Rice and oatmeal are surprisingly glycemic (meaning they cause a sharp rise in glucose levels), despite not being particularly refined; more surprising is that brown rise is only slightly less glycemic than long-grain white rice. Nonstarchy veggies such as spinach or broccoli have virtually no impact on blood sugar. Foods high in protein and fat (e.g., eggs, beef short ribs) have virtually no effect on blood sugar (assuming the short ribs are not coated in sweet sauce), but large amounts of lean protein (e.g., chicken breast) will elevate glucose slightly. Protein shakes, especially if low in fat, have a more pronounced effect (particularly if they contain sugar, obviously). [2023] - Peter Attia

If a year’s worth of rent adds up to less than 5 percent of the market value of a similar home, renting is an attractive option. Vice versa, if rent works out to more than 5 percent, buying may make more sense financially. The 5 percent rule assumes you’re going to be a pretty aggressive investor — someone comfortable putting a good share of their savings into stocks — to keep up with the long-term wealth growth a homeowner might see. And if you have a generous pension plan at work where your employer matches your contributions, that’s a vote in favour of renting and being able to make bigger monthly deposits to that group retirement plan. [2021] - Erica Alini
