Quotes of the Day

Canned beans and tuna are processed. So are cartons of vegetable broth and quick-cooking brown rice. These are health-boosting processed foods that can make getting a nutritious meal on the table easier, faster, and less expensive. [2018] - Joy Bauer

I normally use the canned lookback periods because this is what everyone else is looking at and I don’t want to be late to the party or get caught anticipating a move that doesn’t happen. For example, when using stochastics, I normally stick with the 14, 3, 3 parameters that most software packages use. I don’t need to get fancy and try to find the best parameter for every market. I typically use 25 and 75 as my overbought and oversold lines because that way it will include more signals. [2003] - Marcel Link

As we age, it’s also important to retain flexibility by stretching and doing practices like yoga and tai chi that help to maintain balance. Flexibility and a good sense of balance can also help to prevent injuries. As for how much you should exercise, the answer is that we don’t know yet. There’s a commonly held belief that 10,000 steps a day is the magic number for staying healthy, but I have to tell you there isn’t much scientific evidence to back that up. If your stride is a little longer than two feet, it will take a little more than two thousand steps to walk one mile. If you’re active with everyday activities on a regular basis, it’s possible that adding just one mile to your day could be enough to extend your life span and health span. [2020] - Nir Barzilai

Edamame is about as whole a soy food as you can get. After all, these are soybeans still in their pods. You can buy them frozen and just throw a handful into some boiling water anytime you want a healthy snack. They cook in about 5 minutes. All you need to do is strain them and, if you're like me, crack lots of fresh pepper onto the pods and nibble the beans right out. (You can also buy them pre-shelled, but then they're not as fun to eat.) [2015] - Michael Greger

Ditch the idea that you have to find a perfect investment market. It doesn't exist. It's not in Edmonton. It's not in Phoenix. Every single market has positive and negative aspects. Some are better poised for capital appreciation. Others are more stable. And still, some markets are declining. You can make money in all of these markets if you know what you're doing. So it's not necessarily about the market. It's more about matching your strategy with the market and the stage of the real estate cycle that market is in. [2013] - Julie Broad
