Quotes of the Day

Try to buy foods with fewer milligrams of sodium on the label than there are grams in the serving size. For example, if it's a 100 g serving size, the product should have less than 100 mg of sodium. Alternatively, you can shoot for fewer milligrams of sodium per serving than there are calories. Most people get around 2,200 calories a day, so if everything you ate had more calories than sodium, you would probably make it at least under the Dietary Guidelines for Americans' upper limit of 2,300 mg of sodium a day. Ideally, though, you'd buy mostly food without any labels at all. It's considered almost impossible to come up with a diet consisting of unprocessed natural foods that exceeds the strict 1,500 mg a day American Heart Association guidelines for sodium reduction. [2015] - Michael Greger

It feels harder to acclimate to a new time zone when traveling eastward than when flying westward. The eastward direction requires that you fall asleep earlier than you would normally, which is a tall biological order for the mind to simply will into action. In contract, the westward direction requires you to stay up later, which is a consciously and pragmatically easier prospect. [2017] - Matthew Walker

The more nuts and seeds (almonds, almond butter and paste, Brazil nuts, cashews and cashew butter, chestnuts, flaxseeds, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, peanuts and peanut butter, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, squash seeds, sesame seeds and tahini, sunflower seeds, and walnuts) consumed, the longer the telomeres. For every ten grams of nuts or seeds consumed per day, telomeres were 8.5 units longer over the course of a year. Ten grams is roughly one tablespoon of nuts, which is equivalent to: nine cashews; or seven walnuts; or six almonds; or four teaspoons of flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, or sunflower seeds; or two teaspoons of sesame seeds. [2019] - William W Li

Change the titles of the salespeople to sound less salesy--for example, "director of corporate communications." [2007] - Chet Holmes

Angels are rich individuals who have a passion to help new entrepreneurs. Most major cities have angel groups that support budding new entrepreneurs financially as well as provide advice on how to become rich, young entrepreneurs. [2000] - Robert T. Kiyosaki
