I have already detailed our defence systems and foods in my previous posts, which help boost those systems in detail. Today, I will discuss Li’s framework with his patients to help them prevent and fight diseases. He explained everything in his book “Eat to Beat Disease”.

This framework is a nutritional plan named the 5*5*5 framework. It’s a program that guides us to make good food choices, not a weight loss diet plan. Most diet plans establish restricting or eliminating food choices due to which we feel deprived and not able to continue them for a more extended period or make it a habit. But the 5*5*5 framework is based on our personal preferences, says Li. It means it gives us the liberty of eating whatever we want. The only condition is that it should benefit at least one defence system. It is the main reason it’s easier to include…

The skill of understanding ratios and similarity carries over from triangles to form another part of being an Adult in a democratic society. If mathematics is a logical language that we must all keep current in our memory, and sharp in our understanding, then learning that particular language is also a key part of Adulting, is it not?

2.) Write a book, story, blog post or tweet…

A big stretch always feels great

“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

–George Santayana, The Life of Reason, 1905.

  (and I guess it’s time to actually find and read that book…)

   History matters, and learning history matters, not just so we can say ‘oh, it’s happening again,’ but so that we can stop it from happening again.  We are the most flexible species on this earth, and we are the only ones who use tools to make other tools.  So, let us do that.  Build new tools to solve these difficult problems and prevent history from repeating itself, damn us.

  That is the duty of an…
