“My female clients often tell me that their number one turn-off is a man who fails to take the lead,” says Amber Artis, certified matchmaker and CEO of Select Date Society.

Higher circulating levels of vitamin D has been linked to more favorable outcomes among COVID patients. “Obesity is a major risk factor for severe COVID. Vitamin D is fat soluble and tends to accumulate in fatty tissue. This can lower the amount of vitamin D available to obese individuals,” explained lead author Deborah Shoemark, PhD, Senior Research Associate (Biomolecular Modelling) in the University of Bristol School of Biochemistry. However, the study’s authors suggest that adequate vitamin D in the bloodstream may be able to “bind to the [COVID protein] spike…making the spike less able to infect cells....

Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a toxic compound that’s produced by the interaction between certain foods and gut microbes during digestion. “TMAO is not present in food,” explains Purna Kashyap, MBBS, a gastroenterologist at the Mayo Clinic. However, when you eat certain foods, your gut microbes convert them into trimethylamine, which your liver then turns into TMAO, he explains. Over time, TMAO accumulates in your blood, increasing your risk of atherosclerosis (plaque build-up in your arteries) and making you more vulnerable to cardiovascular disease, heart attack, and stroke....
