00:05:34.810 --> 00:05:41.560
go Red Sox. In top news. At 77 years old, runner

00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:45.860
Jeannie Rice exhibits outstanding fitness, rivaling

00:05:45.860 --> 00:05:49.819
that of a 25 -year -old. Researchers are studying

00:05:49.819 --> 00:05:52.939
her remarkable endurance, as most runners experience

00:05:52.939 --> 00:05:57.860
significant performance declines after 70. Rice

00:05:57.860 --> 00:06:00.399

and aims to compete in the Boston Marathon today.

00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:07.420

00:06:07.420 --> 00:06:10.839
with youth levels. revealing insights into healthy

00:06:10.839 --> 00:06:14.779
aging. Consistent training, a nutritious diet,

00:06:14.920 --> 00:06:17.579
and a passion for running contribute to her success.

00:06:18.860 --> 00:06:22.079

never too late to start exercising and fostering

00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:30.139
a belief that age is just a number. In business

00:06:30.139 --> 00:06:34.540
news, the ongoing tariff war is reshaping the

00:06:34.540 --> 00:06:39.139
competition between PepsiCo and Coca -Cola. PepsiCo,

00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:42.019
which produces nearly all of its soda concentrate

00:06:42.019 --> 00:06:45.959
in Ireland, is facing a 10 % tariff on its products.

00:06:46.620 --> 00:06:49.980
This puts Pepsi at a disadvantage, as Coca -Cola

00:06:49.980 --> 00:06:52.439
produces most of its concentrate for American

00:06:52.439 --> 00:06:55.600
sodas domestically in Atlanta and Puerto Rico,

00:06:55.779 --> 00:07:00.019
reducing its tariff exposure. With Pepsi's market

00:07:00.019 --> 00:07:02.759
share dwindling, the new tariffs complicate efforts

00:07:02.759 --> 00:07:07.180
to revive U .S. soda sales. Meanwhile, the trade

00:07:07.180 --> 00:07:09.939
conflict could also affect independent bottlers,

00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.720
raising concerns over costs and competition.

00:07:13.699 --> 00:07:18.120
The cola wars continue to heat up. In crypto

00:07:18.120 --> 00:07:22.120
