Many financial experts say 50% of your stock holdings should be international, with 25% of that in the U.S. We think that percentage works fine, but some experts are now saying that we may want to reduce our domestic exposure, which is often correlated to oil prices, by a bit.

Sitting directly opposite others creates bad vibes. The 'right-hand man' is more favored and others subconsciously credit the right-hand person with having more power than the one on the left side.

Here is a simple recipe for a whole-food version of a tasty cranberry beverage, what I call my Pink Juice: Place 1 handful fresh or frozen cranberries, 2 cups water and 8 teaspoons erythritol (a naturally derived low-calorie sweetener) in a blender and blend at high speed. Pour over ice and serve. This recipe has 25 times fewer calories and at least 8 times more phytonutrients than typical cranberry juice drinks. For extra boost, blend in some fresh mint leaves. You'll get a weird-looking green foam on top, but you're chugging down berries and dark, leafy greens, two of the healthiest foods on the planet. [2015] - Michael Greger
