Starship delivery robots leave campuses for cities
Those little white robots that once rolled across college sidewalks with lattes, fries and late-night snacks are getting a new assignment. Starship Technologies recently announced that it will wind down its U.S. university campus operations and redeploy more than 1,200 robots toward grocery chains and hot food delivery in cities across the United States and Europe.
If you have ever watched one of these robots patiently wait at a crosswalk like a polite cooler on wheels, you know why students got attached. They became part campus convenience, part mascot. Now, the company is moving from a controlled campus setting into a much tougher public test.

That raises the bigger question: will these cute campus robots be just as welcome when they start sharing crowded city sidewalks with you?

Starship says the decision comes down to focus. The company says its grocery delivery operations are on a 10x growth trajectory over the next two years, driven by demand from major retailers in the United States and Europe.
In Finland, Starship says its robots already complete roughly one in five grocery deliveries. That gives the company a real-world model it wants to repeat elsewhere. To support that expansion, more than 1,200 robots from U.S. campus fleets will be moved into grocery delivery. For Starship, that is a major pivot. Campuses helped the company build its brand in the U.S. They also gave the robots a place to learn.
Starship made a big U.S. splash at George Mason University in 2019, when the school became the first U.S. university to offer autonomous robot deliveries from Starship. From there, the robots spread to dozens of campuses. That made sense. College students are often hungry at odd hours. Many live without a full kitchen. They also tend to be open to new tech, especially when it brings food to the dorm without small talk.
During the pandemic, contactless delivery became even more appealing. A robot that could roll up with lunch while limiting person-to-person contact suddenly felt useful in a very different way.
Starship says it has worked with its university campuses and industry partners to keep service running through the 2026–2027 back-to-school season, with transition plans in place to reduce disruption. So, this does not appear to be an instant shutdown where every campus robot disappears at once. Instead, the company is moving away from the university model while preparing its fleet for a bigger push into grocery and restaurant delivery.
For students who loved the bots, it may still feel like the end of an era. For Starship, though, it is a move toward the market where the company believes the economics are stronger. Starship CEO and co-founder Ahti Heinla says the company's robots can deliver groceries at a cost $3-$4 lower per delivery than traditional courier fulfillment. That is the kind of claim that gets the attention of retailers trying to make last-mile delivery less expensive.
ZOOX ROBOTAXI REDESIGN BRINGS BIG RIDER UPGRADES
The next phase could get messy. Delivery robots have to share sidewalks with people who are walking, pushing strollers, using wheelchairs, carrying groceries or trying to catch a bus. That means every design choice matters. A robot that blocks a curb ramp can create a real problem. A robot that pauses in the wrong spot can turn from cute to irritating fast. If one reverses unexpectedly or gets stuck near a crosswalk, the novelty wears off even faster.
There have already been warning signs. Reports have described delivery robots bumping into people, getting stuck in odd places and raising accessibility concerns. Chicago has also seen local pushback and safety concerns around sidewalk delivery robots, which shows Starship still has work to do if it wants city residents to embrace them. That is the challenge Starship now faces. The same robot that felt charming on a campus may feel like clutter on a narrow sidewalk.
Grocery delivery is a different business from campus food delivery. A college order might be a sandwich, a soda or a late-night snack. A grocery run can involve heavier items, more frequent routes and customers who expect reliability every time. If Starship can make that work, the payoff could be huge. Grocery stores want cheaper local delivery. Customers want speed without sky-high fees. Cities want fewer cars clogging short delivery routes.
Starship says the global food delivery market is now worth $650 billion and needs delivery systems with higher autonomy levels. The company also says it has completed more than 10 million deliveries, which gives it a sizable head start in the sidewalk robot category.
However, the public will need convincing. People may welcome a robot bringing milk and eggs on a rainy night. They may also get annoyed if that same robot blocks a sidewalk during the morning rush. That will all decide whether sidewalk robots become normal or face more local limits.
Starship was founded in Tallinn, Estonia, in 2014 by Ahti Heinla and Janus Friis. Estonia remains home to the company's core engineering and AI development team. That is important because this shift is not only about where the robots operate.
Starship's move shows where the delivery robot business is headed. College campuses helped make the robots likable. Grocery delivery may determine whether they become profitable. Still, the sidewalks belong to the public. That means companies need more than clever machines. They need trust, clear rules and designs that respect people who move through cities in different ways.
A delivery robot should never make a sidewalk harder to use for someone with a cane, stroller or wheelchair. It should not turn public space into an obstacle course. If companies want these robots to feel normal, they need to prove they can operate without making daily life more frustrating.
ARE HUMANOID ROBOTS NOW COMING FOR RETAIL JOBS?
You may start seeing more delivery robots near grocery stores, restaurants and apartment-heavy neighborhoods. If that happens, pay attention to how they behave in your area. Look for whether they yield to pedestrians, avoid curb ramps and handle crowded sidewalks well. Also, check whether your city has rules for personal delivery devices. Some places allow pilot programs, while others limit where these robots can operate.
If a robot causes a problem, document it safely. Take a photo or video, note the location and report it to your city or the delivery company. That is important because local officials need real examples, not vague frustration, when they decide what rules should apply. There is also a privacy angle. These robots use sensors and cameras to navigate. Companies may say the data supports safe operation, but you still deserve clear answers about what gets collected, how long it is kept and whether law enforcement can request it.

