get what you want from the call:.
Representatives
Are People Too.
Don't forget the voice on the other end
of your customer service call is usually a
person once you make it through the robots.
They are not personally responsible
for whatever problem you're experiencing,
so treat them respectfully.
What I'll tell them is, 'Look,
I know that you don't have anything to do with this.' , Craig dos Santos, negotiation consultant, via NPR.
I know you're trying to help me, but I want to tell you what happened. , Craig dos Santos, negotiation consultant, via NPR.
Be Human.
I'll say something like, 'Hey, hang on one second, sorry, my stove's on, and...I'm cooking food for my mom.' , Craig dos Santos, negotiation consultant, via NPR.
That might open a short conversation – is it
dinner where you are?

CBS reports that the new rules would
be one of the most significant federal
actions ever taken to tackle medical debt.
According to a KFF Health News-NPR investigation,
an estimated 100 million Americans have medical debt
which forces them to take extra work or lose their homes. .
No one in this country should
have to go into debt to get
the quality health care they need, Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States, via CBS.
These measures will improve
the credit scores of millions
of Americans so that they will
better be able to invest in their future, Kamala Harris, Vice President of the United States, via CBS.
According to the Biden administration,
the new rules will be developed next year. .
The decision has been praised by patients and
consumer groups who have been pushing for the federal
government to boost protections against medical debt.
This is an important milestone in our
collective efforts and will provide
immediate relief to people that
have unfairly had their credit
impacted simply because they got sick. , Emily Stewart, Executive director of Community Catalyst, via CBS

Research Suggests , High Fiber Diets , Come With Myriad of Health Benefits.
NPR reports that a recent review of studies on fiber-rich
diets found links to lower risk for major health problems
like obesity, diabetes, cancer and cardiovascular disease.
Fiber provides fuel for trillions of microbes
that live in the gut, producing chemical
messengers that influence health.
The U.S. government's dietary guidelines suggest
eating 14 grams of fiber for every 1,000 calories. .
However, NPR reports that only about 9% of women
and 3% of men meet those daily recommendations.
According to researchers, the best source
of fiber is from a number of plant-based foods,
like whole grains, beans, seeds and nuts.
Foods like sweet potatoes, avocados, pears, asparagus,
brown rice and pumpkin seeds are not only a good source
of fiber, but also vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients.

brown rice and pumpkin seeds are not only a good source

Salads can be another good source
of fiber if iceberg lettuce is
substituted with cabbage or kale.
NPR recommends taking small steps to introduce
more fiber into your diet in order to give the
gastrointestinal tract time to adjust.
As your daily intake of fiber
is increased, keep track of how
different high-fiber foods affect you. .
At the same time, it is very important to drink plenty of
water, which will help fiber move through your system and
prevent it from hardening, causing gas and constipation.
