Quotes of the Day

Animal-derived proteins that are good for Acid Watchers include sardines, salmon, tuna, halibut, turkey (light meat, no skin), chicken (light meat, no skin), yogurt, kefir, and eggs. Examples of vegetable-derived proteins include peanuts, oatmeal, cashews, beans (all types), tofu, edamame, walnuts, soy milk (non–genetically modified), hazelnuts, whole grains, quinoa, broccoli, spinach, kale, and spirulina. Beans and eggs, especially egg yolks, can be hard for some people to digest. I recommend that they be consumed in moderation. For best results, animal sources of protein should primarily be eaten in combination with vegetables, ideally prepared raw or steamed, for easier digestion. [2017] - Jonathan Aviv

An interior decorator is hired to come in and determine what new furniture should be obtained and where to place it. Most of the new furniture is rented. In the bedroom, you can dress up an old bed with a new bedspread. A dining or kitchen table can be disguised under a long, new table-cloth. Legs of furniture can be buffed and polished to hide scuffs, scratches, and stains. A new rug of even the poorest quality usually looks far better than an older, worn expensive rug. [2003] - Robert Irwin

Antioxidant content is one of the reasons I've singled out berries for special treatment. They are second only to herbs and spices as the most antioxidant-packed food category. As a group, they average nearly ten times more antioxidants than other fruits and vegetables. Shop for the reddest of strawberries, the blackest of blackberries, the most scarlet tomato, the darkest green broccoli you can find. The colors are the antiaging, anticancer antioxidants. [2015] - Michael Greger

Closing costs are anything but a drop in the bucket, typically adding up to between 1.5% and 4% of a home's purchase price. Common closing costs are a home inspection, real estate lawyer fees, land transfer tax and appraisal fees, among others. [2017] - Sean Cooper
