#plant based diet covid

I like to re post this every now and again because it's good advice I frequently forget.
Also I post it in part because I'm laying in bed with Covid (for the first time) at the moment and eating as much fruit as I can to expedite recovery. I grabbed a banana and orange, ate the banana and asked myself if this was a good combo or not. Glad I checked, because it was not. The last thing I need is indigestion.
But because it's me, my main focus has been doubling down on nutrition and observing my own results. I was eating plant based before, but sometimes I went a little too hard on the peanut butter trail mix, breads, or other sweet treats.
My doctor said rest and hydrate, but I took it a step further and since testing positive have cut out wheat, sugar, and any kind of dairy or processed foods. I figure nothing that could make inflammation worse. I've been consuming tons of herbs like cinnamon, ginger, echinacea, and turmeric while eating fresh citrus fruits like lemon, orange, strawberry, and pineapple daily.
Now I did a bit of tooling about the internet to see if any studies had been done over the last four years regarding a plant based diet and it's effects on Covid. The results were hopeful.
I found one study that said,
"Merino et al revealed that healthy plant-based foods could decrease the risk and severity of COVID-19.21 In this large survey, it was shown that as the quality of the diet rises, the risk of disease COVID-19 (HR 0.91) and severe COVID-19 (HR 0.59) diminishes.
Which gave me hope so I kept digging.
Another one stated, "Compared with an omnivorous Western diet, plant-based diets containing mostly fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds, with restricted amounts of foods of animal origin, are associated with reduced risk and severity of COVID-19. "
And I can tell you that has been my experience thus far. I developed a fever that went away after 24 hours and didn't go over 100.4. My only other symptom has been a stuffy nose with sinus pressure. Im definitely tired and need to limit activity but I can still taste and smell, breathe through my nose a decent amount of the time, and I'm not coughing. I'm lucky in that I have time off from work and for that I am grateful, as rest is another key component.
And why would a plant based diet be so beneficial for mitigating Covid symptoms? Because, "plant-based dietary patterns are rich in antioxidants, phytosterols and polyphenols which positively affect several cell types implicated in immune function and exhibit direct antiviral properties."
The full study can be found if you pop this into Google::
Acosta-Navarro JC, Dias, LF, de Gouveia LAG et al. Vegetarian and plant based diets associated with lower incidence of COVID-19. BMJ Nutr Prev Health 2024:e000629. doi:10.1136/bmjnph-2023-000629
I was really scared at first and this information helped me feel more empowered in my health and recovery. It's not a substitute for any medical attention or prevention like vaccines, hand washing, and mask wearing- all things I was doing regularly prior to getting sick which may have also been variables in keeping my symptoms down. A little help goes a long way.
Has any other plant based person had a similar experience? Let me know.

Similar problems arise with Vettese and Pendergrass’s contention that “the easiest—and perhaps only—way to achieve large-scale reforestation and feed the world at the same time is through widespread veganism.” They defend this contention by feeding into their model per capita estimates of land requirements for different dietary regimes based on agricultural figures within the coterminous United States and multiplying these by global population numbers. Notably, even the article from which these estimates are drawn observes that a smaller total number of people can be supported by a vegan diet than a vegetarian or low-meat mixed one, as the former is unable to use land suitable to grazing. Although this may be less of a problem in the context of the United States—as even the lowest estimate of the maximum population fed by U.S. agriculture is 1.3 times the size of the 2010 U.S. population—it becomes a much more dangerous assumption when applied to more arid regions, such as parts of Africa, Latin America, and Asia, where attempts to impose sedentary agriculture on Indigenous populations have undermined pastoral livelihoods with disastrous social and ecological consequences. It also runs counter to the nonprofit organization GRAIN’s contentions that struggles around agriculture and sustainability need to start from the premise that “farming communities should also be able to decide by and for themselves, and without pressure, the type of land tenure they want to practice”—a sentiment echoed by movements such as La Vía Campesina and in the Marseille Manifesto. These complexities do not negate the fact that shifting that portion of the world’s population presently consuming large quantities of industrially produced meat to a more vegetable-based diet would have numerous health, ecological, and ethical benefits. Rather, a more comprehensive ecological approach suggests that there are problems with assuming that experiences and conditions based on a single U.S. metropolitan view are directly translatable into global realities. As Rob Wallace and Max Ajl point out in response to a piece co-authored by Vettese that advocates Half-Earth Socialism, planetary veganism, and synthetic meat in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many vegan criticisms of the social-ecological effects and suffering inflicted by industrial animal husbandry are valid. Nevertheless, they lose their moral and empirical backing when they adopt a series of settler-colonial biases that facilitate the careful drawing of distinctions between industrial and sustainable cultivation of plants while treating industrial and peasant animal husbandry as an undifferentiated whole. That is, the differences between peasant and pastoral animal husbandry practiced by countless peoples around the world and industrial livestock operations are as great as those that Vettese and Pendergrass recognize between industrial and organic agriculture, in terms of their ecological consequences, their contributions to and imbrications with cultural identities, and the amount of harm inflicted on the animals involved. In this sense, Vettese and Pendergrass’s universal condemnation of all “animal husbandry as one of the most consequential and dangerous ways humans shape life on Earth” is both inaccurate and reflects what Wallace and Ajl refer to as “specific values, specific devaluations, and pathological externalizations” undergirding a project “that consents to the brute confiscation and erasure of peasant and pastoral particularisms in the name of ‘universal’ ideals: rewilding Earth upon the bones of supposedly atavistic peoples poor and brown.”

