Bipolar disorder does seem to run in families. Almost everyone with bipolar disorder had their first episode of bipolar disorder in extremely stressful circumstances. Later episodes seem to be triggered by less severe stresses. [2009] - Liz Miller

Eat a daily minimum of ½ pound of raw fruit, above pH 5. Fruits are an essential part of a healthy diet. Just as vegetables provide unique vitamins and minerals, fruits do the same. Plus, fruits are hydrating, are low in calories, and provide plenty of fiber (especially whole fruits eaten with the peel). Approximately one cup of chopped or sliced fruit or one medium-sized piece of handheld fruit is equal to ½ pound and will satisfy your fruit serving for the day. For most handheld fruits, the equivalent will be one medium-sized piece of fruit. [2017] - Jonathan Aviv

Adults need 700mg of calcium a day as part of a well-balanced, healthy diet. You can usually get enough calcium as part of healthy eating. For example, your daily requirement for calcium can be achieved by consuming three portions of dairy products such as a combination of a 200ml glass of milk, a yogurt, plus a matchbox-sized portion of Cheddar cheese. If you don't eat dairy products, you'll need to include lots of other calcium-rich foods: green leafy vegetables, like broccoli and curly kale; almonds; pulses, beans and lentils; sesame seeds and tahini; dried fruit, including figs; edamame; tofu and fortified soya drinks. [2019] - Diana Moran

Sam Dogen, the man behind the popular blog Financial Samurai, says nobody should buy a car that costs more than 10 percent of their gross annual income. I bought my current car five years ago for $4,500. If I spent $50,000 on a car, it might annoy me if an errant shopping cart rolled into its door. My lower-priced car also makes it easier to relax when I’m driving in tight traffic. And I don’t have to worry about wrecking expensive wheels if I get too close to the curb while parallel parking. I’m not saying everyone should follow my lead, or Sam Dogen’s. But by worrying less, I live well. [2022] - Andrew Hallam

Always to have in the account, at the very least, ten times the amount of margin required for a typical trade. [2009] - James Chen
