More and more studies have been looking at Vitamin D status and if a deficiency may put you at a higher risk for COVID-19. There are also studies looking at whether Vitamin D, as well as other immune boosting nutrients like zinc and vitamin C, are good therapeutics for treating COVID-19. I will be posting more on my blog about this in the coming weeks - stayed tuned! https://www.healthline.com//what-to-know-about-vitamin-d-a?

Obesity rates in children have tripled since the 1970’s and one in three is overweight or obese. In fact, one if four teenagers now have type 2 diabetes or pre-...diabetes -- something we used to call adult onset diabetes and something I never saw in my medical school training 30 years ago. If a child is overweight his life expectancy may be 10-20 years less. And schools are a major reason why. Learn more about the effects of our food system on our children and the solutions we have at hand in my new book, Food Fix. See more

One estimate says that 70% of antibiotics given to animals is purely to stimulate growth. By now we know the effects of excessive antibiotics use: it disrupts t...he microbiome of man and beast, causing inflammation, weight gain, and illness. Antibiotics also promote the growth of superbugs: dangerous, drug-resistant microbes that make us sick and can even kill us because we can’t kill them. They are resistant to all current antibiotics. These germs make their way into our produce when animal manure is used as fertilizer. Nonmedical use of antibiotics should be banned, and only the political power of Big Agriculture prevents this from happening. The FDA merely recommends that their use as a growth factor be curtailed leaving it up to the big animal factory farms to decide whether or not to use them. So far, the food industry has been lousy at policing itself. So, we need to take matters into our own hands and buy the meat only of animals that haven’t been treated with these drugs. Go with grass-fed and organic to guarantee antibiotics-free meat, although some non organically grown meat is grown without the use of antibiotics and is labeled that way. See more
