At my household we regularly eat most of those foods, but from now on I will buy red onions instead of the cheaper yellow onions. Plus, my wife and I started taking Quercetin capsules just last week, in addition to zinc, vitamins D, C, and B12, and other multivitamins and calcium. We lead healthy lives, gym 5 days a week, and don't smoke or drink, and for years now I have drunk Publix Diet Tonic Water with lime juice for dinner, so I don't get the sugars that come in the regular tonic water, and I have been ingesting its Quinine for all these years. I'm trusting my natural immunity for an illness that is 98% survivable.
At Publix, it's in the soft drinks aisle. Other stores carry their own brands, just check the ingredients to make sure it has Quinine. And the diet versions don't have sugar, so that's a bonus.
For several decades the British colonial societies in their tropical colonies drank tonic with with quinine to fend off malaria and dengue fever. It appears to have had some beneficial effects. They also liked to spike the drink with English gin, thus the drink we have today of "gin and tonic." Of course the gin has zero health benefits, but mad dogs and Englishmen....
Unfortunately, the Publix diet tonic water contains sucralose AKA Splenda as well as acesulfame potassium (Ace-K).
Both Splenda and Ace-K can mess with gut health. Some studies have shown Splenda can mess with fertility but they've been buried by the pro-Splenda studies.

Thanks, I'll have to check out this diet tonic water. Which section do you typically find it in?

My local supermarket has their own brand of quinine, which doesn't have sugar, but is not labeled as diet.

Should be fine then.
Thanks Fren! I'll get some today
