When you are introducing friends, be sure to put them in a great light by giving more than just their names. Tell something wonderful about them. [2009] - Leil Lowndes

Almost all of the high returns are found in the small microcap stocks with market capitalizations below $25 million. The down side is that these stocks are too small for mutual funds to invest in and hard to find for the average investor. [2000] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

E-mails sent out Wednesday through Friday will yield the highest open rates. The highest click rates are obtained on e-mails delivered on weekends. Start your e-mail campaigns on a Tuesday or Thursday and then test the waters from there. Once your campaign is established, try a weekend, and compare it to your other results. Avoid scheduling e-mail blasts on holidays and holiday weekends. The best time to send an e-mail blast is between 7 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. I recommend a maximum of once per week, and would average two to three times per month for any e-mail campaign that does not have a per-prescribed frequency. [2007] - Bruce C. Brown

Popcorn is a whole grain that takes less than 5 minutes to prepare. A hot-air popper is another inexpensive, useful appliance. There's an endless variety of savory, sweet, and spicy toppings you can use. I like the combination of chlorella and nutritional yeast. There are even one-minute whole-grain options: fully precooked bowls and pouches of brown rice and quinoa that can be microwaved and don't even need to be refrigerated--just heat and eat. [2015] - Michael Greger

When type 2 diabetics drank a small cup of chamomile tea after their meals for a few months, they got significant improvement in long-term blood sugar control compared to drinking the same volume of warm water or when pitted head-to-head against black tea. And the side effects? All good——lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, a decrease in inflammation, and improved sleep, mood, and antioxidant status. Chamomile tea and green tea appear to share the same mechanisms for blood sugar control: blocking the transport of sugars through the intestinal wall. [2023] - Michael Greger