pls tell us ur thoughts on veganism (#2 from the ask thing)
my thoughts are good! i've been exclusively plant based before for years and i had a largely good experience with it, and i think it's a great thing to do for people who want to and are able but i also completely understand not wanting to. i also think it very often gets made out to be something it's not, but every diet and lifestyle has adherents who are kinda...deranged and misrepresent it. there are people who hate vegans for very stupid reasons and there are also vegans who are very hateable for very good reasons that are not their diet (usually extremely problematic influencers) but like, vegans aren't monolithic so it can all get pretty frustrating and exhausting to witness the media try to come to some singular conclusion about a huge movement and massive number of people based on a really myopic view of very loud and bad examples.
like anti-vegan raw meat fitness bros and shithead podcasters who antagonise vegans are putrid but so are the vegans who view themselves as morally bulletproof for loving animals while being very privileged, out of touch and racist, wearing plastic fur and leather, shaming people in food deserts or referring to sustainable and traditional practices of indigenous cultures as "barbaric".
it's also not a miracle cure or protective spell against cancer and people who tout it as one are fucking cunts. there's a few public figures here in australia who have done a lot to make vegans look completely insane, saying it will cure anything from covid to brain cancer or smearing themselves in blood and shrieking at people in restaurants. but then there are also always people who are eager to denigrate everyday vegans for nothing at all.
but in my own experience i've never really gotten into any irl discourse with anyone about it, every vegan i've known personally was very normal about it and so was i when it was a part of my life. the people who make asses out of themselves on either side duking it out online and in the media in some kind of eternal hot take battle clearly have bigger issues than what they do or don't put in their mouths and on their bodies. they mostly have a lot of misplaced anger or shame or really any combination of vitriol and distress and this is one of the hills they've chosen to loudly die on as a coping mechanism. at the end of the day their main issue is that they haven't made peace with the limits of their own influence and their sphere of control and it's broken their brains so the anti-vegans hatefully obsess over people not eating bacon and the unhinged self-appointed ambassadors of veganism do reprehensible shit like comparing eating animals to the holocaust. like when piers morgan interviewed tash peterson i wanted the studio to collapse and kill them both lol
in my own experience, my own circle and my own day to day life it has been a primarily positive thing. the main negative i've experienced and the reason i'm not currently exclusively plant based (or exclusively anything) is that following any kind of specific or rule based diet has triggered a relapse into disordered eating for me in the past. that's a whooooole different conversation for another time lol but i'll just say that the vast majority of what i eat now is plant based, and when it comes to the fraction of my diet that isn't, i'm not going to guilt myself over it. while i can't claim to be doing EVERYTHING i can, i'm doing as much as i can while prioritising my mental health and enjoyment of life and i'm a lot healthier now doing that, physically and mentally, than i was when i was a raw vegan letting the concepts of morality and purity and right and wrong in regards to food trigger me into a greenwashed relapse.
i also have the awareness to know that my subjective experience with that pitfall is not the fault of vegan philosophy, just a distortion of it peddled by "wellness" culture that i was particularly susceptible to given my past experiences. and besides, charlatans are not exclusive to veganism, the people on tiktok spruiking raw liver diets and borax smoothies also claim to be doing it in the pursuit of some nebulous ideal of "wellness" so....
basically in conclusion i still personally see the value in being as plant based as i can feasibly and comfortably be, but my relationship to food has been so complex and difficult in the past that i'm ok with pursuing something i see as worthwhile without allowing shame or pursuit of perfection to factor in. and i've also got enough going on with my own relationship to food that i don't really care what anyone else puts in their mouths. if you're vegan or not, just do what you feel is right and what works for you and makes you happy. regardless of my own feelings on veganism and my own history and future with it, everyone and anyone else's diet is firmly outside of my jurisdiction and none of my business. we've seen how trying to dictate the dietary choices of other people has made both pro and anti vegan people become crazy assholes so let's just focus on our own choices because that's all any of us can really control.
(oh my god i didn't mean to write you a novel but all these thoughts just spilled out lol, sorry for the text wall and thank u for asking! <3<3)
#turns out i had a lot more thoughts on it than i knew lol#but yeah your diet is your business eat a cheeseburger or don't idc about anyone's diet but my own we're all gonna die anyway lol#p

