Gardening is a great way to train your microbiome, as long as you avoid Lyme disease. Hiking and nature therapy are incredible for boosting the immune system and helping with inflammation. Our diets also need to be improved across the board.
Over-sanitizing can also be an issue, but we don’t want to go too far in the other direction either. It’s a tough balance. There was another man posting here a couple of days ago saying he and his wife are marathoners/weight lifters and COVID kicked their asses, too. So I’m wondering if it’s a matter of needing to be in the sweet spot of “health” and not too taxed. I may have been fine if I hadn’t worked out the previous day.
The last thing that should be happening, regardless of pathology, is this complete lack of research into and availability of therapeutics. It’s downright criminal.
Good arguments. For myself, I generally want to avoid the trap of "army recruit flu" that often rampages through training camps. I conceptualize all of that as stress on the body (and the immune system as part of the body's systems.)
Also, for older people in China, tradition is to go for low-intensity exercises like Tai Chi. Keeping fit via high intensity workouts is one potential problem with Western cultures and expectations. But global marketing is surely pushing high intensity workouts very hard because they dovetail with the kinds of perfection we see in movies and the media. The balancing act of low and high intensity exercises and how much or for how long is more difficult for older people.
The biggest thing about health is that there is no one-size-fits-all approach. The MSM panic blaring pushed that out of the masses’ minds.
If I didn’t have to spar and was close to a dojo, I’d still be practicing martial arts to this day. I prefer lower intensity exercise like swimming/dance/taekwondo, but I can’t find it anywhere near me. Best I get is pilates and yoga, so I throw in some cardio, too. Nothing crazy.
We are constantly stressed creatures in the modern world. Likely by design courtesy of the very enemies we discuss on this forum. Hopefully, in the not-too-distant future, we will all be able to chill tf out.