Starship's campus exit feels like the end of a quirky era, especially for students who got used to seeing the little robots rolling around campus. But this shift also tells us something bigger about where autonomous delivery is going. The next battle will happen on city sidewalks, not college campuses. If these robots save money and reduce short car trips, they could become very useful. But if they crowd walkways or create safety headaches, people will push back hard. To me, the real test is pretty clear. Robot delivery needs to work for everyone on the sidewalk, including people who never ordered anything.
Would you be ok with a delivery robot on your block, or would you rather keep your sidewalks robot-free? Let us know by writing to us at CyberGuy.com.

Ancient inscription revealing Christianity's clash with mysterious cult decoded by researchers
Archaeologists recently unveiled rare written evidence of Christianity's rise over a Roman mystery religion. They found an ancient inscription, written in the same language that was spoken by Jesus Christ.
The engraving was found at an underground Mithras temple at Zerzevan Castle, a Turkish fortification roughly 40 miles north of the Syrian border.
The inscription back 1,700 years and was written in Aramaic, which was widely spoken across the ancient Near East, including by Jesus Christ.
ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNEARTH ANCIENT TREASURE CACHE AT BIBLICAL CITY CONNECTED TO GENESIS
The temple was dedicated to Mithras, a deity worshiped by followers of a "mystery cult" associated with light and cosmic order.
During the second and third centuries A.D., Mithraism was widespread throughout the Roman Empire — and the Zerzevan underground sanctuary is regarded as one of its best-preserved temples.
The inscription is located at the entrance of the temple, along with a depiction of a cross. Its meaning had eluded researchers since it was discovered in 2017.
The engraving is the first known Aramaic inscription documenting the closure of a Mithras temple, Mardin Artuklu University professor Mehmet Sait Toprak told Turkish state news outlet Anadolu Agency (AA), which first reported the discovery.
TEST YOURSELF WITH OUR LATEST LIFESTYLE QUIZ
Toprak analyzed the inscription's language and letter forms to determine its meaning.
Comparing it with Old Syriac and Aramaic inscriptions from the second and third centuries A.D., he concluded the inscription dates to the third or fourth century A.D.
The inscription mentions both Mithras and Jesus Christ — symbolizing the shift from one faith to the other, according to Toprak.
The professor told AA the engraving also contains references to the Holy Cross.

"This is an extremely important archaeological discovery," Toprak told the outlet.
Excavation director Aytaç Coşkun told AA that earlier coin discoveries had suggested the temple was abandoned in the third or fourth century, but the newly deciphered inscription provides new direct evidence that it was closed and symbolically sealed by Christians.
He added that, once fourth-century Roman emperors embraced Christianity, Mithraism was seen as a rival religion.

