Quotes of the Day

The first generation of wearables (such as Jawbone UP, Fitbit tracker original, Fitbit Ultra, Fitbit Flex, and Misfit Shine) could, using motion sensors, roughly tell when someone was asleep or awake. However, the major problem was that you could be awake--but not moving--in the middle of the night, and the device would classify that as sleep. A new generation of sleep trackers that can record more aspects of your physiology, for example, skin temperature, skin conductance and heart rate. Some may, or will eventually, have the ability to detect changes in the pattern of heart beats, called heart rate variability. Such measures, in combination with motion sensors, could, in the future, potentially improve the identification not only sleep and wakefulness, but also distinguish light sleep (N1 an N2), REM, and deep sleep (N3). At this time, the testing of these devices indicates they're able to detect light sleep and REM but are not so good with deep sleep and wake. [2021] - Judith R. Davidson

Popcorn is a whole grain that takes less than 5 minutes to prepare. A hot-air popper is another inexpensive, useful appliance. There's an endless variety of savory, sweet, and spicy toppings you can use. I like the combination of chlorella and nutritional yeast. There are even one-minute whole-grain options: fully precooked bowls and pouches of brown rice and quinoa that can be microwaved and don't even need to be refrigerated--just heat and eat. [2015] - Michael Greger

If there is one type of food that I would eliminate from everyone's diet if I could, it would be fructose-sweetened drinks, including both sodas and fruit juices, which deliver too much fructose, too quickly, to a gut and liver that much prefer to process fructose slowly. Just eat fruit and let nature provide the right amount of fiber and water. [2023] - Peter Attia
