Quotes of the Day

With a few exceptions, such as glioblastoma or other aggressive brain tumors, as well as certain lung and liver cancers, solid organ tumors typically kill you only when they spread to other organs. Breast cancer kills only when it becomes metastatic. Prostate cancer kills only when it becomes metastatic. You could live without either of those organs. So when you hear the sad story of someone dying from breast or prostate cancer, or even pancreatic or colon cancer, they died because the cancer spread to other, more critical organs such as the brain, the lungs, the liver, and bones. When cancer reaches those places, survival rates drop precipitously. [2023] - Peter Attia

Don’t obsess about counting calories—get your diet right, and your protein appetite will manage the calories for you. Accompany the high-protein foods with lots of vegetables and fruits, beans, and whole grains, which will contain good carbs and fats. That way you will also satisfy your appetites for all three macronutrients at the same time. Try adjusting up and down until you feel in control of your appetites—hungry by mealtimes and satisfied after and between meals. [2020] - David Raubenheimer

Seven key habits to develop as a sales expert: prospecting (find ideal customers), establishing rapport, identifying needs, presenting solutions (invite comments and make recommendations, rather than attempting to induce the customer to by), answering objections, closing the sale, and getting resales and referrals (the key to success in business). [2004] - Brian Tracy

More than two servings of fish per week are associated with significantly higher incidence of type 2 diabetes. There is no significant benefit from using fish in your diet at all. The healthful omega-3 fat can be ingested via a supplement (even a vegan DHA/EPA supplement). I do not recommend fish oil capsules regularly because each capsule contains about 1,000 milligrams of oil, and this high dose of fish fat may have a negative effect on diabetes. Instead 150 to 300 milligrams a day is sufficient. Consider the algae-sourced DHA supplements available or DHA/EPA Purity. [2013] - Joel Fuhrman
