A lot can happen in ten years. Which makes seeing into the future, especially when it comes to your one and only pretty cool meat, a pretty valuable edge.
I mean, I would almost guarantee that if someone handed you your exact health status a decade from now, you’d surely change some of your present-day habits. And since AI is still not powerful enough to predict the future, we have to settle for the next best thing, your leg.
Yes, you heard that right. New research just dropped suggesting you might get this preview, not from a brain scan, but from your quad muscle.
