Their findings draw attention to a highly speculative theory on consciousness called the Penrose-Hameroff 'orchestrated-objective reduction' model. Proposed by the highly respected physicist Roger Penrose and the American anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff, the model suggests networks of cytoskeleton tubules that lend structure to cells – in this case, our neurons – act as a kind of quantum computer that somehow shapes our thinking.
The Second Chapter – Choosing
“That is what we need, if we are going to improve our...positions. If we do not change our thinking, we can never hope to change our ...positions. What most of us fail to realize is that a tooth grows from the inside out. So we much change our inner thoughts. As we change our inner thoughts...the outward change is bound to come about. So let us choose good, healthy thoughts."
The new version of the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2025-2030 offers a significant change from previous versions. The core of the new guidelines is to go back to "real food", not "processed and packaged" food. It encourages a commonsense focus on healthy eating rather than a set of "limits" or "maximums." In this short series of articles, each week will will look at an overview of one of the recommendations. This is an introduction to these guidelines, you will find the full version of the guidelines online at: https://realfood.gov/#resources. These articles are sourced from an Epoch Times article: The Science Behind the New Dietary Guidelines.

The First Chapter – Discovering It
"You are the possessor of a Great and wonderful power."
"Millions of people are complaining about their lot, disgusted with life..."
"Once you recognize this power and begin to use it, you can change your entire life and make it the way you would like to have it."
A Health article titled Your Body is a Minature Universe. Here's How to Keep it in Harmony offers the good advice of "the best remedy for calamity is to avert it; the best remedy for sickness is prevention." I then introduces us to the concepts of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). It starts with the concepts that the human body is a microcosm–a miniature representation of the universe.
Eat More Protein, Especially Animal Protein
Previous protein intake recommendation was 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. These guidelines are a minimum, and not an optimum. This threshold was intended to be the minimum needed to maintain nutrient adequacy. Previous guidelines suggested the minimum quality fuel rather than the optimal quality fuel.

😴 Sleep is not a luxury. It is biological repair.
While you rest, your body shifts into rest-and-repair mode — the parasympathetic state where true healing happens.
When you sleep:
🧠 The brain detoxifies
Your lymphatic system clears waste and inflammatory byproducts that build up during the day.
💛 Hormones rebalance
Cortisol lowers. Growth hormone rises. Blood sugar stabilizes.
🛡️ The immune system strengthens
Your body produces and regulates immune cells while you sleep.
🌿 Tissues repair
Muscles rebuild. Cells regenerate. Inflammation decreases.
🪐 Memory and emotions process
Sleep integrates learning and regulates mood, helping reduce anxiety and depression.

| Tarocchi Cards |
Tarot emerged in northern Italy in the early 15th century at the height of the Renaissance. Card games were a fashionable diversion among aristocratic courts. Wealthy families commissioned ornate decks to play a game called tarocchi. The exact rules have not survived intact it seems that Tarocchi is a trick-taking game a bit like bridge. Using a special trot deck the game involved bidding for tricks. Play involves following suit, or trumping, and scoring points. Players aim to capture high-value cards, particularly the powerful trump cards (The Fool, The World, the Sun, the Moon, The Angel). Players bid to declare how many tricks or points they think that they can win. Play typically moves counter-clockwise and players must follow the suit led if possible; if not they can play any other card, including a trump. The highest trump wins. If no trumps are played, the highest card of the suit led is the winner of the hand.
A 2025 study showed young children videos of either a robot or a peer grabbing something that wasn’t theirs or refusing to share. Then they asked “was the behavior right or wrong?” The children’s verdict was clear. Stealing and refusing to share were always wrong. Study authors concluded that “morality is present even in the youngest children–and it is powerful.”

Eat Real Foods, Avoid Highly Processed Foods
The new focus on eating whole foods rather than highly processed foods is common sense. Many of our nutrients that are essential for physical life, such as antioxidants and vitamins, are found in whole foods, but there are also numerous unknown nutrients in whole food. A quick request from AI shows that just recently discovered substances such as Vitamin A5, Queosine, Leucine, Trimethylglycine, and Betaine are just a few. Eating Whole Foods helps ensure that people don't miss out on essential nutrients.
