Last summer I rigged up a pool in the garden, for my son. However, he only used it a couple of times. So, I'm presently using it as a cold plunge. The temperatures are dropping and the water starts feeling coldish. Especially so this morning. I'm going to buy a water thermometer and some cleaning tools. And keep using it until possible or feasible. The plunge sure feels great but afterwards at times I feel myself anomalously hungry. -
I'll have to buy a suitable dynamometer. Only issue with this kind of measurements is that, it is not a constant, with training you can improve your grip strength substantially. Does this improve your mortality HR in a few weeks? And what if you have to discontinue training? Does it worsen your mortality HR in a short time?

I started to supplement with L-carnosine, as part of Sandra Kauffman's Panacea protocol, which I modified a little. Kauffman's model is conceptually satisfying and she has cited a lot of research An interesting video on L-carnosine.

I started to post in that forum as well, it's more oriented to pharmacological interventions for longevity and the detail in this regard is extreme, the latest research is published and discussed with all minutiae.

The same mixture but soymilk instead of cow milk. A decent 90 is the result. Please note how DIAAS of cow milk = 144 is much superior to DIAAS of soy milk=99. This constitutes evidence that dairy products (nonfat or lowfat) can be used very advantageously in a CR regime since you can use less (lower calories) with the same amount of actually digested EEAAs-

Nice, I've tried a mixture of 100 gr bread and 250 gr milk, the DIAAS in bread is a modest 60 (limiting AA lysine), but in the mixture turned to 109

You are welcome, all the best for your efforts at improving health & longevity

The most recent record of ice bath: 4 hours +. Wim hof sounds like a wimp now!!!

This may mean that vegan is all right with you, and all right with many other people, but not that it is the exclusively healthy diet for everyone, with all other regimens favoring an early death. Dr. Greger wears huge pink glasses when speaking about the vegan regime. Many people noticed that, including some of his staunch supporters.
-
There could be so many reasons for that, not excluding the abuse of boiled eggs and chicken nuggets, abuse which Dr. Carvalho does not suggest, on the contrary...
-
Jim Pierce, with all due respect, belief is one thing but truth can be different. I would encourage you, if you have the time, to watch or listen to the following video (already posted in this same thread). Dr. Carvalho follows a vegan diet, but that does not prevent him from fact-checking the affirmations of Dr. Greger, who at times behaves more like a salesman than like an objective disseminator of science. This does not mean that the diet proposed by Dr. Greger is unhealthy. This just means that Dr. Greger is not a perfect example of scientific honesty. He remains an impressive salesman though.
-
I've read 3 of his books, including his most recent one. They are not overwhelming. They are good at encouraging a healthy dietary regimen but from the scientific point of view, they are too biased toward his declared vegan agenda. Veganism is a choice, often an ethical one, the scientific literature does not support the absolute and overwhelming benefits Dr. Greger touts around. Of course he's doing a good job in disseminating an overall healthy diet, although I'm sure his proposals do not fit everyone. I'd encourage you to keep following his advise which is in the upper percentiles of quality as far as the internet influencers are concerned.

Very good dish, I had a similar one today :
-
What you learn from Dr. Greger is not the complete picture, rather a filtered outlook. He likes to omit information and distort the data to the advantage of his vegan agenda. That's a well-known aspect. Of course, he's waaaay better than so many crazy influencers out there.

Hi all, hope everyone is well. It's good that the forum has been resuscitated, there is some good reference material in here.
