Quotes of the Day

Having completed one set to failure, there is no advantage in doing a second set. The set will have taken between 90 and 120 seconds from start to finish. If your time falls significantly outside that range, make a note to adjust the difficulty the next time. On a machine, that means increasing or decreasing the weight. If you're new to strength training and have lost muscle mass, you might be able to do a workout three times a week. As you get stronger, that will decrease to twice a week, then perhaps to once a week. Research has also shown that it's inadvisable to do aerobic exercise on the same day as an MSTF session, as doing so may inhibit the benefits of the strength training. [2021] - Philip Shepherd

Alkaline water can be very helpful in managing reflux because it helps wash out pepsin and is good for pH balancing. Natural alkaline water has trickled through limestone for thousands of years, giving it a pH of between 8.0 and 9.0. Of the brands of alkaline water on the market today, almost half are naturally occurring. Alkaline water with a pH higher than 8.5 is best. [2015] - Jamie Koufman

Polyunsaturated fats in the context of whole foods behave differently than when they're extracted from plants and put into a bottle. Whole foods contain many antioxidative factors (antioxidants, minerals), and thus able to control the damage of free radical production that otherwise might occur when these oils are consumed in isolation, such as added oils. Whereas the consumption of isolated oils should be avoided to minimize risk of heart disease, cancer, obesity, and related chronic diseases, whole plant foods containing these fats (nuts, seeds, avocados, etc.) are generally nutritious when consumed in moderation. [2020] - T.

All moods have a cause. If you change the root cause, then your mood will follow suit. Furthermore, mood is a choice. It may not be a completely free choice, but you can choose which mood you spend the most time in. [2009] - Liz Miller

The BOJ and MOF are very active participants in the FX markets. Intervention has historically occurred when the yen moves by seven or more yen in less than six weeks. JPY crosses can become very active toward the end of the Japanese fiscal year (March 31). [2009] - Kathy Lien
