Not only do stem cells keep you youthful, they can also regenerate tissues damaged by aging. While it may seem counterintuitive that eating chocolate could lower the risks of having coronary artery disease, chocolate is a stem cell–recruiting food. Cocoa powder contains bioactives called flavanols. Epidemiologists have long established a connection between the consumption of foods with flavanols and lower incidence of death from cardiovascular disease. [2019] - William W Li

Additionally, about 5% become millionaires through sales and sales consulting. [2005] - Jack Canfield

If you have a portfolio of $10,000 or less, you should either be thinking mutual funds (not ETFs) or be seeking to invest at a brokerage that won't charge you for trading ETFs.

In that case, consider a simple and all-encompassing "everything" (total ball of wax) ETF for your domestic stock holdings. [2013] - Russell Wild

We try to boost monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) closer to 50-55%, while cutting saturated fatty acids (SFA) down to 15-20% and adjusting total polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) to fill the gap. Putting all these changes into practice typically means eating more extra virgin olive oil (and high-MUFA vegetable oils) and avocados and nuts, cutting back on (but not necessarily eliminating) things like butter and lard, and reducing the omega-6-rich corn, soybean, and sunflower oils-while also looking for ways to increase high-omega-3 marine PUFAs from sources such as salmon and anchovies (or taking EPA and DHA supplements in capsule or oil form).

What exactly is positive expectancy? It simply means that the trading strategy should consistently produce a net gain in equity. This could mean either a higher average number of winning trades than losses, or a greater average proﬁ t per winning trade than loss per losing trade (reward-to-risk), or any combination of the two.