Eat your garbage
First in New York City, and now in Connecticut, I’ve learned a lot from my garbage. Not the trash itself, of course, but food waste and compost.
Over the last seven years, I have maintained a plant-based diet and have committed to compositing or repurposing our household food waste. I will spare you an exhortation on less complicated eating and head right to the compost pile. Learning what is compostable and watching how everything breaks down has reinforced my perspective on diet.
Water required. Whether you are adding in enough fruit and vegetable remnants that contain moisture, or sprinkling the pile when it dries out, just enough water keeps the process going. Too much or too little and you won’t get the results you want. Pro tip: Melon rinds, pumpkins, and gourds really help the pile stay hydrated. Drink up.
Go for flesh and seeds. Fruits, vegetables, and nuts are really the core of a plant-based diet. Peels, cores, leaves, and more jump right into the pile and integrate. Tomatoes, peppers, onions, melons, beans, and gourds also come back months later as volunteers to plant in the garden.
Avoid animal products. While commercial composting facilities accept animal products, at home, meat, fish, poultry, cheese, bones, and animal fat attract vermin.
Minimize salt, refined sugar, and excessive oils. Added salt, sugar, and fat provide little to no value to the compost outcome…so keep them low as an input.
Cut down on baked goods. Flour, water, salt. We all learned to make sourdough during the height of COVID-19, but, when you watch the pile, bread and other baked goods break down slower than other foods.
No chemicals. Natural and organic waste promote healthy compost. Chemicals, including alcohol and artificial sweeteners, do not. Pass.

Healthy forests, healthy planet, healthy humans.
youtube
Forests are often called the lungs of the planet, because they absorb harmful carbon dioxide and produce life-giving oxygen so it’s no exaggeration to equate healthy forests with healthy people, the theme of this year’s International Day of Forests.
Covering 31 per cent of Earth’s land and providing a home to 80 per cent of all land-based species, forests are crucial to human health and well-being, but their loss across the planet is threatening people everywhere.
Here are five things you need to know about the age-old and ever-growing interlinked relationship between forests and human health.
CityAdapt - Forests are key to building climate resilience.
1. Carbon sinks combat climate change
Forest ecosystems keep the planet healthy by regulating the climate, rainfall patterns, and watersheds and crucially provide the oxygen which is essential to human existence.
Healthy forests help to keep climate change in check by acting as “carbon sinks”, which annually absorb about two billion tonnes of carbon dioxide, the gas which is contributing to climate change and the increase of temperatures globally.
The rapidly changing climate is threatening the very existence of people in many different ways: through death and illness due to extreme weather events, the disruption of food systems, and the increase in diseases. Simply put, without healthy forests, people around the world, especially in the world’s most vulnerable countries, will struggle to lead healthy lives and maybe even to survive.
UN-REDD Forest products are processed into medicine in Viet Nam.
2. Nature’s pharmacies: from masks to medicine cabinets
From masks to medicines, forest products are used around the world every day. As many as 80 per cent of developing nations and one quarter of developed countries depend on plant-based medicinal drugs.
Forests contain about 50,000 plant species used for medicinal purposes by both local communities and multinational pharmaceutical companies. For millennia, forest dwellers have treated a range of ailments using products they have harvested. At the same time, many common pharmaceutical medicines are rooted in forest plants, including cancer-treating drugs from the Madagascar periwinkle and malaria medication, quinine, from cinchona trees.
The One Health approach, launched as part of the UN response to the COVID-19 pandemic, recognizes that the health of humans, animals, plants, and the wider environment, including forests, are closely linked and interdependent.