The latest discovery is one of many early Christian finds resurfacing in Asia Minor.
Last summer, archaeologists excavating the ancient city of Olympus uncovered the remains of a fifth-century Christian church, bearing an inscription hidden for more than 1,000 years.
The same year, archaeologists excavating Kaunos found the remains of a Roman hospital that was later transformed into a Christian sanctuary.
New York Harbor whale strike sinks fire rescue boat after July 4 celebrations
A surfacing whale struck a New Jersey fire department boat Friday, forcing firefighters to abandon the vessel as it returned from a July 4 marine security assignment in New York Harbor, officials said.
The Carteret Fire Department said Marine Unit 2 was returning to Carteret waters around 4:30 p.m. Friday after assisting with a regional special operations marine security detail in the New York/New Jersey Port area when a whale breached beneath the vessel's stern near the mouth of Raritan Bay.
The department said the whale strike caused catastrophic damage to the boat, which immediately began taking on water, giving firefighters only seconds to abandon the vessel.
PILOT DECLARES MAYDAY BEFORE SEAPLANE COMES DOWN IN NEW YORK CITY’S EAST RIVER
All firefighters aboard escaped without injury, according to the department.
Officials said a nearby recreational jet ski operator and another boater immediately came to the firefighters' aid before members of the Perth Amboy Fire Department's marine unit arrived and helped rescue the crew from the water.
A nearby recreational vessel reported seeing multiple whales breaching before and after the collision, the Carteret Fire Department said.
The circumstances surrounding the incident remain under review, and officials said additional information will be released as it becomes available.
Mayor Dan Reiman described the incident as a "harrowing experience" in a public statement, saying the surfacing whale struck the vessel beneath its stern and caused catastrophic damage.
"While the Carteret Fire Department Marine Unit regularly trains to rescue civilians from the water and respond to marine emergencies, fires, and vehicle incidents, an event of this nature is something no one anticipates," the fire department said. "Understandably, it has left those involved shaken, but we are incredibly thankful that everyone returned home safely to their families."
The department used the incident to remind boaters, jet ski operators and kayakers to wear properly fitted life jackets, noting that every firefighter aboard was wearing one when the boat was damaged.
Officials have not identified the species of whale involved. It was not clear whether the animal was injured.
Media attacks Donald Trump's Fourth of July celebration claiming it 'sullied' America 250
Mainstream media and media pundits accused President Donald Trump of ruining America 250 and July 4 celebrations over the last week, even prior to nationwide celebrations.
A direct example came on Friday when The New York Times opinion writer Robin Givhan wrote her op-ed titled "Trump Ruined the Fourth of July for Me."
"But this year, I can barely tolerate the sight of red, white and blue," Givhan wrote. "When combined into a maximalist display of nationalist cheerleading, the colors make my heart ache. The flags on federal buildings are grand, but they hang alongside banners featuring President Trump’s scowling face."
BILL MAHER TELLS LIBERALS TO STOP 'PARTISAN SULKING' AND JOIN AMERICA 250 PARTY
The negative sentiment against Trump was also present in an article from The Atlantic on Wednesday. Staff writer Anne Applebaum described how Trump "inevitably" had "destroyed the nation’s 250th-anniversary celebrations" based on his partisan stance.
"This year is different, because the White House is inhabited by people who don’t believe in the 'abstractions' that we usually celebrate on the Fourth of July," Applebaum wrote. "And this affects the rest of us, whether we want it to or not. Congress’s celebration, planned for a decade, has been usurped by the president’s celebration, funded by private donors and featuring a political speech by himself. Other institutions in and around Washington postponed or reduced their 250th celebrations, so as not to get in the way of the president. Many people who might have participated will not attend, pay attention, or care."
Though less critical, The Washington Post reporters Natalie Allison and Cleve R. Wootson Jr. made similar comments in their piece on Saturday, claiming that Trump had made himself "central" to the America 250 celebration.
HOLLYWOOD CELEBRITIES CRASH AMERICA'S 250TH BIRTHDAY WITH A GRIM HOLIDAY WARNING ABOUT TRUMP
"As he has throughout the anniversary celebration, Trump cast himself as central to the story he wants the country to tell about itself: that America was diminished before him, revived by him and is now celebrating its founding through his restoration — a promised 'Golden Age.' At Mount Rushmore on Friday night, he told the crowd that he 'saved, almost single-handedly,' the Second Amendment and that he was going to 'give our country its identity back,'" they wrote.
Former NBC host Chuck Todd was more livid at Trump's role in the America 250 celebrations during his show on Saturday. Todd went as far as to claim that Trump not only ruined July 4 celebrations but the image of America itself.
"Trump’s doing all of us a favor by selfishly trying to steal this anniversary from us. We now see who he really is. So no, it’s not the celebration we deserve. It’s not the one we could have had. But we get a mirror, and the mirror is telling us something. The country is a lot bigger than Donald Trump. It is bigger than any president, and it’s obviously bigger than any political party. And there’s no one definition of patriotism," Todd said.
He continued, "But it still needs leaders who understand that it still needs citizens who insist on it. And it still needs people willing to say that the national story belongs to all of us, not just whoever happens to hold power at any one moment. America at 250 may be a lost opportunity. Donald Trump has absolutely sullied the brand of America. But America 275 does not have to be."
Todd also said he felt angry and "betrayed as an American," and that Trump "cheapened" the country.
"This is why I’m so p----- off. Not because I love the country less, but because I love the idea of America enough to resent seeing it cheapened by this man. America deserved better at 250. Some day, I believe it will get better. But it's in your hands," Todd said.
Fox News Digital reached out to the White House for comment.
Trump celebrated America's 250th birthday with a 28-minute speech at Mount Rushmore followed by a 23-minute fireworks display.
"The American dream still lives, and the American flag still flies more proudly than ever before over the people who will not quit," Trump said. "The nation that will not fail, the country that will not fall no matter how hard the enemy tries, we cannot be beaten."

