    Another consequence of keto-related weight changes can be a loss of muscle mass, says Kristen Kizer, RD, a nutritionist at Houston Methodist Medical Center especially if you’re eating much more fat than protein. “You’ll lose weight, but it might actually be a lot of muscle,” she says, “and because muscle burns more calories than fat, that will affect your metabolism.”
    When a person goes off the ketogenic diet and regains much of their original weight, it’s often not in the same proportions, says Kizer: Instead of regaining lean muscle, you’re likely to regain fat. “Now you’re back to your starting weight, but you no longer have the muscle mass to burn the calories that you did before,” she says. “That can have lasting effects on your resting metabolic rate, and on your weight long-term.”

    I'm making a spicy chicken soup at the moment.  I think I'll put a butternut squash in it and maybe some chickpeas

    I can say from personal experience that eating massive bowls of salad is delicious and there are so many variations you can make. I quite like to put a chopped apple into it or a pear.   It is so filling and can be quite an effort chomping through it all but you will be suprised how good you will feel and how your energy levels will increase dramatically.  I always have a hot baked potato with mine.  I always add some chopped fresh herbs as well

    There are a lot of reasons why a low carb diet isn't a good one for health.  Heart disease and certain cancers have been proven to increase as well as kidney problems.  Low carbohydrate levels cause blood sugar levels to drop and the body begins breaking down fat to use as energy. Ketosis is actually a mild form of ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis mostly affects people with type 1 diabetes. It is the leading cause of death of people with diabetes who are under 24 years of age.  
     
    The healthiest people eat carbs, the Japanese for eg who have a diet high in grains live long lives and there is very low obesity, low heart disease and strokes.  They eat whole unprocessed foods, loads of vegetables and are active too.

    Sara Seidelmann is Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine at Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons, and she worked on the study. She told Newsday: “We found that individuals who reported following plant-based diets had a 73 percent lower odds of moderate to severe Covid-19. Plants are packed with micro-nutrients. In prior studies supplementation with some of these nutrients decreased the risk of respiratory infections. These nutrients can support the immune system.”
     
    Eating a plant-based diet may help people avoid having obesity and other health conditions that could worsen their experience of COVID-19 if they develop it.
    Research suggests that a SARS-CoV-2 infection results in increased hospitalization rates and greater severity of illness in people with diabetesor obesity.
    According to a 2020 study, obesity was the most commonly reported underlying medical condition — 72.5% — in healthcare personnel hospitalized for COVID-19 in the United States.
    Authors of a 2016 analysis indicate that plant-based diets could decrease inflammation and risk of chronic disease in people who have obesity.
    A 2019 review notes a plant-based diet may help prevent the development of overweight, obesity, and diabetes. Research also supports the diet’s cardiovascular benefits.
     
     
    A review in the British Journal of Nutrition suggests that people with optimal levels of micronutrients may be more resilient to COVID-19.
     
    Healthy vegan diets that include a wide variety of fruits and vegetables are rich in antioxidants. These are compounds that fight free radicals and help counteract oxidative stress.
     
    The fiber in plant foods provides prebiotics to feed gut bacteria. Researchshows that plant-based diets influence the gut microbiome favorably, increasing bacterial diversity and potentially reducing inflammation.
     
    ...  a plant-based or vegan diet may support a healthy immune system. This in turn can limit the risk of a SARS-CoV-2 infection, as well as its serious health complications.
    Eating a plant-based diet may also help prevent the development of chronic health conditions that might cause complications or increase the severity of COVID-19 symptoms.
    A vegan diet may also help people reach a moderate weight and prevent obesity, reducing the risk of worse COVID-19 outcomes.

    it is a fact that these vaccines have not been well studied so if you choose to take it, you are now part of a real life study.
    Dr. Don J. Tynes says.  “You understand that you are volunteering to be a part of a great experiment with receiving the COVID-19 vaccine,” 
    He says he’s trying to protect his patients and the community from vaccines that are not well understood due to a lack of long-term studies.

    Vaccines don’t end pandemics.
    The Spanish flu epidemic, which stretched over four years, didn’t end with a vaccine. (At the time most health officials had no idea even what a virus was.) Instead, that pandemic only petered out when the virus evolved from a novel killer to just another benign flu-maker.
    Pandemics end when the pathogen or its environment changes or when people successfully change their behaviours or immune systems.

    he 1918 flu pandemic was so deadly as a direct result of the appalling living conditions at this tragic time. The trenches would have been the perfect breeding grounds for infections among the World War One soldiers. Patrick Saunders-Hastings at Carleton University in Ottawa says  “The virus emerged when populations, which previously had little contact with each other, were brought together on the battlefield,”   “And on a lot of cases they were dealing with other injuries and they were under-nourished.” Vitamin B deficiencies, in particular, have been noted to increase mortality rates in later pandemics, he says.
     
    Those left at home were still living in closed, crowded conditions that led to greater exposure to the virus. This not only accelerated transmission, increasing the chances that people would become infected; it also increased the severity of the symptoms.   It is well understood that improved sanitation and hygiene, associated with industrialisation and general reductions in poverty, have contributed significantly to overall reductions in infectious disease mortality in the 20th Century.
     
    Analysing records from Chicago during the 1918 pandemic shows factors such as population density and unemployment directly influenced someone’s chance of catching the disease.
