Good points. When fasting (like now) and during prickleyballs games, I have my proprietary electrolyte mix. K/Mg/Na.

How do you feel about eating heaps of plant matter that are chock-full of nitrates and nitrites?
Some, many, but all?
Any radical diet that eliminates any macro nutrient is sub-optimal for most people.
You should tell everyone you are 90. The compliment-to-disparaging remark ratio will improve.

As long as they go nitric oxide and not nitrosamines then I feel vital
Some and many
Yep
Will do!!
That's why they add Vitamin C to cured meats. It prevents or greatly reduces nitrosamine formation in the stomach. If you cook your veggies the Vitamin C minimizing cooking time and temperature are advisable. Nitrosamines form in the presence of heat and if there's no Vitamin C present. I eat foods cooked at high temperature that contain cured meat, think pizza, extremely sparingly. Cured meats, as long as they are uncooked, don't scare me but I limit exposure. With pizza you get not only nitrosamines but also a good dose of acrylamide from the baked carbs.
Here we go!
Carbs, on the whole, aren't even close in comparison to dairy and alcohol. Sugars, there is an obvious overlap.
I don't do dairy.
Carbs deliver energy, but how you get them is important. See: high soluble fiber. A massive plate of spaghetti isn't the way to go.
Carbs get a bad rap.
To my knowledge, winter wheat doesn't get sprayed with any chemicals at all. At least we never did on our farm when I was growing up. We planted wheat as a cover crop, just so happens that you can harvest/sell it for about what it costs you to plant it, so we did that.
Wheat is the easiest thing in the world to grow, plant some then buy yourself a grain mill, then you'll know exactly what is/isn't in it.
But the winter wheat seed is GMO or no?
No...it grows in the Winter, all the bugs are dead then, no need for it be be bug resistant.
I often laugh at wheat products I see, for 4 times the price, that say "organic/non GMO"
I think most foods in their natural state are fine with respect to being a carb. Eat an apple or an orange but don't drink the juice. Enjoy oatmeal just not instant.
But it's best to eliminate or cut way back on refined or ultra refined foods. Cook dinner using real ingredients, rather than heating up a frozen meal entree.
Now if you are trying to loose weight then avoid tropical fruits.
Back to a quote from Dr Ben Bikman. Don't drink your carbs, quality protein and don't fear fat.

I cant imagine a healthy body without some fruit intake (which is carbs) and whole wheat products if I want lets say a shredded wheat for breakfast (however rare or tuna on whole wheat toast). I tend to eat a fair assortment of fruits to the point maybe a little over the top. Im not saying everyone should but I am doing what so far as what beat the family history clock of quad bypasses and diabetes. So far I am ahead of family members by at least 20 years.
My only condition I am fighting is a high PSA with so far 3 biopsies and MRIs no cancer but still sucks at the uncertainty. Most likely will have another one lat this year.
... and "minimal' arterial blockages of up to 20% which has classified me as having arterial disease. But nothing close to needing intervention. Multiple echo's show full heart function without issues, and Cardo angiogram showed the plaque percentage in my arteries. I did have an ablation to correct a PVC issue.

They normally spray with roundup to have uniformly dry crop and it also encourages the plant to put maximum effort into its seeds as it dies.
Never heard of that and we planted thousands of acres of it. It died out fine on its own here once it started to get warm.
Having to spray it before harvest would have made it economically unsustainable to grow. As stated, we used it as a cover crop in the winter to control weeds and prevent topsoil erosion.
A restricted-carb diet makes sense for most people especially those who are physically very inactive or who have metabolic disorders, who are overweight, Type 2 diabetics, and those who have a lot of inflammation. and high LDL cholesterol. A very low-carb diet for prolonged periods is not doable for most people. A no-carb diet, which means cutting out even fiber, would be detrimental in several ways relating to digestion and nutritional deficiencies and could also cause hypoglycemia, fatigue, and loss of muscle mass in many people.
What constitutes a low-carb diet depends on the individual. For most people, I'd say under 75 g of carbs a day is a restricted-carb diet. And those carbs should be mostly from non-starchy whole foods. For someone with a high level of physical activity, laborer, athlete, etc, carbs are necessary as a fuel source and as a means of inducing growth. On a carb-restricted diet, performing hard physical work is difficult due to the quick depletion of glycogen stores.
Nutrition should be tailored to the individual. Two antagonistic metabolic pathways, mTor and AMP must be balanced. mTor is stimulated by anabolic signaling via insulin secretion due to eating, especially by eating frequently and in caloric excess, and by physical exercise. That's how power athletes and bodybuilders gain muscle mass and strength. mTor can be further stimulated with "pancakes" "juice." I' mean PEDs - performance-enhancing drugs like steroids, growth hormones, and such. As many know, eating by itself can require upsizing pants every year. But don't worry, stimulating mTor in excess is life-shortening as the increased cell proliferation that comes with constant growth increases the chances of getting cancer and has other deleterious side effects in the long run.
AMPK is the metabolic process that is activated by fasting (intermittent fasting is sufficient to trigger AMPK), AMPK can induce autophagy during which the body rids itself of defective cells that otherwise might proliferate. AMPK is detrimental to muscle growth and if AMPK is stimulated too much for a prolonged period, muscle loss is inevitable.
It sounds complicated and the involved processes are but achieving cellular homeostasis or balance is not all that hard. Just look in the mirror and make the necessary adjustments. Could be a minor adjustment or it might require massive changes.

Not a food safety risk, obviously...

Interesting reading, perhaps that practice is a mid-west climate thing to where it doesn't get hot enough to kill it off before it is time to plant the cash crops. Or I guess the summer variety IS the cash crop in some places...but spraying Winter wheat isn't necessary in Eastern VA and I don't know of anyone who does it, like I say, they couldn't make any money on it if they had the additional cost of spraying it. It gets plenty hot here early enough that it dies out on its own(winter wheat that is). I don't know of anyone around here who plants summer wheat, cotton is king here.
By the way, heart rate is also affected by blood pressure.
Let's say you have high central blood pressure aka hypertension. Your heart rate will often go up some if you start taking blood pressure-lowering drugs.
On the other hand, during strenuous activity or when adrenaline kicks in because you are upset or in danger, both, heart rate and blood pressure rise. This is called an increase in peripheral blood pressure.

oh hey another person with good cardiovascular
I have AFib so I am used to tracking it
mine this week has been 54bpm but I'm a good 30lbs overweight at the moment lol. Normally its in the low 40s but dips into the 30s when I'm in bed or laying on the couch
I walk my dogs while wearing a weighted vest or backpack for exercise its great for cardio and core strength.
pretty much every time I eat my HR jumps to 80-90s regardless of what I'm actually consuming though that might be because I usually eat (as in consume any calories) once or twice a day max so my meals tend to be a lot bigger than most.
Oh and another thing both my heart rate and blood pressure are significantly higher (~20pts) if a woman takes it. My entire life I have had nurses and doctors tell me I have high blood pressure initially just to have them take it back after I have them send a guy in to take it LOL

Last year i had a period of doing 10 hours of cardio a day and my resting heartrate dropped to 41 (and that's awake). But anything can push that number up significantly... caffeine for one
You have bradycardia. Anything below 60 bpm. Some medications can trigger slow heart beat. Food should not trigger that and like others stated, when the heart beat gets slow, a pacemaker might be considered by a cardiologist.
