When I lost 15 pounds during my two and a half week of covid, had thought it was all due to lack of appetite...now not so sure (10 of those pounds came back already—just in case another sickness attacks).

Get an infection, just go get a few Big Macs and doughnuts.

So, eating a high fat diet during an infection will help? I’m not sure I get the gist of the article. Fat is unhealthy and the downside far outweighs the upside—even when used to fight infection. Confused I am.

“These people don’t know anything about anything.”

They KNOW the vaccine is good.

They KNOW we have to do something about global warming.

Rather interesting. At my last visit to the dietician she encouraged me to ‘fatten’ up a bit saying that she was concerned that my body fat was getting too low for man of my age.

If you do decide to up your fat intake, make sure you choose the right fats. Butter, cream, grassfed beef, wildcaught salmon, sardines, extra virgin olive oil, pecans, macadamias — the best you can reasonably afford. It doesn’t take much. And your dietician is right, esp. if you’re currently quite lean. Older folks with more body fat — within reason, of course — are healthier and have much better outcomes when sick or injured than those who are lean and wiry.
