About 7 hours is the optimal duration of sleep. Every 1 hour a night decrease in sleep below the 7-8 hour threshold is associated with 6% higher risk of total cardiovascular disease.

I often see situations where people in retirement have non-registered mutual funds and the taxable distributions are being reinvested. Don't do that! During the income phase, any interest, dividends or capital gains that are distributed from non-registered GICs, GIAs, bonds, mutual funds etc. should be paid out to you as income rather than compounded or reinvested. Compounding your GIC is simply compounding your tax problem. Have the interest paid out to you at the time you're taking income. [2019] - Daryl Diamond

Use xylitol gum or mints after every meal, snack, and drink to alkalize your mouth and support the development of healthy biofilm. If your gums bleed as you brush them, this is a signal to brush the area more thoroughly, not less, since the improved circulation you will create by brushing will help the swelling go away before any permanent damage happens to your gums. If you have previously noticed bleeding gums but they stopped bleeding, this may not be a good sign. This could signal that gingivitis progressed and became the next stage, which is a painless, nonbleeding, more serious gum problem called periodontal disease. [2018] - Ellie Phillips

Siberian ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) has among its many actions, the ability to stabilize lymphatic vessels by protecting and enhancing the endothelial cells (the ones on the lining) of the lymph system. Another supplement that seems to help with protecting the various parts of the lymph system is Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum), a rich source of resveratrol. Additionally, both pleurisy root (Asclepias tuberosa) and inmortal (Asclepias asperula) can help stimulate lymph drainage from the lungs. All these can be found on Amazon or in health food stores. [2021] - Gerald Lemole
