The Reason Why We Can't Control Everything
The Dichotomy of Control
Perhaps one of the most useful concepts in Stoicism is the ‘Dichotomy of Control’. This basically guides us into exerting our energy and focus on things which we actually have control over. To use this we must first learn to determine the things in which don’t have control over.
In the opening lines of Epictetus’s handbook the Enchiridion, the stoic says:
“Some things are in our control and others not. Things in our control are opinion, pursuit, desire, aversion, and, in a word, whatever are our own actions. Things not in our control are body, property, reputation, command, and, in one word, whatever are not our actions.”
Epictetus is basically reminding us about where we should focus our energy, a lesson I wish I had learned earlier in life.

Is Keto Diet Harmful?
Ketogenic diet or keto diet for patients with diabetes. Does it help to reduce high blood sugar and insulin? What is normal blood sugar on keto? What are the complications of the keto diet? Can every diabetic go on a keto diet? What are the benefits and risks of the keto diet for patients with diabetes? Can patients with kidney problems or heart problems go on a keto diet? How to deal with side effects and complications of the keto diet. How about constipation and electrolyte abnormalities such as sodium and potassium problems on the keto diet? Cancer and diabetes on the keto diet? Doctor Ergin explains all these complicated medical topics in this relatively short and concise video.
Keto or ketogenic diets are thought to lower insulin, a critical hormone that produces an anabolic state inducing weight gain. Keto diets may questionably and indirectly improve cardiometabolic function and induce weight loss.
Ketogenic diets restrict carbohydrate/sugar to cause nutritional ketosis and typically limits carbs to 20-50 grams daily. Restricting carbs induces glycogen depletion and ketone production from the mobilization of fat stored in fat tissue.
Following a keto diet may improve blood sugar levels while also reducing the need for insulin. However, as with most diets, the keto diet is no exception and carries its own risks. Be sure to discuss it with your doctor or the SugarMDs team before making any drastic dietary changes. Especially patients who are on insulin have to be extremely careful and consult with an endocrinologist.
A precursor for type 2 diabetes is being overweight. With that being said, the vast majority of type 2 diabetic patients are overweight. So, a high-fat diet seems a little odd right?

What does Hotel California really mean?
"Hotel California" is the title track from the Eagles' album of the same name and was released as a single in February 1977. Writing credits for the song are shared by Don Felder (music), Don Henley, and Glenn Frey (lyrics). The Eagles' original recording of the song features Henley singing the lead vocals and concludes with an extended section of electric guitar interplay between Felder and Joe Walsh.
The song has been described as being "all about American decadence and burnout, too much money, corruption, drugs and arrogance; too little humility and heart." It has also been interpreted as an allegory about hedonism, self-destruction, and greed in the music industry of the late 1970s. Henley called it "our interpretation of the high life in Los Angeles", and later said: "It's basically a song about the dark underbelly of the American dream and about excess in America, which is something we knew a lot about.
But what is the true meaning of the song?
