Lymphatic Facial Massage
I am intrigued by this method of skincare – lymphatic facial massage. I am incorporating it in my morning powerwalks.
Trader Joe’s Oat Rice Crispy Choco Bars
One small piece is 1/9 of entire box (1/3 of one bar). Hence one small piece has
- 3 g total fat (that’s a lot!)
- 5/3 g saturated fat
Best to pace oneself! Not a daily XL-indulgences.
Is Dr Dhand Really Knowledgable on Nutrition?
Dr Dhand’s video on diabetes
Synopsis of Rogers’ words:
Dhand videos get 1,000 to 100,000 more views on youtube than Peter Rogers. They disagree on nutrition. In Dhand’s video on diabetes he says it’s caused by eating too much carbohydrate = opposite of the truth.
Here’s Dr. Roger’s prediction: Dhand will hear about his video. Read the papers on diabetes. Make a new video about diabetes and nutrition that tells the truth. The video may get “shaadow baanned”.

Editor:
The problem is in not specifying the difference between processed & unprocessed carbs. They seem to agree that processed carbs should be avoided, but Rogers emphasizes that FAT is part of this avoidance equation.
Carbohydrates are long chains of sugar molecules that are found in many foods, including:
- Starchy vegetables: White and sweet potatoes, peas, corn
- Legumes: Beans, lentils, chickpeas, lima beans, and kidney beans
- Whole grains: Brown rice, oatmeal, whole-wheat bread and pasta, quinoa, buckwheat, and barley
- Fruits: Apples, berries, and melons
- Non-starchy vegetables: Asparagus and zucchini
Carbohydrates are important because they:
- Provide vitamins, minerals, and fiber
- Slow down digestion and absorption, which helps you feel full longer and prevents blood sugar spikes
- Provide a lasting source of energy
- Can help lower LDL or “bad” cholesterol
- Are more nutritious than processed or refined sugars, which are often called “empty calories”
The healthiest complex carbohydrates are not processed or refined.
Note that seed & veggie OILS are prime examples of ultra-processed carbs. Avoiding them is very important.
Simple eating is best!

The Timing of Exercise Affects Colorectal Cancer Risk, Study Says
Dec 13, 2025
Story at-a-glance
Early- and late-day exercise (around 8 a.m. and 6 p.m.) reduced colorectal cancer risk by 11%, with this two-peak activity pattern showing greater benefits than other exercise timing schedules
Morning exercise between 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. reduced breast cancer risk by 26%, likely because it helps lower estrogen levels during their natural daily peak around 7 a.m.
Evening exercise between 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. specifically benefited men, reducing prostate cancer risk by 25% through improved melatonin production, which helps regulate processes that protect against tumor growth
Early morning exercisers showed a 13% lower risk of developing high blood pressure over seven years, while combining morning and evening activity provided similar cardiovascular benefits
Exercise timing should align with your chronotype (whether you’re a morning or evening person), as misaligned exercise patterns may increase cardiovascular strain and reduce overall benefits