ESPN writer hates Team USA getting Folarin Balogun back, says any World Cup success is now 'tainted'
Team USA is hours away from its biggest home-soil match in a generation. ESPN has somehow decided it's the villain.
Instead of building excitement for Monday night's World Cup Round of 16 showdown against Belgium in Seattle, ESPN senior writer Mark Ogden spent the eve of the match explaining why Team USA shouldn't feel too good about getting Folarin Balogun back.
His headline says it all: "Nobody benefits from FIFA letting Balogun off the hook -- not even the USMNT."
FIFA MAKES FINAL RULING ON US SOCCER STAR FOLARIN BALOGUN'S CONTROVERSIAL RED CARD SUSPENSION
Rather than seeing a controversial decision corrected, Ogden argues the reversal hurts the tournament, hurts FIFA and, somehow, even hurts Team USA.
A VAR review turned what many viewed as an accidental step on an opponent's ankle into a straight red card for Balogun during Team USA's 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The decision was immediately criticized as excessive, with Mauricio Pochettino among those arguing it never warranted a straight red.
FIFA's disciplinary committee ultimately suspended the automatic one-match ban under Article 27, clearing Balogun to play Monday.
President Donald Trump spoke with FIFA President Gianni Infantino, arguing the punishment was unjust before FIFA reversed course, a source told Fox News.
Trump, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik and White House task force leader Andrew Giuliani put together a team of lawyers outside the White House to challenge the use of slow-motion replay to give Balogun the red card, according to OutKick founder and Fox News contributor Clay Travis.
That should have settled the matter.
Instead, Ogden argued that correcting the decision is what hurts the integrity of the World Cup.
He writes:
"If the U.S. defeats Belgium on Monday, the global soccer community will not view it as a hard-fought, tactical triumph... Instead, it will forever carry an asterisk, tainted by the perception that the host nation used corrupt, backroom political maneuvers to alter the tournament's rules."
That's quite the way to preview the biggest American soccer match in decades.
Rather than seeing an overly harsh punishment reversed, Ogden is warning fans that any victory should come with an apology attached.
He doubles down from there, arguing FIFA has "damaged the credibility of its own tournament," warning the decision creates "a dangerous precedent," and concluding that "nobody benefits" from Balogun being allowed to play, not Belgium, not FIFA and "not even the USMNT."