3. Dinner for 1 billion people
Nearly one billion people globally depend on harvesting wild food such as herbs, fruits, nuts, meat, and insects for nutritious diets. In some remote tropical areas, the consumption of wild animals is estimated to cover between 60 and 80 per cent of daily protein needs.
A study from 43,000 households across 27 countries in Africa found that the dietary diversity of children exposed to forests was at least 25 per cent higher than those who were not.
In 22 countries in Asia and Africa, including both industrialized and developing countries, researchers found that indigenous communities use an average of 120 wild foods per community, and in India, an estimated 50 million households supplement their diets with fruits gathered from wildland forests and surrounding bushland.
UNDP Timor-Leste / Communities in Timor-Leste are helping to restore mangrove forests.
4. Forests are crucial for sustainable development
Forests provide goods and services, employment, and income to perhaps 2.5 billion people worldwide; that’s around one third of the global population.
Keeping forests – and humans – healthy is also at the heart of sustainable development and the 2030 Agenda. Woodlands play a key role in advancing progress across the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including:
SDG 3 Well-being: Woodlands feel good. Studies show that spending time in forests can boost immune systems while elevating positive emotions and lowering stress, blood pressure, depression, fatigue, anxiety, and tension. Human health and well-being depend on the natural environment, which provides such essential benefits as clean air, water, healthy soils, and food.
SDG 6 Water: Forests play a filtering role in providing freshwater. About 75 per cent of the world’s accessible freshwater comes from forested watersheds. By feeding rivers, forests supply drinking water for nearly half of the world’s largest cities. Threats to forests could trigger water shortages and put global freshwater resources at risk for people across the world, which are among urgent issues addressed at the forthcoming UN 2023 Water Conference.
SDG 13 Climate action: The woods buffer the impacts of storms and floods, protecting human health and safety during extreme weather events. For centuries, forests have acted as nature’s socio-economic safety nets in times of crisis. Sustainably managed and protected forests mean enhanced health and safety for all.
Deforestation continues despite international calls to protect forests.
5. Forests need protecting
The wide-ranging benefits of forests are well known, but that doesn’t mean they are offered the protection that they perhaps deserve. Fire, insect-damage and deforestation have accounted for up to 150 million hectares of forest loss in certain years over the last decade, that’s more than the landmass of a country like Chad or Peru. The production of agricultural commodities alone, including palm oil, beef, soy, timber, and pulp and paper, drives around 70 per cent of tropical deforestation.
Many governments have adopted forest-friendly policies, and others have increased investment in woodlands and trees. Local communities and actors are making their own strides, sometimes one tree at a time. The UN established the Decade for Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2023) and its agencies are harnessing partnerships with local to global stakeholders to better protect forests, from planting three million trees in Peru to empowering young women to work as community forest rangers to protect illegal fauna trafficking in Indonesia.
Established in 2008, UN-REDD is the flagship UN knowledge and advisory partnership on forests and climate, supporting 65 partner countries. Building on the expertise of the UN Environment Programme (UNEP), UN Development Programme, and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the initiative has, among other things, seen member countries reduce forest emissions at levels equivalent to taking 150 million cars off the road for a year, ushering in a lot of more fresh air.
For guidance on creating an enabling environment in which people can benefit from all woodlands have to offer, FAO offers recommendations alongside a closer look at many key interlinkage between forest and human health in its report, Forests for human health and well-being

SURPRISING WAYS TO HELP THE ENVIRONMENT
1. EATING A PLANT-BASED DIET
37% of the carbon emissions produced worldwide are related to food production. FAO estimates that just meat and dairy account for 14.5% of the total. Particularly, the production of beef generates 20 times higher emissions per calorie than the majority of plant-based proteins. The number of individuals eating plant-based diets might greatly cut world emissions.
2. WORKING REMOTELY
Given that the transportation industry is accountable for over 25% of global emissions, commutes to work significantly increase carbon emissions. The discovery that many people are able to work remotely may be one benefit of the Covid-19 pandemic We might observe a decline in commuting traffic and fewer emissions as a result of more professionals working from home.

