Here are some easy and quick dietary and lifestyle changes you can make to reduce the risk of developing a chronic disease or cancer. Diet: Eat several types of fruits and vegetables every single day. No exceptions and no excuses. This is what your body and brain need. This category excludes grains and starchy veggies, but includes: Leafy greens (Swiss chard, collared greens, kale, beet greens, lettuces...) Legumes (lentils, beans, soybeans, chickpeas) Roots (sweet potatoes, carrots, beets...) Cruciferous (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage...) Night shades (tomatoes, bell peppers, eggplant...)

So many people think it's pointless to get an EV, since we get most of our electricity from fossil fuels in the USA. I think this is incorrect, and I explain why below. Let's get some stats first. https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=427&t=3 In the USA as a whole, electricity comes from the following sources: 60% from fossil fuels 18% from nuclear 22% from renewable sources What is Tesla's "gas mileage" if electricity comes from fossil fuels only? According to this federal agency ( https://www.eia.gov/tools/faqs/faq.php?id=667&t=6 ): A gas turbine power plant produces 12.90 kWh/gallon of gasoline. A Tesla model Y long range uses ~284 Wh/mile (ranges from 250-320, depending on the speed, temperature...). Therefore, a Tesla Y gets 45.4 miles per gallon of gasoline. Since there are small losses during charging and electric motors are not 100% efficient, let's say this is 40 mpg. Since 40% of the US electricity comes from non CO2-producing sources,
