How Much Omega-3 vs Omega-6
All the so-called “nutrition experts” telling us to eat unsaturated fats instead of saturated fats are missing the point.
There are natural saturated fats that are perfectly healthy to eat… and manufactured unsaturated fats that are at the root cause of many of our health problems.
That’s because it’s the ratio of omega-6 fats and omega-3 fats in our modern diet that’s actually the problem.
Let me explain…
Omega Fatty Acids In Our Diet
Omega-6s are fatty acids commonly found in vegetable oils. That includes safflower, sunflower, corn, cottonseed, sesame and soybean. They’re also in salad dressings, shorteni...

Lin-Manuel Miranda: It's 'No Accident' Hamilton Came To Me On Vacation
In his award-winning musical “Hamilton,” Lin-Manuel Miranda makes the case that if Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton had taken a break from work during one particularly high-pressured summer, he could have gone onto become one of America’s greatest presidents. Instead, Hamilton refused to go on vacation with his family and made the worst decision of his life by starting an affair. The career-killing mistake is now infamously known as one of America's first political sex scandals.

Spicy Lessons From Veggies: Yoga Lessons From the Farm

When the yoga season started this summer at Amee Farm in Pittsfield, Vermont, the tomatoes were seedlings, roughly an inch tall, growing indoors.

The act of living that dharma, however, is called tapas or burning zeal. All the plants at the farm share a similar tapas. As do the trees in the Green Mountain National Forest surrounding the farm. They don't try to be anything other than wha...
