A lot of people believe that mental problems are all caused by disembodied souls of people from the planet Teegeeack, brought here by Xenu of the Galactic Confederation in spacegoing DC-10s and blown up by A-bombs in Hawaii.

"However, whether reinfection adds to the risk incurred after the first infection is not clear."
The results section of the paper updates this knowledge. It says:
“Compared to those with first infection, those with reinfection exhibited increased risk and excess burden of all-cause mortality, hospitalization, and at least one sequela in the acute phase and the post-acute phase of the reinfection.”
“… the risk was higher in those who had two infections (HR 2.11 (2.07, 2.15); burden 234.58 (227.08, 241.92)), and highest in those with three or more infections (HR 3.00 (2.71, 3.31) …”

Hear, hear. One of the greatest failings of our "modern" healthcare system is that there's no plan to address this crisis. Obesity is the gateway to what seems like an infinite amount of health complications - not to mention the additional burden on the health care system itself when they get sick. I fully acknowledge that it's a difficult subject, it upsets people, and it's uncomfortable. The greatest healthcare adv…

Limit zoning restrictions that currently make driving everywhere the most convenient choice, stop all freeway expansion projects, and make as many walkable, bikeable, friendly neighborhoods as possible.
If people want/need to go outside and walk or bike to accomplish their daily chores, they won’t need to think about exercise as much because it’ll just be an automatic part of their routine. The best kind of health outcomes are based on societal changes, not personal responsibility (“you need to go to the gym and punish yourself” has been failing us). And people will be happier too, if they are more connected to their community (after the initial grumbling about how “hard” it is). It’s so hard to walk/bike around in the US that I don’t blame people for not doing it more (as an avid walk/run/biker myself).
That doesn’t mean we get rid of all current development and suburbs, but just eliminate the current restrictions which enforce that lifestyle, and let people’s communities start transforming slowly into healthier ones.

Quitting alcohol and going to OMAD (one meal a day) helped me lose 20 kilos in < 2 months. And I wasn’t even obese, that was straight from overweight to goal weight. Alcohol is an enormous contributor to weight for several different reasons. Plus, the weight you get as a drinker (the “hard” fat) is the worst kind of fat your body can have.
Wow, 20 kilos in less than 2 months seems like a heck of a lot. Any issues with gallstones? I lost a nice bit of weight at the start of the pandemic when I stopped drinking (primarily a beer drinker). It is really surprising how much of an effect it can have.
Personally, while tough to keep that as an average weight, I was successful doing this, primarily by going to one meal a day, and limiting calories (especially carbohydrates). Only issue is your body does end up burning fat, which makes your feel a bit more “oily”.

Cutting out the booze is huge. A lot of people underestimate just how much weight you can put on from drinking.

obesity isn't a crisis of the healthcare system, it's a cultural crisis at a macro level. You don't need 'healthcare advice' as if giving individual people recommendations has any meaningful impact, you need to tackle it a social level. Living designed around movement rather than cars, prices up on high calorie foods, nationwide exercise programs in schools, put a ban on all ads for sugary drinks like Singapore did,…
Lots of Sudden Adult Deaths. And now people getting weaken immune response reinfections like Shingles. And even Athletes dropping out due to heart damage from the vaccine. Literally while Novak Djokovic wasn't allowed to play for not taking the vaccine, another athlete had to drop out of the same tournament with chest pains. Many people have low level myocarditis heart damage, that went undetected. Only when stressed…

This site is very pro vaccine, but even here they have to do a lot of hand waving to try and explain it away. And Suddenly everything is fuzzy, they can't quite put the two together. Which is almost funny considering these same people were touting the effectiveness of the vaccine on cherry picked statistical data with utmost certainty.

The big wake up call for me was a few years earlier. I had just hit 130Kg (285+ pounds) and I had just had enough of it all! By the time I had COVID earlier this year I was down to around 90Kg (198 pounds) - I get the feeling that helped out immensely compared with how I used to be. Vaccines also did their part combined with the lessening impacts of the various variants. The other thing that got brought to my attenti…
The rise in obesity is likely environmental. It's entirely possible that microplastics or PFAS (or whatever contaminant you want to point the finger at) causes obesity, which then causes health issues.
Americans who live in walkable settings are healthier on average but it’s not like they aren’t exposed to the same chemicals as their suburban counterparts.
