I’m a Doctor and I Warn You to Avoid These Mistakes This Week — Eat This Not That
As a doctor, I’m here to warn you about the mistakes you should avoid this week. Eating the wrong foods can have serious consequences for your health, so it’s important to make sure you’re eating the right things. Here are some tips to help you make the right choices:
- Avoid processed foods. Processed foods are often high in unhealthy fats, sodium, and sugar, and can lead to weight gain and other health problems. Instead, opt for fresh fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.
- Limit your intake of sugary drinks. Sugary drinks are loaded with empty calories and can lead to weight gain and other health issues. Instead, opt for water, unsweetened tea, or low-fat milk.
- Avoid fried foods. Fried foods are high in unhealthy fats and can increase your risk of heart disease and other health problems. Instead, opt for grilled, baked, or steamed foods.
- Limit your intake of red and processed meats. Red and processed meats are high in saturated fat and can increase your risk of heart disease and other health problems. Instead, opt for lean proteins such as fish, poultry, and beans.
By following these tips, you can make sure you’re eating the right foods and avoiding the wrong ones. Eating the right foods can help you stay healthy and feel your best. So, this week, make sure you’re eating this, not that!
For the last two months, COVID-19 rates have been consistently increasing worldwide. Weekly cases in the US have regularly exceeded 100,000, and some estimates put this number closer to 1 million cases per week. More contagious variants seem to be described all the time. People want to stay safe but maintain their active lifestyles. What should they be doing? Read on to find out more—and to ensure your health and the health of others, don’t miss these Sure Signs You’ve Already Had COVID.
Vaccinations and boosters against COVID help prevent infections against these diseases. These jabs also help decrease the spread of COVID and the likelihood of being hospitalized or having a more severe illness from COVID.
Statistically, it is very likely you have had COVID or will get it again. Try to minimize the damage to others if you become sick. Notify your doctor and try not to be around others until you are better. Protecting others will help everyone.
COVID is becoming so common these days that you or someone you know may have COVID. Everyone needs to know the symptoms of COVID-19 and if they should stay home and away from others if they are sick. They should be extra careful if they or a domestic contact are considered vulnerable members of society who are at risk for worse outcomes with COVID.
Even if you are asymptomatic, in certain situations, it may be appropriate to test for COVID. If the community rates for COVID are high by CDC standards, you should understand you may be infected. Before you possibly infect others in the workplace or home, you should consider being tested. This is more important if vulnerable people are in your household or workplace.
You need to watch the people you are around for symptoms of COVID. Monitor everyone who could expose you to COVID about their symptoms. They may not even be aware they are becoming ill, especially children. Watching older adults and encouraging them to be seen quickly if they are not feeling well may be life-saving!
