"CPF-OA: Invest balance into Endowus fixed income I'm frustrated that fixed income rates are up but CPF-OA is still at 2.5%. CPF-OA is not allowed to be put in money market funds even though SRS funds are. If I am not thinking of putting CPF-OA into equity investments is there any reason not to put all investable CPF-OA into Endowus fixed income like the Amundi global fixed income fund The main reason would be this is a fund not directly held bonds so NAV will go down if interest rates are increased. But it seems interest rates are close to peaking given the rapid rate hikes in past months."

"400-600 calorie restaurant/cafe (non-hawker but also non-salad) meals in Singapore What are 400-600 calorie restaurant/cafe (non-hawker) meals in Singapore Let's say you want to eat out on a normal day (non-hawker) instead of cooking at home or have a simple meetup with friends. You want to keep it healthy with a 400-600 calorie meal and do not want anything with too large a portion or too much oil grease cheese fat or junk carbs. No mall food no meh fast cafe food no overpriced chain food. (But also no salads or protein bowls specifically from "healthy" restaurants.) The logical dishes are"

"How to choose a GP doctor in your area I live in a condo (not in CBD) and there are several GP clinics near me within walking distance. One is part of a corporate chain of clinics. One is an old clinic serving the HDB blocks beside it complete with filing cabinets for paper patient cards and a queue of senior citizens [--] minutes before it opens. How do you choose which GP to go to as your regular GP I don't want to wait a long time when I need something like a standard blood test so was thinking the more corporate clinic is a better fit. But should I try them all and try talking to each doctor"

"Confused: Why don't doctors typically check if a man is getting enough magnesium daily An adult male need 420mg of magnesium daily. This is actually very difficult to get from natural food unless you are eating pumpkin seeds chia seeds spinach or swiss chard daily. You could also eat almonds or cashews but that would add a lot of calories to your diet. I'm positive most adult males globally do not eat the above foods daily or take magnesium supplements. Wouldn't it follow that most males do not eat enough magnesium from natural food Why don't doctors check this as part of annual health"

So either the US is wrong or most of us are not eating enough magnesium. The few foods that are high in"
