I've been mostly a lurker here, but the topic of accident reduction, particularly by reduction of auto usage, has been a long-term interest of mine. It fits my overall philosophy of "live longer by not dying" that looks at the common ways people die, and tries to avoid them. It also helps that I'm a local news editor/publisher, and get all the police public information releases about the many ways people get killed in traffic (whether or not they are legally at fault).

I have a similar mix that I put in just about any bean or grain mix. My wife calls it my "orange paste". She tries to be in another room while I'm eating it, as she doesn't find it appetizing. I started doing it with steel cut oats, and began adding it to other cooked meals. My teeth didn't turn yellow, but my wife put aside dedicated utensils for me, since I was staining everything with turmeric and clove.

This thread looked interesting enough that I ordered a TICKR too. I'm probably a bit of an outlier, since I'm a 65-year-old who picks through CR practices and discussions like it's a buffet, adopting things that look interesting without having ever followed a strict CR routine (too nervous about BMI dropping too low at my age). I do cold exposure and TRF, though, exercise for a minimum of 4 hours per day (just over half of it walking, the rest a mix of resistance, flexibility, and balance exercises). My TICKR should arrive in about a week. If I'm not entering too late, and y'all think the data from someone of my hybrid regimen would be useful, I'm in.

The interesting thing is that I eat/do almost everything on that list daily, for reasons unrelated (as far as I knew when I added them to my daily routine) to BAT. I added cold exposure and wasabi specifically because of the studies linking them to BAT activation, but the rest (aside from metformin and camphor, which I don't use) I added to my routine at different times due to studies current to the time I added them.

I didn't notice this the first time I read this post. I've tried various homemade ketchups with various acceptable ingredients, and this looks promising, so I think I'll try it.