Rather than celebrating the overturning of a controversial suspension, Ogden is telling Team USA fans they should feel bad if their team wins.
The column also argueed FIFA would never have made the same decision for a smaller nation, treating American influence as a moral failing instead of acknowledging a reality that has existed for decades: host nations enjoy advantages. Home crowds matter. Host nations have advantages. That's international sports.
If FIFA ultimately concluded an obviously controversial call deserved another look, that's an indictment of the original officiating, not the United States.
So Monday night, Team USA will field its best eleven players, exactly as it should.
ESPN can keep clutching its pearls.
USA by a million.

Here's the unique, little-known rule that FIFA used to overturn Folarin Balogun red card suspension
When Folarin Balogun received a red card in the U.S. men's national team match against Bosnia and Herzegovina after VAR review, it was immediately controversial.
The contact between Balogun and the Bosnian player was clearly incidental, with both going for the ball, leading to the awkward foot placement. Players, coaches, and analysts all agreed that the red card was harsh at best, and inaccurately given at worst.
Mauricio Pochettino said it was unjust.
Weston McKennie said something similar.
"Obviously the referee made a decision that he made, but I think it’s questionable," McKennie explained. "I think there’s been many other plays like that throughout the tournament on other players that a card wasn’t given at all. It’s disappointing."
YES, THE UNITED STATES WAS TREATED UNFAIRLY BY THE CONTROVERSIAL FOLARIN BALOGUN RED CARD DECISION
And a former top-level referee wrote that the entire process was against FIFA's own rules.
"VAR made their recommendation to the referee based on slow-motion and still replays, which is not aligned with VAR protocols, as these should be used for only point-of-contact purposes in a red card tackle situation," said Andy Davies, a referee who worked in the Premier League and Championship and was a Select Group referee for over 12 seasons.
On Sunday, FIFA apparently agreed.
News broke that FIFA had overturned Balogun's red card suspension, allowing him to play against Belgium in Seattle on Monday night, despite there being no process allowing the USMNT or US Soccer to appeal the card. So how did this happen?
An arcane rule, known as Article 27, the "Suspension of Implementation of Disciplinary Measures," allowed for FIFA to review the automatic red card suspension, and essentially delay it for a year.
"By operation of Article 27 FDC, the implementation of the automatic suspension for USA player Folarin Balogun is suspended for a probationary period of one [1] year," the soccer governing body said in a statement. Article 27 says that "1. The judicial body may decide to fully or partially suspend the implementation of a disciplinary measure. 2. By suspending the implementation of the sanction, the judicial body subjects the person sanctioned to a probationary period of one to four years."
Should Balogun receive another red card however, that "suspension shall be revoked by the judicial body and the sanction enforced without prejudice to any additional sanction imposed for the new infringement."
Presumably, FIFA, encouraged by President Donald Trump and the White House team, used Article 27 in part because of the apparently improper process used by the VAR referee to recommend a review by the on-field ref.
Trump, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik and White House task force leader Andrew Giuliani put together a team of lawyers outside the White House to challenge the use of slow-motion replay to give Balogun the red card, according to OutKick founder and Fox News contributor Clay Travis.
And while European fans, and the Belgian soccer federation, are furious about the overturn, FIFA used this same protocol to allow Cristiano Ronaldo to play for Portugal.

