I speak at events. One of the privileges is a stay at a premium hotel. Hilton, Marriot, Oberoi, and so on. Perhaps the most disturbing aspect of my stay has been the use of plastic bottles for water. That is now changing, thank God. For any hotel with thousands of
You may have seen movies about Superman growing up. Among his many superpowers was x-ray vision. In the very near future, you and I may develop superpowers just like him. Allow me to tell the story how. We live in a world of artificial intelligence. It appears that AI is
50,000 steps. That is how many I recommend you should be doing every day. Don't be shocked or walk away before you listen to why. A few decades ago, a Japanese scientist came up with the number 10,000. Since then, this number has come to be

Neurons that fire, wire! This could easily be one of the most powerful sentences you have ever heard about your mind, body, and life. So what does it mean when they say that your neurons wire when they fire? The story goes back to neurologist Donald Hebb, who first used
Bounce! I keep telling everyone I meet to make small, incremental changes to their lifestyle. Otherwise, you will bounce back and go back to where you started. Yet, despite all this advice, I find myself in the same position. Every few years, driven by a goal, I push myself to
Millions of people around the world have become habituated to falling asleep in front of the television. The proverbial man in the rocking chair asleep while watching. Do you use your television to fall asleep? What you watch will affect the thoughts in your head. Your sleep is the time
Your gut is full of microbiota of bacteria. Both good and bad. So, how does the microbiota control and regulate its own immune defense? To understand this, we need to understand the environment in your digestive tract. Your stomach is a hostile place with a pH of 2-4. This makes
