Probably the simplest would be to not designate a child as gifted. It marks them as different, which can act almost like a social stigma. Just let them grow up at their own rhythm, and see what happens. If they are good at school, they can

You should look after your health more, if you are young it won't affect but wait until you hit 40. Just saying, if you weight 100kg, even if you would be 2 meters tall you would still be overweight. You can check that according to any

Yes indeed almost 100% is an exaggeration, nuts are in general mostly fat, typically 70% to 80%. I think they are an awesome food by the way, shown to be very healthy, unlike oil. Its very different eating nuts from eating oil, because nuts

The problem is that counting calories is completely unsustainable if you are eating a lot of your calories via foods low in satiety like oils, which have very little volume per calorie count. You will be starving all the time, and won'

The body needs fats but many plant foods have some fat on it. Oats for example are 17% fat, so if you eat them for breakfast that is a great start. Most nuts and seeds are also almost 100% fat, plus many fruits and vegetables contain some f

This is a common myth, the amount of vitamins in olive oil is very modest compared to other foods. Eating olive oil for vitamins is a bit like smoking for getting oxygen, there are plenty of other ways much healthier to cover those nutritio

Eating whole foods is not about eating raw, that is different. I don't think the argument to eating raw makes much sense either, as we are the only animal on the planet that has evolved to eat cooked food and that has been the case for

I too used to use olive oil every day, but now I haven't used it for years. It's one of the main sources of hidden calories in food, it's very hard to lose weight without cutting it. One tablespoon of olive oil is 120 empty c

Eating the oil in its natural form, together with the whole olive, is not the same as eating the oil separately. The effect that has in your digestive system is not the same. Another example is eating fructose extract instead of a whole fru

It has to do with the processing, olive oil is a food extract. Olives are awesome, olive oil is not, it's not a health food unlike popular belief. It's not a whole food, most of the nutrients and the whole fiber has been taken out

These fake meat products shouldn't be much healthier than pink slime burgers made of ground beef and fat. Most burgers are made of 20 to 30% fat trimmings anyway, and the rest is ground beef. All types of oils are not good for us, oil
