Here’s what our team has for you to bookmark & read this week

1. How to Be a Better Friend: Friendships are an essential ingredient in a happy life, so it’s time to give them the care and attention they deserve.

2. Fiber in Fruits and Grains Protects Against Diverticulitis: You might want to rethink avoiding grains completely or certain fruits because restrictive diet dogmatists told you to. Our diets are overly refined. Eating more whole fruits, especially apples, pears and prunes, can help our digestive health.

3. How Deep Sleep May Help The Brain Clear Alzheimer's Toxins: The brain waves generated during deep sleep appear to trigger a cleaning system in the brain that protects it against Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases.

5. This week’s Poetry Rx by The Paris Review: The Fucking Reticence

6. Is A Diet That's Healthy For Us Also Better For The Planet? Most Of The Time, Yes: A vast new analysis looked at 15 different food groups, like nuts, fish and red meat, ranking them based on how they influence health and the toll they take on the planet.

7. The Most Dangerous Way to Lose Yourself: “Identity fusion” might explain why people act against their own interests.
