Lesson 2: Nutrition – Modern Pandemic 101

May 1, 2020

No matter how justified by the current stressful circumstances, a straight diet of comfort food full of calories, fat and carbohydrates causes weight gain.  A couple weeks ago, I started calling my noticeable increase in poundage TheCovid-19, hoping that by naming my enemy I might be able to fight it.  I notice from my Facebook feed, I am not doing battle alone against this weighty enemy.  Others too are calling out The Covid-19 for what it is, a hefty health menace, and mustering their mental and physical forces to fight against it.  All our collective efforts are beginning to turn the tide, both against The Covid-19 and the actual disease-causing Covid-19 virus.
