Happy Sunday! Last year I ran an experiment where I completely deprived myself of information for one week. The thing is, we're drowning in information but starving for wisdom. This little experiment made a big impact on me and I tweeted about it last week. Here's the thread, if you're interested.

Alrighty, on to the Stir!

The World of Nutrition

Doctors spend 20 hours studying nutrition in medical school. Then they spend their career treating illnesses caused by poor diet. /source

Modern medical science is amazing. We can treat so many things effectively these days. But honestly most health issues and diseases could be prevented or treated with changes to diet. The US is one of the most obese countries in the world. It's a shame that there isn't more of a focus on helping patients with their diets and giving them sound nutrition advice. The easy route is to prescribe some pills to treat the issues rather than get to the root of the problem - diet. Obesity and being overweight is bad for your health. It's as simple as that. For men, even having over a 15% body fat can start to suppress testosterone levels (which is not good).

What does 15% body fat look like on a man?

As a man, make it a goal to stay in the 10%-15% range. Try not to go over. I'm currently trying to get back in that normal range. Don't let yourself slip too far. It happens fast. Take care of your health, exercise and pay attention to what you eat, even if you're young.

The World of Earth's Surface

70% of Earth’s surface is water. The largest countries by surface area are Russia (3.35%), Canada (1.96%), and China (1.88%).

The World of Wisdom

Inspiration and opportunity are perishable. When you have those two, start immediately.
