Well there is evidence that ventilators were overused at the start of the pandemic, giving them bad press. Subsequently they rediscovered simply moving patients to the PRONE position achieved very good results, as a precursor to intubation.…

I think you have a great strategy, you are being active but not sacrificing some enjoyment of the vacation. I would only add 'stocking up on some healthy snacks' to take with you. If I'm not famished, I'm more sane when I order off the menu of a great restaurant. I make smarter choices.

I'd say teens and younger are missing out on developmental experiences/growth, but are not suffering. Suffering involves pain and toil, not being bored in the family room all day.

There is a lot of guessing. I will add my own main ingredients separately or just select the 'chicken kebab' that looks about right on calories. It's a little easier if you were able to weigh your pineapple chicken kebabs before eating.

I whip it into my scrambled eggs, makes them extra creamy. I eat it in a bowl with kimchi mixed in, this is my quick go-to for a protein boost.

I've started eating a lot more cottage cheese to increase my protein. Recently I've been adding some kimchi on top to give it some snap.

TBH, tofu tacos wouldn't be my first choice to first experiment with tofu. I like cooking with tofu but I don't try to pretend it's meat. In my experience I'm always disappointed when tofu is presented as a meat substitute rather than just a high protein ingredient. Unless you are avoiding all meat, try your favorite…

Why not build up your mileage more gradually. Also, you may want to get a check up, if you haven't. Certain medical conditions can lead to aching legs such as arthritis, blood clots, nerve damage and varicose veins.

This was the strawman, and why are you responding for someone else?

an interesting dive into vaccine efficacy https://youtu.be/K3odScka55A

I like it for pulled pork and caramelized onions in addition to the usual stews and chilis. Highly recommend giving caramelized onions a try, if you haven't. You get a lot for minimal effort and can freeze the extra.

"In another thread it was commented that marrying your race and culture creates more compatibility. " I don't find this racist, it's just old school commons sense. It doesn't mean marriages with more diversity are doomed to fail, just that they generally have more potential for conflicts. And this issue is mostly about…

Here is my weird fried list, that even I don't understand* Fried Butter (Iowa) * Fried Pig Ears (Minnesota) * Fried Beer (Texas) * Fried Kool Aid (California) * Fried Ice Cream Cheeseburger (Florida) * Fried Salsa (Texas) * Fried Bubblegum (Texas) * Fried Jelly Beans (Massachusetts)

My hope is that the US sees a shift post vaccine, more towards asian norms where people regularly wear masks during cold/flue season. I would also hope nursing homes require them on visitors etc.

I never said what you say I did, so you created a 'straw man' Makes it easy to win your argument though ;) To paraphrase what I've said over many posts - obviously antibiotics save lives, but they are not the primary reason life expectancy has increased - most modern medical interventions are about improving 'quality of…

a good chart to drive this fact home

This video references recent research indicating half a million hospitalizations could have been prevented with better health/weight levels in the USA. https://youtu.be/PxNfi-q3RGo

I don't get your faux outrage at me, didn't you read my post? - I already had COVID so I didn't really need the vaccine urgently. I was donating plasma for COVID therapy up to Jan, so I knew I still had some protection. I read up on everything related to treatment before I got COVID (well before vaccines were coming out),…

There are many choices for under $20 I bought the below, to keep at work where I eat 1-2 meals a day. It's cheap and cheerful, and I can read it with a plate. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08H7Z2W98/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Ronstadt was too hard, so ... Linda Evangelista

@kimny72 thanks for educating me that mRNA vaccines are a new approach to vaccines. Maybe my head was in the sand but I didn't realize that aspect of this issue. I guess after I already recovered from COVID, I hadn't really followed this aspect of the crisis. For others interested, I just found this article/paper that goes…

Here is a good article on natural diuretics, just don't expect it to stay gone when you rehydrate ;) The 8 Best Natural Diuretics to Eat or Drink - Healthline

I remember buying ephedrine pills when they were legal. Didn't really help me lose weight, but they were great when I was driving cross country to visit my aging parents :)

Revisiting the OP, here is an article on preventable death - https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2014/p0501-preventable-deaths.html I believe it implies universally improved physical health could take a big chunk out of these deaths due to heart disease, cancer, chronic respiratory disease, etc. In addition to being at a…
