Quotes of the Day

Being part of a group protects mental health. In contrast, people without regular human contact become isolated, eccentric and unwell. [2009] - Liz Miller

A diet low in cholesterol but high in animal protein would increase blood cholesterol more than a diet low in animal protein. Whereas cholesterol and saturated fat can easily be removed from animal foods, as in the case of skim milk and lean cuts of meat, the removal of protein would result in a far less appetizing dinner party. [2020] - T. Colin Campbell

When investing in real estate, there is a very good chance that someday, someone will try to sue you. When you own a property free and clear, this is typically evident on the public record, because there is no bank lien on the property. Therefore, you are essentially holding up a sign that says, "I have lots of money that you can try to take!!" Lawyers (especially those paid on the outcome of a lawsuit, as most lawyers of this type are) are reluctant to pursue rental owners who have a lot of leverage. [2015] - Brandon Turner

GICs don't lose value when interest rates rise, neither do they get a boost when yields fall. This means that during a bear market for stocks-which often leads to falling interest rates-your GICs won't deliver the offsetting benefit you should expect from bonds. Since bonds and GICs each have pros and cons, you might consider a balanced approach and use both in your portfolio. For example, you could use GICs for about half of your fixed-income allocation and use a bond DTF for the other half. [2021] - Dan Bortolotti

Resveratrol-a polyphenol found in grapes and wines-has a protective effect when it comes to diseases of the brain, especially Alzheimer's, according to recent research. Pterostilbene-another polyphenol, similar to resveratrol, found in blueberries-is far better absorbed and three to four times better utilized than resveratrol. It supports a healthy lymphatic system by promoting healthy blood flow and circulation, nitric oxide synthesis, better control of blood pressure, and protecting the endothelial cells. [2021] - Gerald Lemole
