- The Danger of Financial Overtraining - by Jordan Grumet earnandinvest.com
I know people who are totally on top of their money, worth millions of dollars, yet they are visibly stressed all the time. They are financially secure, highly optimized, and entirely unhappy.
Financial overtraining happens when we get so deep in the woods that the process itself becomes a source of pain. We get so efficient with all the tips and tricks that, instead of getting the results we actually want—peace of mind, freedom, security—we just feel worse. We become penny-wise and pound-foolish with our own well-being.

- Can fasting help you live to 100? economist.com
Savouring my first post-fasting meal, I thought I had caught a glimpse of what Longo’s ideas could mean for improving my longevity.

- Banning ultra-processed food is not a nanny-state issue. It’s common sense | Simon Jenkins | The Guardian theguardian.com
As the amount of UPF we eat rises, so do rates of cancer and diabetes. Riddled with additives that are crammed into tiny print on the sides of packs, such food constitutes 57% of Britons’ energy intake. This is the highest in Europe, comparing with 14% in France and 13% in Italy. Being overweight or obese affects 63% of adults in England, among the highest percentage in Europe. There now appears to be incontrovertible evidence that such a diet heightens the risk not just of diabetes and cancer but cardiovascular disease and dementia.

Much of the emotional suffering in the world comes from the substitution of power for value. The curse of our times is that so many people have developed the habit of seeking to feel temporarily more powerful when they feel devalued. This leads almost inevitably to power struggles and some degree of abuse of others, if acted out, or if held in, to some level of depression.

When people talk about innovation in healthcare, they have in mind a new malaria vaccine or a cure for Alzheimer’s disease. But these breakthroughs, despite the continued investment of hundreds of millions of pounds in research and development, are increasingly rare. The big gains in the future are likely to involve adaptations of existing technology such as mobile phones to enable the delivery of new forms of care in new ways by new players.
