The attorney's job is to protect the company, its products and its intellectual property--before there is a product or a business. [2005] - Robert T. Kiyosaki

When it comes to preventing reflux, the type of exercise you do is important. Movements that require intense strain of the abdominal wall, which is essentially your core, should be avoided, as should those that require a sustained crouched position and others that repeatedly put your head below your waist. These include heavy weight lifting, sit-ups, crunches, leg lifts, and similar abdominal exercises (though a properly done “plank” exercise may be well tolerated). Some reflux-safe exercises include cycling; brisk walking; gentle yoga; strength training (no heavy weights); and bodyweight training with short bouts of moderate to vigorous activity. [2017] - Jonathan Aviv

It takes a month of job searching for every $10,000 of income you are trying to replace. So, if you're trying to find a $70,000 job, plan on being out of work seven months. It may even take more time to find a job in this New Economy. The average worker who is laid off can expect a 25% to 40% cut in pay when s/he does go back to work. [2016] - Dan Quillen

Cruciferous vegetables such as kale, cabbage, collards, broccoli, cauliflower and turnips are twice powerful as other plant foods. A 20% increase in plant food intake generally corresponds to a 20% decrease in cancer rates, but a 20% increase in cruciferous vegetable intake corresponds to a 40% decrease in cancer rates. 28 servings of vegetables per week decrease prostate cancer risk by 33%, but just 3 servings of cruciferous vegetables per week decreases prostate cancer risk by 41%. One or more servings of cabbage per week reduces the occurrence of pancreatic cancer by 38%. [2011] - Joel Fuhrman

Now we have a tool to help us understand our own individual carbohydrate tolerance and how we respond to specific foods. This is called continuous glucose monitoring, or CGM. Typically, my healthy patients need to use CGM only for a month or two before they begin to understand what foods are spiking their glucose (and insulin) and how to adjust their eating pattern to obtain a more stable glucose curve. Fructose doesn't get measured by CGM, but because fructose is almost always consumed in combination with glucose, fructose-heavy foods will still likely cause blood-glucose spikes. [2023] - Peter Attia