FAFO applied to the carnivore diet community
I want to make an observation about MAGA + carnivore diet in these trying times. Stay with me.
Very briefly, the carnivore diet is an elimination diet: you eat just meat for 90 days, after which you slowly start reintroducing foods, one at a time, back into your diet and gauging your body's reaction.
Some people find that after this purification they can still eat most of everything without getting symptoms, some find they are intolerant/allergic to some of the foods everybody's typically allergic to (peanuts, dairy, gluten, etc). Some find they're allergic to everything but meat and these are usually autoimmune patients, meaning they have a leaky gut which translates to lots and lots of food allergies. Some people who found they can eat whatever nonetheless stick to eating carnivore regardless because they just feel better this way.
Carnivore displeases mainstream medicine that still labours under the delusion created by bad and corrupt science that diet is irrelevant to your overall health, or that for health purposes you can never be too vegetarian. And carnivores are typically accused of being right-wing conspiracy believing ignoramuses, when in reality most are elderly people who only late in life arrived at this way of eating after decades of obediently listening to their doctors and following the dietary guidelines... with disastrous consequences to their health. They're not eating meat because Trump says so - Trump eats and drinks sugar all day long and all you have to do is look at him to know that this is true. They eat meat because it heals.
End preamble.
Having said that, it is very true that carnivore has formed an association with fascists like Joe Rogan and Jordan Peterson, much like vegetarianism is associated with Socialism and "soy boys" and eco warriors. Most carnivores don't wear either their politics or religion on their sleeve at all, but those who do never identify as, say, Muslim or left-wing, they're always right-wing and Christian.
And yet the paradox is you will never find a more radically anti-consumerist, minimalist, anti-capitalist move than going full carnivore. I know it's never going to happen but in theory if everyone became a carnivore it would be a complete and unmitigated disaster for the world's economy. Think of all those crops and plants that would suddenly become pointless for anything other than feeding them to farm animals. A hamburger joint like MacDonald's, whose food offer is actually 90% plants and a sliver of meat, would be screwed. Add to that the fact that most carnivores practice OMAD (one meal a day) and fast the rest of the time and eat their one meal mostly at home and every restaurant is closed, every supermarket too.
Even if the transition from an omnivore, plant-based diet to a carnivore diet took place very gradually it would still mean that entire food empires that are dependent on stuffing you with seed oils, gluten and sugar every couple of hours would collapse. All those billionaires would go broke.
If the transition took place carefully it'd be brilliant for the world's health - but the food industry that makes you sick and the medical and pharmacological industry that depend on the money they make from unsuccessfully treating you for preventable diseases would lose an immense fortune, forever.
Which brings me to my point: MAGA guys, I know you. I know you wish the food pyramid were turned upside down. For years I've been hearing you decry the ignorance of doctors and the criminal greed of Big Pharma. I agree, it's bad. And I know, even though youtube won't let you say it and you only say it on Rumble, that you think Covid was created by a bat in a Chinese lab and was transmitted to people through vaccines. You're challenged.
And now you believe it's great that Trump has appointed Robert Kennedy Jr. to be his health secretary, because he's a psychopath who drove his ex-wife to commit suicide and because he's an antivaxxer - just like you. All the while you pointedly ignore that Trump also picked up Dr. Oz, famous plant-based diet guru who made Oprah fatter and sicker than ever.
But I know none of these appointments mean anything. Trump only follows the money, not some sort of higher calling to serve the people. So I know that whatever happens in the future will not be determined by these guys...
... but rather by whatever the money people, i.e. Big Pharma, mainstream medicine and the food industry, have to say on the matter.
For instance, it is possible that Big Pharma will allow Trump to get rid of vaccines. But only if they do the math and conclude that the money they lose by not selling those vaccines they'll more than make up by "taking care" of the sick. If that doesn't add up then Trump/Kennedy won't be allowed by that super powerful mega-billionaire industry to do a goddamn thing.
Prepare to see during the next years ahead the official guidelines change from telling kids to eat more fruit like Michelle Obama wanted (which is no good) to eating breakfast cereal every five seconds (which is worse).
You know I'm right.
I would agree that it's true enough that you wouldn't be any closer to your carnivore dreams if you had voted for Kamala instead. I don't even know what her diet is, except that she doesn't stuff herself every five minutes like Trump does, nor has she ever raped anyone. But at least your kids would still have Obamacare aka ACA - which should really have mattered to doctors in the carnivore sphere, who instead remained silent and did not use their platform to warn their viewers; and your kids would not be in danger of dying from the measles and other diseases preventable by vaccines. And under Kamala you would still be allowed to stuff them all you like with stakes.
But you couldn't suffer to have a woman of colour as your president. It all boils down to that. So you fucked around and now you're going to find out. I don't feel sorry for you but I do feel sorry for your victims.

chronicles of a vegan bodybuilder (32/90)
'i'm gonna have to science the shit out of this'
~ Matt Damon, The Martian
i can make my sperm healthier by not getting COVID- that's today's answer. As far as last post's goal, i've been doing pretty good. Not 30 mins a cardio a day but at least 30 mins of exercise 1-5 days a week for the past month & a half. The best fitness i've probably had since starting this blog nearly a decade (!) ago.
My diet is still trashy bc of cheating on my plant-based groceries but today i started my longstanding goal of steaming instead of frying my veggies, saving 100 - 400 calories. It was in the microwave but that's still a tip for ya, faithful reader. When i have more time to prepare a meal i'll definitely be using the stovetop like i did with the rice i had for breakfast.
Today's Goal: Steaming instead of frying my meals
Today's Question: How does the darkness of winter affect my metabolism?
