Re: A Journey of Mindfulness--the Remaking of Life in Midstream.
Dilemmas and Guilt. I've been fascinated by what I've learned over the last 15 or so months when it comes to the chronic lifestyle diseases (obesity, Type II diabetes, dementia, hypertension, vascular disease, heart attack, stroke, and many cancers). I'd long bought into the conventional wisdom that...

Re: A Journey of Mindfulness--the Remaking of Life in Midstream.
Warning: this one is mostly just using journaling to reflect on some aspects of where I've come in the past year in hopes of generating seeds of ideas for honing my lifestyle regimen for the months ahead. It's apt to be a dull read. I decided to go back and look at some numbers from a year ago. On 3...

... Same here. We are willing to spend on health. All of our labs continue to look good. We do not add sugar to anything, but I have added trehalose to my daily routine for it's neuroprotective and autophagy inducing properties. It is the sugar in mushrooms and seaweed but does not cause the same s...

Re: A Journey of Mindfulness--the Remaking of Life in Midstream.
If you can somehow figure out how to take a BP measurement during exercising, you'll see much higher numbers. A maximum effort lift can very briefly send it up to 250/110 in a healthy person. This is why record setting power lifters may experience nosebleeds. The BP is high enough to burst the flim...

Re: A Journey of Mindfulness--the Remaking of Life in Midstream.
If you could measure your blood pressure as well, you'd probably find it to be sky high during strength training. Think of it as an engine with the heart being the fuel pump. If you floor the gas in order to accelerate fast, the pump will pump harder. Likely you feel more spent with the HIIT, becau...

Re: A Journey of Mindfulness--the Remaking of Life in Midstream.
I used to have a smartwatch but I found that once I understood how the scoring worked, I'd start gaming it, so I gave it away. For example, "sleep score" depends on how often the accelerometers are triggered when you toss and turn. Thus I perfected the art of turning in bed without moving...

Re: A Journey of Mindfulness--the Remaking of Life in Midstream.
Some unexpected observances. My Oura risn isn't optimized for being a fitness tracker, but it does give me better information than I was getting without it. I've been surprised by some of the stuff. -I noticed my heart rate gets higher during strength training than is does during my HIIT workouts on...

Re: Whole-Food, Plant-based Diet is ERE
'Processed' is definitely a continuum. Some countries are adopting labeling that assigns food items on a processing scale. Even chopping up a vegetable is technically processing (and for things like broccoli, there are even alleged nutritional benefits to chopping it then cooking it compared to just...

Re: Whole-Food, Plant-based Diet is ERE
Although I wound up being somewhat of a devil's advocate in the discussion, it wasn't really my intent. I'm 100% in favor of WF-dominated nutrition, and whether or not someone chooses to make animal protein and fat a part of that is an individual choice I respect either way. I'm far from carnivore i...

@theanimal agreed. But the corn and soy industry are generally selling most of the products to exactly the meat industry. ... I think biofuels has passed animal feed for both corn and soybean consumption in recent years. Corn is 40% ethanol and 35% feed (varies a little year-to-year with demand), l...

Re: Whole-Food, Plant-based Diet is ERE
... McDonald’s get much of their beef and chicken nuggets from Keystone Meats who when you go and look it up, is also owned by Tyson on the back end. So McDonalds’ advertising is essentially advertising to people to go buy Tyson meat products. This isn’t meant to be sinister or conspiratorial or an...

... In other words, I've used the ERE framework to optimise my diet for budget, health and taste simultaneously. How could a WFPB diet improve things for me from there? Honest question.

Another month has gone by. No precise financials to report.

Intuitively I think o...

Re: You Don't Need Health Insurance
@iDave- Your rate is lower because the insuror is able to spread the risk around via a large number of people versus an individual plan. This is why there is the requirement for everyone to sign up at the same time and there needs to be X% of employees participating. So yes, your plan is cheaper th...
