“I have just three things to teach:
Simplicity, patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and in thoughts,
You return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
You accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
You reconcile all beings in the world.”

One point was given for each of six behaviors:
not currently smoking or quitting smoking ten or more years ago,
body mass index under 30,
high vigorous physical activity,
high intake each of tomatoes and fatty fish, and
low intake of processed meat.
This gave a possible score of six points, three based on diet.

WILLPOWER X GLUCOSE
carry out a particular behavior, the rate of glucose consumption jumps in the pertinent brain region. If you listen to a symphony, your auditory cortex elevates the metabolic rate. If you learn something new, it’s the hippocampus that fires up. Tap dancing sparks the motor cortex. And when you’re displaying willpower, thinking, “Don’t do it, don’t do it, you’ll regret it….” it’s your frontal cortex that kicks into gear.

SVR mortgages: advantages and disadvantages
 | When interest rates are low, your payments may go down |  | If interest rates go up, so will your payments. Even an increase of just 1% could add up to £83 a month to your repayments for a £100,000 mortgage |
| Arrangement fees for SVR mortgages tend to be lower than for trackers or fixed rates. There may be no arrangement fee charged at all | | Standard Variable Rates are not famed as the cheapest mortgage rates available, so you may be paying more than the best tracker or discounted rate mortgages around |
| There are generally no Early Repayment Charges, which allows for flexibility if you want to overpay, pay off the mortgage early, or remortgage to a new deal |

People die, for the most part, because they are sick. Yes medical errors occur (even to healthy people).

More risky procedures. More errors. This doesn’t mean that we must not strive to do better. But all those articles about how “hospitals kill more patients than …” are not genuine.

For most of us, a house possesses all the worst qualities of an investment: it is illiquid, highly leveraged (usually), and drastically reduces the diversification of your portfolio. The tax benefits aren’t always as good as they sound. And if you are one of the people who believe that housing prices will always continue to go up, I have one word for you: bubble.

When cancers evolve to the late stage of metastasis they are robust and equipped with genetic, or epigenetic, tricks that can thwart most cancer drugs.11 Given mutation rates, often enhanced by genetic instability, and the number of cells spawned—1012 or more—it is inevitable that rare cells will exist that are intrinsically drug resistant.
Cells have had three or more billion years to develop survival skills through random shuffling of their genomes—the substrate for all evolutionary change.

As tumours expand, they solicit new blood supplies—angiogenesis—and become diffuse in the tissue of origin. In the face of increasing competition for space and resources, cells seek refuge elsewhere, by escaping into the blood circulation or lymphatics to establish residence as a diaspora in other tissues. Cancer then becomes a territorial hijack of essential tissue functions.
