Quotes of the Day

Rinse canned foods that contain sodium. To flavor your food, substitute salt with herbs, spices, lemon, lime, vinegar, white or red wine. Avoid condiments that are high in salt, e.g. soy sauce, teriyaki sauce and anything that contains MSG (monosodium glutamate). Avoid salted butter and sauces/dressings which are high in salt. Eating foods that are high in potassium, such as bananas, beans, dark leafy greens, potatoes, squash, yogurt, fish, mushrooms and avocadoes, can help you balance out some of the harmful effects that sodium has on your blood pressure. [2016] - Eva Coleman

Cow's milk and soymilk are the only ones that provide a good dose of protein. If you like the taste of almond milk or other plant-based milk, they are fine to use in recipes and as a flavored beverage. Just don't expect them to be the nutritional equivalent of cow's milk. Strained varieties like Greek and Icelandic yogurt tend to be higher in protein and lower in carbohydrate (lactose) than traditional yogurt, but both kinds are nutrient dense. When choosing full-fat cheeses, opt for strongly flavored ones like sharp cheddar, blue cheese, and feda to get a big flavor punch in a small amount. [2018] - Joy Bauer

Let the prospect chase you. It's the best follow-up. 1. Create a sense of urgency by telling a compelling story about achievement lost because of delay. 2.

For a more chic option than a chain coffeehouse, consider meeting in a museum cafe. Don't worry about a museum admission fee, as you can usually enter without payment. Try the coffee shop or lounge of an elegant hotel or meet for coffee and dessert in a upscale restaurant. The setting is likely to be quiet and the service unobtrusive. [2005] - Sharon Romm
