Issue #41  (Stay-at-home-mom to Developer) 11/25/19


I'm not a health-food nut myself, but I do try to eat as healthy as possible without breaking my enjoyment of food. Although I'd be hypocritical if I said I live this way, I think great advice for eating is the famous quote from Michael Pollan:

"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."

That's from his book, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto. Again, I'm the last person to be preaching about 'eating plants', and I don't think avoiding meat or animal products is the answer to all health problems. But overall I think there's lots of good evidence to suggest that a diet focused on vegetables and unrefined foods will give you the best opportunity to stay healthy longer.


Now on to this week's hand-picked productivity links!