Ronaldo received a red card against Ireland in a World Cup qualifier in 2025, leading to a three-game suspension. But FIFA used Article 27 to delay his punishment for up to a year. He sat out one pre-tournament match, then chose to defer the final two until after the World Cup.
Regardless, the wrong of Balogun's red card has been righted. And he'll make the USMNT that much more dangerous on Monday night against Belgium.
Zelenskyy pressures US and Europe for more 'air defense' assistance amid ongoing war with Russia
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is pressuring the U.S. and Europe to provide more missiles to help Ukraine defend against Russian attacks.
"Last night, Kyiv came under a massive Russian attack. Russia launched 68 missiles and 351 attack drones," Zelenskyy noted in part of a Monday post on X.
President Donald Trump is slated to attend the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit in Ankara, Turkey, this week.
Zelenskyy is calling for the U.S. and European allies to emerge from the meeting "with strong decisions in support of" Ukraine's "air defense."
TRUMP CALLS OUT NATO AHEAD OF SUMMIT, CALLING IT 'RIDICULOUS' FOR US TO PERSIST ON 'ONE SIDED PATH'
"Our warriors performed well today in intercepting drones and cruise missiles, but unfortunately not Russian ballistic missiles. And the reason lies in the insufficient supply of interceptor missiles. It is critically important that the world – first and foremost the United States and our European partners – come out of the NATO Summit in Ankara with strong decisions in support of our air defense, and thus the protection of ordinary people’s lives," he noted in the post.
WORLD LEADERS, DIGNITARIES PAY TRIBUTE TO AMERICA ON HISTORIC 250TH BIRTHDAY
"As long as Patriot missiles remain in our allies' stockpiles, Russia is only encouraged to keep 'vanquishing' residential buildings. The United States and Europe have enough strength to stop this terror," he asserted.
Zelenskyy's comments come amid the ongoing, years-long war between Russia and Ukraine.
RUSSIAN GENERALS' ASSASSINATIONS EXPOSE GROWING RIFT INSIDE PUTIN'S SECURITY APPARATUS
Reuters reported that Zelenskyy, new South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, European Council President Antonio Costa and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen are expected to have dinner with NATO leaders on Tuesday.
England player injures wrist hopping over ad board during team's World Cup victory celebration vs Mexico
England was jubilant after taking down Mexico in their Round of 16 World Cup match on Sunday night but a small slip-up amid a celebration after the 3-2 win may have cost them a player.
English midfielder Jordan Henderson was taken to the hospital after he injured his wrist, coach Thomas Tuchel said. Henderson suffered the injury when he tumbled over an advertising board during the post-match celebration.

"I have mixed feelings; I am sad because Jordan injured his wrist and it is quite serious. It just does not fit with the evening that Jordan is not with us," Tuchel said. "I do not know the procedure; the doctor told me that he is in the hospital."
Henderson slipped as he put his hand on the board to hop over it. Henderson’s teammates immediately called over for medical trainers to tend to him. He was stretchered off the field.

It was Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane lifted England over Mexico. Bellingham scored two goals 98 seconds apart in the first half. Then, Kane converted a penalty to give England a two-goal lead.
"It was a crazy game. We had to fight," Kane said. "I can't really talk, but the occasion, the team, everything against us, we found a way."
The defeat handed Mexico’s first World Cup loss at Estadio Azteca.
"We’ve done something incredible tonight, no doubt about it, and we’ll enjoy it. And we’ll sing songs until we lose our voices on the plane and whatnot, but we’ll have a couple of days recovering, then it’s straight back to business in terms of facing Norway," Bellingham said.
England will play Norway in the quarterfinals on Saturday in Miami Gardens, Florida.

