Even though brown rice is a whole grain, I no longer recommend its consumption because of significant arsenic contamination of most of the brown rice available for purchase in the United States--even organic brown rice and wild rice. Arsenic is a causative factor in many cancers, and it also promotes heart disease. Recommended intact whole grains include wheat berries, steel cut oats, quinoa, buckwheat, barley, millet, teff, and amaranth. [2020] - Joel Fuhrman

Having a will makes good sense even if you don't have kids, because it gives instructions on how to handle and distribute all your worldly possessions. A living will (also known as an advance healthcare directive) tells your doctor what, if any, life-support measures you prefer. A medical (or healthcare) power of attorney grants authority to someone you trust to make decisions regarding your medical-care options. The simplest and least costly way to prepare a will, a living will, and a medical power of attorney is to use a high-quality, user-friendly software package (e.g. Complete Canadian Wills Kit), and then, if you prefer to be cautious, have them looked over by a lawyer. Be sure to give copies of these documents to the guardians and executors named in the documents. What makes a will valid is that two people witness your signing it. [2019] - Eric Tyson
