My husband and I both got vaccinated in May and he now has Covid.

Though I don't. Not yet. 😑 I'll keep you updated. He started coughing Wednesday night and knew he had it because he had been exposed to it the previous day. He'd worked closely with a coworker the day before who found out they had Covid. So far he's just normal sick. He has a heavy cough but he can breathe. No need for the hospital, at least not yet. 😑

i try to tell this to everyone. eat super healthy now. eat greens, cut out red meat until the duration. drink anything with vitamin d, and c. apple juice whatever. eat garlic. all of these things will boost your immune system.

i was better in two weeks i did nothing but eat greens, salad, broccoli, spinach, drink 8 glasses of water. i cut out sugar, got plenty of rest. i was better within two weeks already testing negative.

other people from my job who were sick were still testing positive months later. i would ask them about their diets one lady literally told me she did nothing but eat mcdonalds. she never got her smell back to how it originally was, nor her taste.

eat healthy now before you don't have the energy, same to your husband.

@DeluxedEdition Not that my diet is anything to brag about but it is true - if someone actually eats healthy, ailments have a harder time taking over.

@CestManan i've read many articles and studies done in italy that vegan diets were shown in multiple cases to help patients fighting cancer and diabetes and they actually had cases where they reversed diabetes by altering these diets.

you never hear about these kinds of studies in the usa

@DeluxedEdition Weird thing is though that back in the 80's, they were always talking about healthy eating in school. Food groups, calories, etc.

I guess the powers that be decided it wasn't helping the fast food industry.

Some charts show what exercises burn so many calories. It doesn't offer much comfort. Like, "If you run full speed on a treadmill for one solid hour while holding a 300 pound weight overhead, that burns the calories of 1/4 of a big mac."

@CestManan it makes you wonder where and what changed...

@DeluxedEdition I do not know if schools still try to teach kids about eating healthy, did they when you went through Elementary? My years were 1981 - 86.

@CestManan they did and it's like they stopped when we started peaking in middle school because they food pyramid kept changing. now they do it by "myplate" LOLLL

@DeluxedEdition "myplate" I wonder if that my pillow guy... Okay sorry, no bad jokes...

On a different note, in your experience, when people start getting screwed up from type2 diabetes, are they typically severely overweight or old or...? I guess anyone could have complications but where are the worst "tipping points"?

Yeah I could google that but I prefer unbiased feedback from actual people.
