeable future. This feature kicks off a new yearlong inquiry into the frontiers of health that we’re calling “Mind, Body, Wonder.” Every week we’ll have new stories for you about medicine, wellness, and more that I know you won’t want to miss.

And that’s just the beginning: later in the year we’ll have everything you ever wanted to know about elephants, adventures in places as far-flung as the Northwest Passage and as close to home as our National Parks, a special package on space and the dawn of a new era of space exploration, and much, much more.

Please consider getting our full digital report and magazine by subscribing here.

Sincerely,
Nathan Lump

This American diet—yep, that’s right—could add 10 years to your life
It’s not a fad diet invented by a South Beach doctor, a paleo diet marketer, or a social media influencer. This diet was developed by ordinary Americans, is widely affordable, is sustainable, and has a lower carbon footprint than a meat-heavy diet.
