  1. Which is why living in the north is better for your Bird. 😃
  2. I thought this was somewhat interesting. It may seem counterintuitive, but a new study review suggests that consuming too little salt could be harmful to heart failure patients. Doctors currently recommend a low-sodium diet to lower blood pressure and avoid fluid buildup and swelling, which can be common symptoms for heart failure. The condition develops when the heart muscle becomes too weak or stiff to effectively pump blood to the rest of the body. But the new meta-analysis of nine randomized, controlled trials found that restricting dietary sodium intake below the standard recommended maximum of about 2.3 grams per day did not bring additional benefits, and it also may increase the risk of death. The findings will be presented March 5 at the American College of Cardiology's annual meeting, in New Orleans. "Our findings showed that restricting dietary sodium to less than the usual recommendation was counterproductive in the management of heart failure," said study lead author Dr. Anirudh Palicherla, an internal medicine resident at Creighton University School of Medicine in Omaha, Nebraska. "Limiting sodium is still the way to go to help manage heart failure, but the amount of restriction has been up for debate," Palicherla said in a meeting news release. "This study shows that the focus should be on establishing a safe level of sodium consumption, instead of overly restricting sodium." While the average American eats about 3.4 grams of sodium daily, U.S. Dietary Guidelines recommend limiting that to 2.3 grams daily or less. That's a little less than 1 teaspoon of table salt. The nine trials assessed different levels of sodium for a total of nearly 3,500 people with heart failure and included data on rates of death and hospitalization. Most of those trials were conducted between 2008 and 2022. Researchers found that patients following a diet with a sodium intake target below 2.5 grams per day were 80% more likely to die than those following a diet with a target of 2.5 grams per day or more.

  3. The person with the problem has to want to change or nothing will happen. That applies to all things not just eating. I hope your friend gets a second chance.
  4. This part is scary but could happen with anything I guess. Several cases have also been caused by errors in manufacturing, when the supplements had 100–4,000 times higher amounts of vitamin D than stated on the package (19Trusted Source, 20Trusted Source, 23Trusted Source).
  5. I kind of like that exhaust.
  6. FEL-PRO® GASKETS BRAND CELEBRATES 100 YEARS OF INDUSTRY LEADERSHIP.
  7. Just read this: How much vitamin D is too much? Since relatively little is known about how vitamin D toxicity works, it’s hard to define an exact threshold for safe or toxic vitamin D intake (5Trusted Source). According to the National Academy of Medicine, formerly known as the Institute of Medicine, 4,000 IU is the safe upper level of daily vitamin D intake. However, doses up to 10,000 IU have not been shown to cause toxicity in healthy individuals (11Trusted Source, 16Trusted Source). Vitamin D toxicity is generally caused by excessive doses of vitamin D supplements, not by diet or sun exposure (17Trusted Source, 18Trusted Source). Although vitamin D toxicity is a very rare condition, recent increases in supplement use may lead to an increase in reported cases. A daily intake ranging from 40,000–100,000 IU (1,000–2,500 mcg), for 1 to several months, has been shown to cause toxicity in humans (15Trusted Source, 19Trusted Source, 20Trusted Source, 21Trusted Source, 22Trusted Source). This is 10–25 times the recommended upper limit, in repeated doses. Individuals with vitamin D toxicity usually have blood levels above 150 ng/mL (375 nmol/L). Several cases have also been caused by errors in manufacturing, when the supplements had 100–4,000 times higher amounts of vitamin D than stated on the package (19Trusted Source, 20Trusted Source, 23Trusted Source). The blood levels in these cases of toxicity ranged from 257–620 ng/mL, or 644–1549 nmol/L. Vitamin D toxicity is usually reversible, but severe cases may eventually cause kidney failure and calcification of the arteries (24Trusted Source, 25Trusted Source).
  8. Good thing you don't live around here Bill as you would have got more use out of your bike than a snow machine. It was 75F last Wednesday. The warmest winter I can remember but still a high heating bill. 😠
  9. Was the amount of 1500mg for the Turmeric recommended or did you just choose that amount? I also take 4K of D3 (never liked the sun) and a few months ago, starting take 500mg of Turmeric.
  10. I'll join you on the 29th this month but not any other day.
  11. There was no way it added more than 3.125 HP, 3.359 you are dreaming. 😁
  12. Almond milk works great for cereal or oats and it keeps way longer than real milk.
  13. There used to be a Harley/Honda dealer near me. I never felt right being in there, like mixing milk with vinegar.
  14. Well I understand why inconvenience makes the lack of use. I keep my Stang in storage unit. To use it, I have to drive to it, uncover the car pull it out, put whatever I drove in the garage and drive home. Of course having to reverse that to put it back usually in the same day. Should be better this year since I won't need a vehicle to go to work.
  15. I would say that made all the difference. BTW- with all the mechanical stuff you do daily, why the " dreading going into the carbs"? It really isn't that hard. The idle jets are so small no wonder they plug up. Here is what I don't understand, YOU LIVE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, why is the bike sitting for so long? Don't you run to the store to get smokes or something or go to see a friend? Riding is good for the brain. Lastly, like Jon said, put stuff in the gas to keep it from clogging up.
  16. Those look like straight pipes. I would like to hear it.
  17. But the real question is, was your fat blocked and appetite suppressed? 🤔
  18. I hope you ordered the Godzilla motor for it. I hear nothing but great things about it.
  19. Are you saying that you did the wire loom fix and then can't get spark?
  20. I don't use a tablet but I checked the political thread and this is the first times in years I get the full page. Thank you much.
