Quotes of the Day

Consume 0.31-0.36 grams of protein per pound of body weight per day. If you weigh 130 pounds, that comes to about 40-47 grams of protein per day, of which 30 grams should be consumed in a single meal to maximize muscle synthesis. Since this minimum requirement can change from person to person, it is preferable to occasionally consult a dietitian, to make sure that a healthy, lean body mass is maintained. Protein intake should be increased slightly after age 65 in individuals who are losing weight and muscle. For most people, a 10-20% increase (5-10 grams more per day) is sufficient. [2018] - Valter Longo

If you're investing in major markets, there is no more space to build at the same time as there is a net migration into the cities. Simple supply and demand stipulates that prices will remain robust (taking into account the inevitable corrections) for the foreseeable future. [2017] - Calum Ross

There are several professional designations for property appraisers in Canada. The most common national designations are AACI (Accredited Appraiser Canadian Institute) and CRA (Canadian Residential Appraiser), both awarded by the Appraisal Institute of Canada. [2006] - Douglas Gray

Try to buy foods with fewer milligrams of sodium on the label than there are grams in the serving size. For example, if it's a 100 g serving size, the product should have less than 100 mg of sodium. Alternatively, you can shoot for fewer milligrams of sodium per serving than there are calories. Most people get around 2,200 calories a day, so if everything you ate had more calories than sodium, you would probably make it at least under the Dietary Guidelines for Americans' upper limit of 2,300 mg of sodium a day. Ideally, though, you'd buy mostly food without any labels at all. It's considered almost impossible to come up with a diet consisting of unprocessed natural foods that exceeds the strict 1,500 mg a day American Heart Association guidelines for sodium reduction. [2015] - Michael Greger

Schedule a dental appointment as early in the day and week as possible, ideally after a long weekend when the office air will have settled. Avoid Friday afternoon when office air may be fogged with bacteria. Boost your immune system with a healthy diet and probiotics for several weeks before an appointment. [2018] - Ellie Phillips
