Quotes of the Day

Beans, peas, corn, wild rice, barley, steel-cut oats, oatmeal, tomatoes, squashes, berries, and fresh fruits are examples of the most favorable carbohydrates sources. Beans, green peas, berries and tomatoes are at the top of the list. Squashes, intact whole grains (such as steel-cut oats), wild rice, quinoa, wheat berries, and even sweet potatoes would be more favorable choices than white potatoes, which would be at the bottom of this list. Regardless of the relative merits of these natural carbohydrates, things get considerably worse when they become processed. A perfect example is cereal that consists of finely ground flour combined with fruit juice to sweeten it. [2011] - Joel Fuhrman

Harvard Health references a study published in the CDC journal Preventing Chronic Disease that found that people who continued working past the age of sixty-five were three times more likely to be in good health than those who retired earlier. And older people who continue working also have lower odds of developing dementia. The socialization aspect of working can increase longevity. If the job requires some physical activity, it can also boost physical health. But perhaps most importantly, part-time employment gives them ikigai, a Japanese term that means a sense of purpose, a reason to be. Having purpose boosts happiness and fights mortality. The money retirees earn from a part-time job can also reduce financial stress.  [2022] - Andrew Hallam

When the term of your mortgage ends, you have the option to renegotiate or seek refinancing. Refinancing is a good move if interest rates have decreased. It also makes sense if you've experienced a significant improvements in our gross debt-to-service ratio. On the other hand, refinancing may not be such a wise move if changes in the value of your property and your personal financial situation conspire to limit your ability to borrow. Speak with your mortgage broker and, if you wish, your accountant and financial planner before you refinance. [2020] - Douglas Gray

Monounsaturated fats are considered a good type of fat when consumed in moderation. They help increase our body’s HDL levels while lowering LDL levels. They’re found in a wide variety of foods, such as meat, whole milk, olives and olive oil, avocados, almonds, cashews, and peanuts. With the exception of red meat, monounsaturated fats are typically good choices for people with acid reflux disease. However, a subset of monounsaturated fat is not good for those with acid reflux—vegetable oils made from seeds. Cold-pressed vegetable oils are always the best option for people with acid reflux. If possible, choose extra virgin olive oil. [2017] - Jonathan Aviv
