What health practices have been revealed by the experts that you found helpful in resisting or mitigating the coronavirus?
I avoid people like the plague, for one. I have a home gym I workout in. Until the food shortage, I followed a mostly vegan diet. But now eat like Elvis. Love the corn dogs! But from past experience, I can repair that damage in days to come using the Esselstyn diet.

So nothing from the experts?

I always consult experts before adopting a lifestyle. Why avoid people like the plague if the experts don't recommend it?

I meant in regard to the coronavirus.

I am a trained and experienced NBC Warfare NCO from the Army and last served in combat in Iraq in 06-07, and started my military life in '72 as a communications controller. I can say, in fact, that they are NOT informing us of enough safety measures, but practically no one would go through the pia, exhaustive, and expensive processes &/or purchases, if even possible, to put real safety measures in effect. How many of you, for example, retrieve your mail with latex gloves and sterilize it before entering your safety area in your home? How many have actually created decontamination chambers (sealed visqueen or such foyers for removing any possibly contaminated clothing or accessories at all ports of entry from going out into areas which could have contamination and where decontamination can be done BEFORE entry into your safe area in your homes?) How many, at the least, remove your foot wear and spray with disinfectant and allow time to disinfect? Just going to your mail box on the road puts possible threat of contamination minimally on your foot wear along with what ever touches the mailbox and mail. How many are actually continuing to decontaminate all of their groceries and dispose of their bags before entry in to safe area in home? I could go on and on and on. One oversight anywhere in any way it can enter one's home leaves the home contaminated.

The medical practices I have not learned but learned to expand into my civilian life, though, are manifold. But knowing what I do about controlling contamination and decontamination make being in a civilian setting, especially one of civil liberties rights advocates relative to such things as quarantines and Stay at Home Orders, during such makes me even more glad that I am secured with the HOPE and expectations of which a Christian is assured.

Oh, NBC means Nuclear/Biological/Chemical and NCO means Non-Commissioned Officer.

Also, the govmt and medical care facilities have understandably secured most, if not all, of what we would need to make and keep our homes really safe.

And doing without and staying at home is just not "the American Way of consumerism.

Most of you know as well as I that if the spread of a virus keeps increasing exponentially martial law would have to be imposed to MAKE people stay home and survive on just bread and rationed water, if need be, in order to control the spread.

It has been a fact for decades that Germ/Biological Warfare is exponentially more dangerous than Nuclear or Chemical Warfare and that is why it is forbidden in the Geneva Convention, rules of war, so to speak. Unfortunately, only honorable nations in the world abide by it. One vial has the capacity to kill off all life, human and animal, on the planet earth.

I can repair that damage in days to come

That's what I'm thinking
repair some damage later because,
since the CV outbreak
I've picked up some unhealthy
nasty habits.

I am having absolutely no problem getting frozen Spinach and Quinoa, bulk California Blend or Norway Blend at the store. Most all frozen veggies, the non-sweet kind, are still abundant in our stores and our state has been #3 for weeks in number of cases. I thank God it has just moved down to #7. Maybe the governor's strict stay at home order is working.

Biggest health benefit for me is not bumping into the Rottweiler that usually goes to the park at the same time as me! He is self isolating! Phew!
That would make a great comic pix in the paper. On the shallow, esp with the pix of that micro dog, it is funny.

We have a coalition in our state fighting the governor's strict stay at home order who would probably love to buy it from you or this site, now that it is their legal property. Many people in our world today just don't have the capacity to realize the seriousness of things. They have their make-believe virtual games that they will fight you if you say that the games aren't real and in which they can "die" multiple times. There are so many fantasy exchanges going on in the social networks. Then you have those unbelievable "Reality" shows on TV! What a FARCE! Then you have the natural death-defying youth and young adults who, like I once did, love adventuring into the unsafe/dangerous regions and practices.

I, myself, want to stay as safe and healthy as I can now to be around for my grandchildren and great-grandchildren, if lucky.

I utilize natural and herbal remedies for health improvement. We receive bimonthly newsletters with helpful tips to strengthen immunity and emotional wellness. And I signed up for in depth herbal instruction from a well-known practitioner.

Most of our lifestyle practices weren't related to the virus. They're eco-friendly decisions which lessen our exposure to harmful chemicals. Going green has improved our health overall.

I don’t know any experts but I have not used any disinfectants, masks and I have been hugging my daughter as much as normally. Also I give kisses(not on the mouth though lol that’s too much bruh) and hugs for my dog normally.
I don’t keep any distance, but in shop just because I feel like people are afraid if I get too close, so I keep few meters distance. I haven’t done anything different than I would normally do. I haven’t gotten sick. My daughter had few times flu for the past two years, but I haven’t. So there goes science.
When my daughter was little, I remember when she was sick, I was taking care of her, and I never gotten sick.. years and years, I never got flu.
Every time I get the flu, it is if I get very stressed, not eating well, not sleeping well. Very rarely.
But I never got the flu, just because my daughter had flu.

Glad you have a strong immune system and sorry your daughter has gotten ill so much. You are correct in identifying the stressors that lead to compromising your system. Science supports the same thing.

Well, I don’t believe in contamination theory when it comes to flu. And im not into science. But each of it’s own.

In a healthy person the immune system is quite robust. Sadly, as we get older everything, including the immune system, weakens thus the many elder deaths from Covid.