Doctors say 8 forgotten habits could help fight stress, obesity and chronic disease
Rates of chronic disease, obesity and stress continue to rise across America.
Experts warn that some of the healthiest habits from the nation's earlier centuries may have fallen by the wayside.
From walking as a way of life to eating seasonal foods and spending more time outdoors, they say some of these forgotten routines are worth reviving.
AMERICAN VACCINES THAT TRANSFORMED PUBLIC HEALTH OVER 250 YEARS: 'OUTWEIGHS HARM'
"America needs to get back to its roots healthwise," Dr. Marc Siegel, Fox News senior medical analyst, told Fox News Digital.
Check out this smart list.
Dr. Kenneth J. Perry, a physician based in South Carolina, said walking has decreased as people have moved to the suburbs.
"As Americans moved further out of the city center for more space and larger homes, they spent more time sitting in a car rather than walking to work," he told Fox News Digital.
AMERICA'S NATIONAL PARKS COULD ADD YEARS TO YOUR LIFE — HERE'S HOW THEY BOOST HEALTH
A study published in the American Journal of Preventative Medicine showed that prolonged commuting times have been directly linked to increases in BMI (body mass index), waist circumference and overall decrease in metabolic health, the doctor noted.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week (about 30 minutes a day, five days a week), which would include brisk walking.
Only about one in four U.S. adults meet the recommended guidelines for both aerobic and muscle-strengthening activity, per the CDC.
"We are a country of wide open spaces and beautiful vistas – we need to walk more and breathe our fresh air," Siegel added.
Exposure to morning light has been shown to support circadian health and better sleep, and sunlight is the body's primary natural source of vitamin D.
"Some individuals may have severe difficulty with sleep, and therefore are having difficulty regulating their personal day-night cycles," Perry said.
"It is well-known that early sunlight helps to regulate the circadian rhythm of animals and may be helpful in regulating sleep patterns."
THE '1776 DIET': WHAT AMERICANS REALLY ATE DURING THE NATION'S FOUNDING
Sunlight exposure can also have positive effects on health, the doctor said. "The hormonal balance that is regulated by the circadian rhythm can also lead to better weight management and blood pressure control."
Surveys show that nearly half of U.S. adults spend less than five hours per week in nature – but time outdoors is known to be a natural health-booster.
A landmark study of nearly 20,000 adults found that people who got at least 120 minutes per week in nature were significantly more likely to be in good health than those who spent no time outside.
Another review found that combining exercise with time outdoors was more beneficial than just exercise or nature exposure alone, with improvements seen in mental health and chronic disease risk.
There are some health benefits to turning in earlier, research has shown.
Observational studies have found that people with very late bedtimes often have higher risks of heart disease, metabolic disorders and mortality.
THIS ONE QUESTION MAY REVEAL WHETHER YOUR BODY IS GETTING THE REST IT NEEDS, STUDY FINDS
"As we know that the only steadfast way to lose weight is to be in a calorie deficit, if an individual is using the late night hours to overindulge, going to bed earlier may help maintain better overall health," Perry added.
The National Sleep Foundation recommends seven to nine hours of sleep for adults aged 18-64 and seven to eight hours for adults 65 and up.
Americans now get more than half of their daily calories from ultraprocessed foods, according to NIH-supported research.

"We know that excess calories, specifically calories from extra sugar in the diet, can lead to diabetes, obesity, hypertension and a multitude of downstream health problems," Perry said. "Local, minimally processed foods are going to be much better for the overall health of society."
Siegel echoed the importance of embracing more whole foods.
"We are a country of farmers – we need to eat our own fresh produce more and not the chemically laced products that can give us cancer and heart disease," he told Fox News Digital.

"We need to eat more at home, and treasure our great home chefs, who make everything from turkey to apple sauce, to fried chicken, to big healthy salads, to good old apple pie."
Gardening and growing food has also been linked to improved mental well-being, increased physical activity, reduced social isolation and better overall health outcomes.
A study published in BMJ Open found that older adults who performed more light and heavy housework had better physical performance — including faster chair-rise times (a measure of lower-body strength) and improved balance — than those who did less housework.
Encouraging older adults to perform more household activities could help ensure that they meet physical activity recommendations, particularly for those who don’t participate in regular exercise routines, experts say.
"Performing more household tasks can help individuals maintain strength and mobility. This is especially helpful for elderly individuals to maximize their physical strength and decrease the risk of being sedentary," said Perry.
Records show that communal meals were once a routine part of American life rather than just happening on special occasions.
