Quotes of the Day

Compared to couch potatoes, people who exercise regularly have lower inflammatory cytokine levels, respond more successfully to vaccinations, and enjoy a more robust immune system. Immunosenescence is a natural process that happens with age...but people who exercise may be able to delay it until the end of life.  [2017] - Elizabeth Blackburn

Teeth grinding, or bruxism, is usually not seen during sleep, but rather in the transitional periods between sleep and wakefulness. Most dentists treat bruxism with mouth guards--a physical barrier between one molar and its mate. Very occasionally medications are used. But finding out the underlying reason why a patient is awakening during the night and treating it can often by itself greatly reduce or eliminate bruxism. [2017] - W. Chris Winter

Each of us is born with a life purpose. Identifying, acknowledging, and honoring this purpose is perhaps the most important action successful people take. To be "on purpose" means you're doing what you love to do, doing what you're good at and accomplishing what's important to you. [2005] - Jack Canfield

I’m heavily biased toward silver. The mixture of physical metals that I prefer for the at home portion of my physical allocation is 10 percent to 50 percent gold, and 50 percent to 90 percent silver. The quantity you keep at home depends on the size of your investment, but it’s typically somewhere between 3 to 100 ounces of gold, and 100 to 10,000 ounces of silver. Always buy 0.999 fine silver. [2008] - Michael Maloney

Most whitening products contain peroxide as the main ingredient. The problem with peroxide is created by something called a hydroxyl-free radical, a by-product of bleaching that causes damage to the gum--damage that may be permanent. In addition, many whitening toothpastes contain abrasive polishing agents to remove some of the surface layer of your tooth, the part most often stained. But remember, this layer offers your tooth the most protection from infection and a barrier to make teeth less sensitive. I consider that a very well-known brand of whitening mouth rinse should be considered a co-carcinogen and that using the product may increase your risk for oral cancer. Stay clear of products that claim to whiten teeth. [2025] - Ellie Phillips
