Quote of the Day
“And in life, it is all about choices we make. And how the direction of our lives comes down to the choices we choose.”
― Catherine Pulsifer
A gut feeling (something’s wrong)

Keep calm & (don’t) stress out
There are different types of stress. Some stress is actually good (gets you motivated, gets you pumped up for performance, etc.). Acute stress is bad enough, but chronic stress is worse because it doesn’t let up; it can kill you. For the complete story, visit here.
Coffee, cola and chocolate, oh my!
Americans love caffeine. Whether it’s a steaming, hot cup of java that helps jolt us into the morning, a big cup of diet cola that gets us through the mid-day slump, chocolate to help improve our mood or the chewable/drinkable stimulants that keep us awake for late night driving or studying, we love having caffeine throughout the day.

Fun fact:
“You are what you eat”
“You are what you eat” has come to into the English language by quite a meandering route. Anthelme Brillat-Savarin wrote in 1826: “Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai ce que tu es.” (Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are). (Source)
