avoiding insulin resistance (diabetic disfunction)

avoid inflammatory conditions

Salmon and liver are good sources:





I just love seeing charts like this because it really clarifies nutrition in a way that plain old text doesn't. Show and Tell

I am really shocked at how much Potassium Pork has...who knew?
I was just telling a friend how over the counter Pot is only 10mg. Since She really needs it because she is taking diuretics but the doctor hasn't prescribed it for her. I told her that I would have to take 75 of those 10mg ones to equal one prescribed which is about 750mg. Our bodies need about 4,000mg daily so....... yeah. I take it because I believe I am always low and I think I've been that way for years until I started taking it in supplement.

Hmmm, I do love beef liver. Liver and onions was always a dish I enjoyed. We had occasionally when I was a kid as my dad loved it, but my mom hated it so she didn’t make it often. My dad and I were really the only two who ate it.

But I rarely see beef liver at the store. I’m very fond of chicken liver too and have a pound in the freezer right now. I wonder where it would fall?

In the 50s my mother had the wisdom to understand the health benefits of beef liver. So, she started calling it "revil" and touted it as a new and delicious dish. My siblings and I would eat anything, so that was fine with us.

We have a chain of cafeterias here called Luby's and they make excellent liver and onions. That's where we get it a couple of times per month. The liver has a light carb coating which I completely scrape off but it's still amazing without it.
No muss no fuss!

I can't stomach beef liver, but I LOVE liverwurst and braunschweiger. I wonder if they're as good.

Fat: Death in the Time of COVID-19

Those with excessive weight are more vulnerable.

By Sylvia Karasu, MD

Quote:
Bottom line: Though there is much we still do not know about COVID-19, clinicians are finding that obesity itself, independent of other co-morbidities, makes COVID-19 patients, including at a younger age, more vulnerable for severe complications, such as prolonged hospitalization and the need for invasive mechanical ventilation. Obesity is a chronic, low-grade state of inflammation and though it potentially affects every organ in the body, it has significant effects on the lungs, the initial primary target of COVID-19. With the two pandemics—obesity and COVID-19—rampant among the world’s population, “…there are so many we shall have to mourn …” For more discussion on COVID-19, please see my previous companion post, The Raging Cytokine Storm.

<sigh>. Even though fasting has enabled me to lose 30 pounds during my Covid self-isolation I’m still far from thin and won’t be (if ever) for an extremely long time, if ever. Just one more thing to stress about when I’m lying awake, sleepless, every night.

Obesity was not specifically reported in the initial cohort studies of COVID‐19 from Wuhan, China (5), but regional epidemiological data from the United States suggests that at least 25% of patients who die of this disease have obesity,


https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/ar...y22843-bib-0006

This is the source for obesity-->covid mortality in that psychology today article.

What's obesity in the US? 40 percent? That's what wikipedia says. The source the psychology today article used is basically a medical hypothesis piece. That paper's suggestion that 25 percent of mortal cases 'have obesity' is based on 'regional data.'

Quote:
Obesity was not specifically reported in the initial cohort studies of COVID‐19 from Wuhan, China (5), but regional epidemiological data from the United States suggests that at least 25% of patients who die of this disease have obesity, which is similar to reported rates of cardiovascular disease in the same high‐risk group (21%)



Just to make sure things aren't stated wrong, it's reworded here;

Quote:
Some 97 per cent of those killed by COVID-19 in Louisiana had a pre-existing condition, according to the state health department. Diabetes was seen in 40 per cent of the deaths, obesity in 25 per cent, chronic kidney disease in 23 per cent and cardiac problems in 21 per cent


https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/new-o...ctors-1.5519363



36.2 percent of people in Louisiana are obese. It's not remarkable that 25 percent of mortality is obese, when 36.2 percent are obese to start with. The number is likely lower than it would be, because a lot of fragile older people will be at a lower bodyweight.

Debbie, I believe your lifestyle and recent changes protect and help you far more than you believe. Positive changes start immediately and progressively improve as you stay resolute with your goals.
