1. Diet and Mental Health: The Evidence to Date:
Here’s the BLUFF:
"Nutritional psychiatry is a new field. The message of this paper is that the effects of diet on mental health are real, but that we need to be careful about jumping to conclusions on the basis of provisional evidence," principal investigator Suzanne L. Dickson, PhD, Institute of Neuroscience and Physiology, University of Gothenburg, Sweden said in the Medscape article covering the research findings.
The findings were published in the December issue of European Neuropsychopharmacology.
And..."While more research is required to support the role of dietary interventions as a therapy for mental disorders, there is already sufficient evidence to suggest that dietary interventions, as well as other lifestyle interventions such as physical activity, should be incorporated into routine clinical care from the outset to address the physical comorbidities associated with mental illness," Wolfgang Marx, PhD, head of the Nutraceutical Research stream at the Food & Mood Centre, Deakin University, Geelong, Australia, said.”
2. The Philosophy of Time Management | Brad Aeon | TEDxConcordia.
Is time money or something more? Is time really life? Brad Aeon’s TEDx talk arguing for the return of philosophy to the time management debate will make you rethink how you value your time and reconsider your hacks for time management.
“Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend.”
– Theophrastus.
“People are frugal in guarding their personal property; but as soon as it comes to squandering time they are most wasteful of the one thing in which it is right to be stingy.”
— Seneca
