Jeez! My resting is about 75. Might be my HBP talking. "If all the world's a stage and all the people merely players, who in bloody hell hired the director?" -- Charles L Grant

Ha! Two years ago, when I was at my physical best (lifting weights, yoga, Pilates, running/aerobics), my resting heart rate was 46 (measured as I came out of a slumber), the rate just sitting in a chair reading or watching TV was 54, and the rate while doing minor activity like driving was 66. Trying to get back to that now, but man is stress a bane to that! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Baxter" <truthseeker...@hotmail.com> To: "SciFiNoir2" <scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 9, 2009 9:06:41 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: RE: [scifinoir2] I give you one more reason... "... (resting heart rate is 60)..." Keith, you have no notion of the jealousy coursing through me right now. Last time my resting rate was that low, I was receiving Last Rites.

I eat a lot of spinach. Stay away from meal bars mostly now, due to the bread and sometimes sugars (got a glucose problem now, Lord help me). I eat a lot of hemp bread. The brand I buy--French Meadow--gives you 15% of daily iron, 26g of protein, 19% of daily fibre, 25% of magnesium, 15% of copper--all in two slices. I've been diagnosed as borderline diabetic (or, I'm already into Type II, depending on who you listen to). Given that I'm not overweight, workout six days a week (resting heart rate is 60 when I'm out of shape, typically around 50 when I'm on my exercise program), and only indulged in ice cream a few times a week it's my family genes coming to play. (I've had no significant white bread, flour, sugar, rice, or potatoes for years).The unfortunate thing is that diabetes often goes hand-in-hand with high blood pressure and high cholesterol. The former's okay for me, the latter was high normal for me--again, despite diet. (And both factors exist in my family at any rate). So I've been exploring all kinds of grains/seeds/beans like quinoa, buckwheat, lentils, etc., to help meet the goals of giving me good sugars, protein, fat, without the bad sugar and fat. Fortunately I've never eaten as much meat as most guys my size, so that's not been a big deal. The real fun is sussing out fact from fiction. For example, I used to eat tons of soy, now I've been told that in the form usually obtained in the West, it's not good for me. Then I have people swearing that even the "good" form has plant estrogens which adversely affect male hormones (my doctor, an Indian vegetarian), told me that. Now I'm really into the whole Glycemic Index, and that's really fun, let me tell you. Fortunately my overall eating habits are very good, so it's more tweaking the diet. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adrianne Brennan" <adrianne.bren...@gmail.com> To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, September 9, 2009 9:23:43 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] I give you one more reason...

I must point out that those "often overlooked" body parts are eaten in places other than here in the South. Pigs' feet are enjoyed as a gourmet delicacy by French-Canadians, and sweetbreads are to be found in restaurants from coast to coast. Some of those Midwestern farm types and cowboys out in Montana and the like eat a lot of parts that others would want to throw away. And of course, all you have to do is venture to other countries around the world, from France to Mexico, African nations to South America, and find people high to low who make use of parts Americans often waste. Doesn't mean I'll ever let any liver pass my lips, though! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mr. Worf" <hellomahog...@gmail.com> To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, September 4, 2009 4:13:43 AM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] I give you one more reason... There are a couple of chefs that do radical cooking ideas. There is one here in the bay area that cooks with chemical concoctions. Another cooks with body parts of animals that are often overlooked (unless you live in the deep south) like lungs, brains etc. Maybe that is what they are doing?
