The #1 killer in the US is the American diet. Yet most doctors get no training on how food impacts health and they fail on basic nutrition test questions.

See if you know more about basic nutrition than most doctors.

You know I’m a bit of a health nut! I’ve learned (the hard way!) what prevents vs fuels disease. I’m excited to see what Bobby Kennedy Jr. can do to release the deadly stranglehold big Pharma and the FDA have had on Americans’ health for decades 💪🏼🇺🇸🎉

I like this! Use “yesterday you“ to measure your progress, rather than comparing yourself to other people. 💕

I like this! Use “yesterday you“ to measure your progress, rather than comparing yourself to other people. 💕

If you're constantly comparing yourself to the people around you, you will never be happy.

But if you use yesterday you as your guide, positive change is manageable and realistic.

Now, there's nothing wrong with looking up to the greats, but you can't look down on yourself because you aren't there yet.

Focus on YOU and YOUR journey!

Drop a ❤️ if you agree!

Avoid Covid and other respiratory infections by loading up on plants and avoiding meat, dairy, and junk food 🌱💪🏼💕

A study of thousands of front-line healthcare workers across six countries found that those eating plant-based diets had 73 percent lower odds of suffering a moderate or severe course of COVID-19. When combined with pescatarians (who eat fish but no other meat), the workers still had significantly lower odds, 59 percent. The biggest difference in risk was found between those eating plant-based versus low-carb. Compared to plant-based healthcare workers, individuals eating low-carb, high-protein diets had nearly four times greater odds of suffering a serious infection.

The greatly reduced risk was independent of underlying risk factors for COVID-19 mortality—such as being overweight or having heart disease, high blood pressure, or diabetes. The apparent plant-based protection went above and beyond.

Harvard researchers collected data from nearly 600,000 participants and found that those scoring higher on a plant-based diet scoring system not only had a significantly lower risk of suffering a severe course of COVID-19, but also a significantly lower risk of getting infected in the first place. And, again, this was after taking comorbidities into account, alongside non-dietary risk factors, such as exercise and smoking.

Why might a plant-based diet be helpful? Fiber, concentrated in whole plant foods, is the single most anti-inflammatory food component, whereas saturated fat, concentrated in meat, dairy, and junk, is the most pro-inflammatory food component.

Diet-associated inflammation increased the risk of getting infected with COVID-19, suffering a severe course, and dying from the disease.

A healthful plant-based diet may be a powerful tool to reduce the risk of severe COVID-19, as well as other diseases.
