Quotes of the Day

Some foods and supplements are healthy for your telomeres, and some just aren't. A whole-foods diet that features fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, legumes, and omega-3 fatty acids is not only good for your telomeres, it also helps reduce oxidative stress, inflammation, and insulin resistance--factors that can shorten your healthspan. The more that people eat legumes, nuts, seaweed, fruits, and dairy products, and the less they consume red meat or processed meat and sweetened sodas, the longer their telomeres in their white blood cells. [2017] - Elizabeth Blackburn

Systems using three different moving averages usually produce signals when the shortest period moving average crosses both longer moving averages, or when the shortest moving average crosses the middle one and then the middle one subsequently crosses the longest. Although crossover signals can often be exceptionally profitable, those traders that use them must be prepared for frequent losses resulting from common whipsaw action. The whipsaw is simply an unavoidable fact of trading with moving averages. [2009] - James Chen

Research has revealed that poor sleep quality and/or insufficient sleep and chronic stress have a direct relationship to weight gain and acid damage. Glucocorticoids (GCs) are a class of steroid hormones released by the body during psychological or emotional stress. When GCs are being produced at a fast clip, the result is greater pepsin production, an increased chance of developing or worsening GERD and stomach ulcers, and a propensity to store more abdominal fat, which is linked to acid reflux and increased chances for developing Barrett’s esophagus. [2017] - Jonathan Aviv

Job-hopping works best when the economy is strong and there are plenty of job vacancies employers need to fill. That isn’t to say you can’t hop your way to better pay in an economic downturn. But, generally speaking, you’re likely to have less negotiating power in a job market with high unemployment and few openings. Software developers and staff accountants who’d never quit turned out to earn 10 percent less than the job-hoppers in their field. But operations managers and administrative assistants who had stayed put were earning around 20 percent more than new hires. For nurses, there wasn’t much of a difference between job switchers and job stayers. [2021] - Erica Alini

To be successful as a business owner requires: A. Ownership or control of systems, and B. The ability to lead people. [1999] - Robert T. Kiyosaki
