Quotes of the Day

I'm no longer a dogmatic advocate of any particular way of eating, such as a ketogenic diet or any form of fasting. It took me a long time to figure this out, but the fundamental assumption underlying the diet wars, and most nutrition research-that there is one perfect diet that works for every single person-is absolutely incorrect. [2023] - Peter Attia

It's better to use a dry toothbrush than a wet one. Gently stoking your teeth with a dry tooth brush and rinsing thoroughly will remove more bacteria and plaque than using a wet brush with regular toothpaste. It's less than ideal to brush your teeth right after a meal. If you brush too soon after eating, the saliva will not have time to recalibrate to its slightly alkaline level of pH 7. You can rinse with salt water to neutralize the saliva again, and floss if desired. [2013] - Nadine Artemis

Many men and women experience a sense of urgency as they age, which makes them more likely to rush into a relationship, fearing they'll never get another chance.

Notwithstanding market conditions, always start with a lower offer, say, 75 percent of the asking price. If the broker doesn't want to present your low offer, find another one who will.

In any negotiation there exist realities that are hard to change. [1991] - Roger Fisher
