Quotes of the Day

Don’t obsess about counting calories—get your diet right, and your protein appetite will manage the calories for you. Accompany the high-protein foods with lots of vegetables and fruits, beans, and whole grains, which will contain good carbs and fats. That way you will also satisfy your appetites for all three macronutrients at the same time. Try adjusting up and down until you feel in control of your appetites—hungry by mealtimes and satisfied after and between meals. [2020] - David Raubenheimer

Income/Financing Ratio: 65% of income should be the maximum financing (mortgage principal and interest) cost. E.g., if rent is $2,000/month, financing should not exceed $1,300/month (2,000 x .65 = $1,300). [2013] - Julie Broad

Global Nomad portfolios (single, globally diversified portfolios that have no home‐country bias) would work well for couples that don't know where they want to retire. They would also suit couples retiring in an emerging‐market country. Emerging‐market countries have small, volatile markets. Retirees who choose to invest with a “home‐country” emerging‐market bias would be taking unnecessary risk. Instead, they could spread their risk across a multitude of global economic regions. [2018] - Andrew Hallam

My favorite way to incorporate turmeric is to use fresh turmeric root. Any large Asian market should carry it in the produce aisle. My quarter teaspoon of dried turmeric recommendation translates into about a quarter inch of fresh turmeric root. I use a grater to add my daily quarter inch into whatever I may be cooking (or right onto a cooked sweet potato), or I throw a raw slice into a smoothie. You probably won't even taste it. Fresh turmeric has a much more subtle flavor than dried. Be careful--it can stain clothing and surfaces. Consuming turmeric with soy may offer a double benefit for osteoarthritis sufferers. [2015] - Michael Greger

The word leverage simply means the ability to do more with less. [2002] - Robert T. Kiyosaki
