#33ever since i got vaxxed, my body always feels odd or out of sorts. never felt like this ever before in my life. i eat healthy, hike, run, and get out a lot, and still my body feels off.
Had the same, it went off after about 3-4 months after the vax. How long has it been for you since the vax?

#34Expose yourself more to cold. Take cold baths/showers. Swim in cold sea (if possible) (do not suddenly shock yourself though, enter gradually and slow). Practice Wim Hof Method. Do not sit for long periods of time and walk around at least 5 minutes after every hour of sitting. Avoid stress and practice meditation. Ear less carbs and more fibers/vegetables/meat.

#35Sunlight (vitaminD) is one of the most important factors.
As you are, strong cardiovascular health (sustained sweat intensely 3x a week)
Eat a balanced and non processed diet high in nutrients. Think salads and meats with some rice and tubers. Snack on fruit and nuts.
Get plenty of sleep.
Try not to be stressed. If you are, simplify your life. Its better to drive an old toyota with faded paint relaxed than to work overtime to cover a new cars high monthly payments fir example. Less is more.
Mask wearing is not putting a dent on it unless you n95 and never touch your face.. health is the answer.

#38Before I started working from home, I had colds much more frequently. Maybe you are catching the colds in the gym?

#39Yup. The flu and other colds/viruses have been much more prevalent this year in our corner of the world (Eastern Canada: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-edward-island/pei-covi...).
We had strong masking protocols here, and some periods with schools closed. I'm assuming it's just a matter of us "catching up" on three years of colds/flu.
Anecdotally, if feels like everyone is getting sick. It's not great.

#40Less often for me and I’ve stopped wearing masks and I have returned to normal life.
