Take more zinc and go off the CR when injured in some way
(this is a resource shortage problem -- when you need the
resources then consuming them for a week or two isn't going
to make much difference in overall longevity).

Yea, well I'm normally pretty cranky (or as my mother
would say -- ornery) so CR seems unlikely to change
things much.
Actually -- one could probably argue that feeling cold
and not getting any may be what causes the crankiness.
