Using common staples like canned beans, frozen vegetables, quick-cook whole grains, and spice mixes, Jeff shows you how you can feed your family healthfully in no time for about four dollars a day per person. The DVDs also include grocery store walk-throughs, shopping tips, and information on how to decipher nutrition labels.

One of the best studied bioactives in green tea is the polyphenol called EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate). Green tea has sixteen times the level of EGCG compared to black tea. EGCG reduces harmful angiogenesis and cancer growth, lowers blood pressure, improves blood lipids, restores homeostasis of immune cells, and has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Green tea technically covers a wide range of beverages, from sencha to jasmine to oolong tea. Drinking two to three cups of green tea a day is associated with a 44% reduced risk of developing colon cancer. Chamomile tea is a popular herbal tea made with the dried petals of the chamomile flower. Chamomile contains bioactives like apigenin, caffeic acid, and chlorogenic acid that have antiangiogenic activity. [2019] - William W Li

Buyers should not assume that real estate will constantly appreciate and never go down, or that if they don't buy "now" the opportunity will never arise again. History shows that real estate markets fluctuate over time. Waiting for the market to slow and correct itself, so real estate can be purchased at more favourable prices, can pay substantial dividends. [2013] - Dan S. Barnabic

There is a lingering societal belief that interest rates have to go up, but the reality is that they will stay low for a very long time. Interest rates will be kept low so long as debt levels remain historically high. Even when interest rates aren't historically low, it is almost always a good idea to borrow to invest. [2017] - Calum Ross
