20 Small Ways to Get Out of Your Comfort Zone
“Get out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.”
Brian Tracy
I’m a big fan of doing the unusual thing. Sometimes in big ways. Often in small and daily ways to mix things up.
Why?
Because this habit is a simple and relatively easy way to:
Get out of your comfort zone.
And if you change your perspective on yourself from someone who sticks to the old and comfortable all the time to someone who likes to mix things up then it will feel more natural and easier to break out of your comfort zone when comes to bigger things too.
Because this hab...

How not go get cancer
The Global Burden of Disease project is a decades long international collaboration, based at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington, but involving researchers around the world. It was originally funded by the World Bank, and now receives its principal support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. GBD (not to be confused with golden brown and delicious) essentially tries to quantify the prevalence of diseases, and injuries around the world; the prevalence of associated disability; causes of death; and risk factors.

The New Deal and Recovery, Part 20: The Phantom Depression
George SelginIt was supposed to be a debacle.As the Second World War drew to a close, the nation’s leading economists feared that, once the armed services demobilized, at least 8 million men and women, perhaps many more, would be unemployed. That meant an unemployment rate of 12 percent—almost as high as the rate before Hitler raided the Low Countries, setting off the “ wartime boom.” If their forecasts were reliable, they meant that the postwar economy could end up being no closer to recovery than the prewar economy had been.A Worst ‐Case ScenarioOf course, such dire predictions weren ’t unconditional....

Mechanisms Linking Red Meat Consumption and Cardiovascular Disease Risk
A diet containing red meat comes with a higher risk of atherosclerosis and consequent cardiovascular disease, this much is well known. Researchers here look through epidemiological data in order to assess which are the more relevant of the mechanisms known to contribute to this relationship between diet and the development of fatty lesions in blood vessel walls. Their analysis suggests cholesterol level is not a relevant link, while mechanisms leading to increased chronic inflammation are important, as is the fact that red meat leads to a gut microbiome that produces significant TMAO, a metabolite that in turn negatively a...

Dr. Topol ’ s comment on LongCOVID and the heart is misleading/lacking context
By ANISH KOKA
It’s been a while but Anish Koka, a one time regular writer on THCB and occasional THCB Gang member, is back publishing up a storm on his Substack channel. You may recall that his political and clinical views don’t always mesh with some of the wooly liberals we feature on THCB (cough, cough, me), but we are delighted to be back publishing some of his pieces–starting with a look at a tweet from one of America’s most prominent cardiologists.–Matthew Holt
Given Twitter’s commitment to the truth in Medicine, I thought I would try to give them a hand by analyzing a semi-vi...

Should “Core Inflation” Include Jet Fuel?
Alan ReynoldsUnsurprisingly, airline fares generally rise and fall with jet fuel prices which, in turn, mirror global crude oil prices. Yet airline fares are part of the “core” Consumer Price Index (CPI), which supposedly excludes food and energy.Futures prices for crude oil and grain have soared since last December when Russia began to amass troops around Ukraine. That rise in global commodity prices, in turn, has greatly increased costs of producing and distributing everything from plastics to fertilizer and meat. And, of course, so ‐called “core” transportation services, such as airfares.In the CPI, airline...

Planning a “Picnic” for a Loved One in a Senior Living Community
Photo credit Pexels JeShoots
While most senior living communities offer an array of programs and events, activities directors often work with limited budgets and are challenged to meet their residents’ varied abilities and interests. I was fortunate to have an exceptional nursing home close to my house during my caregiving years, and my parents, my uncle, my mother-in-law, and even an elderly neighbor all resided there at some point.
There were plenty of activities and events offered year-round and on holidays, but the annual summer barbecue and picnic were by far one of the most anticipated events. This nursing home fea...

Journalistic Misunderstandings About the PPI
Alan ReynoldsAccording to CNN, “The Producer Price Index, which measureswholesale prices before goods and services reach consumers, rose 10.8% in May compared to where it stood a year ago. ”The PPI is not in any sense a measure of“wholesale” prices and has not been called that since 1978 (it was much narrower and simpler in the old days).An AP headline declares, “US Producer Prices Soar 10.8% in May as Energy Costs Spike.” No, the PPI isnot a measure of business costs for energy or anything else. The price businesses receive for their sales may at times be a cost for other U.S. business...

Sugar and Mental Health
Sugar tastes amazing and is in so many products that most people aren’t even aware of how much they are consuming daily.
Most people are aware that sugar isn’t a healthy food, but may not realize how detrimental sugar is to your overall health.
More recent research is showing a strong link between mental health and diet, suggesting that there is a two-way street between our bellies and our brains.
What has sugar in it?
When people talk about sugar, the first thing that comes to mind is the white, granulated stuff that the Brits pour into their tea.
