Re: Re: Shangri-La Diet/ centenarians healthy despite some deficiencies

CR need not be that complicated. Of course if you enjoy that sort of stuff, that’s another story.

A while ago, Jeff posted this which made me see the forest for the trees:

After that post, I stopped worrying about micro -managing every morsel which I did not find an enjoyable task. I also think it could leave to obsessiveness and mental health counts too. YMMV.

What caught my eye about this particular diet for CRers in general is the concept of new food as a eustress point for the mechanism of

stress, adaptation, and regulation of homeostasis.

This could be implemented by incorporating massive variety of food sources, recipes, and cooking methods.. and not eating the same old foods on rotation.

At a macro and micro nutrient level, macro/micro nutrients should be cycled but average out to optimal at a week or even monthly level.

Eating the standard recommendation of macro and micro nutrients on a daily basis has always troubled me knowing that some vitamins and minerals interfere with each other.

I'd like to see two separate experiments..

1) fixed food source, optimum nutrition vs. extreme variety of food sources optimum nutrition.

2) optimum nutrition balanced out daily vs. optimum nutrition balanced out weekly vs. optimum nutrition balanced out monthly
