Low-protein (9 percent), very high-fat (90 percent) keto diets are therapeutic in certain circumstances, such as for the treatment of epilepsy in children; and very low-carb, low-energy diets can help reverse the symptoms of type 2 diabetes; but neither is sustainable nor desirable for most of us as a regular diet.

The longest-lived, healthiest populations on the planet are those who consume a lower-protein, high-carb whole-food diet. [2020] - David Raubenheimer

A prolonged latency is often seen in individuals who consume alcohol or other REM-suppressing medications. [2017] - W. Chris Winter

Most investors hold real estate for at least one cycle of the real estate market. A market cycle is the period in which a market goes from high to low, from a buyer's market to a seller's market. A standard cycle in the real estate market typically lasts as few as 5 and as many as 12 years. Some observers believe market cycles are actually lengthening, which means longer holding periods before you'll be able to realize a return. [2020] - Douglas Gray

Assets in a TFSA grow tax-free indefinitely, and no tax is payable when you eventually make withdrawals. It makes good sense to keep assets with the highest growth potential in a TFSA to take full advantage of this tax shelter: in other words, fill up your TFSA with stocks and keep low-growth assets, such as bonds and GICs, in other account types. [2021] - Dan Bortolotti
