I Got My First Covid-19 Vaccination (Pfizer) Two Weeks Ago And Going For The Second Shot Soon. As A Consummate

I got my first Covid-19 vaccination (Pfizer) two weeks ago and going for the second shot soon. As a consummate hypochondriac who has never had a flu shot or taken any medication for 11 years now, I don’t leave anything to chance. First, I exercised to get my body in supreme form but stopped a few days before the vaccine. This ensured the body was calm and not distracted rebuilding muscle tissue when the vaccine entered the body.  Alcohol and OTC pain medication dulls the immune response system. This can result in antibodies that are not as strong.  My fasting diet was halted and replaced with three full meals days prior to the vaccine including a nice breakfast a few hours before the vaccine. While fasting is good, when we begin to fast, the body initially breaks down a number of immune fighting white blood cells. I was building reserve fuel so my body had all the resources to build the best possible antibodies as soon the vaccine entered by body. The vaccine process was pretty simple. I was out of there in all of ten minutes. Wow. Did I tell you I hate needles? Of course, I took the opportunity to do some binge eating. I got myself a nice steak, a generous helping of vegetables, fries and bread. Got a large chocolate cake too. Yes, sugar is the fastest energy source. Admittedly it is a dirty fuel but, in this case, it gets the job done. It was only for a few days.  I really was tempted to pour myself a nice brandy to get the arm pain to go away. It would have gone down well with the steak. The next day the arm pain was a little worse. More irritating than painful. Again, I resisted the temptation to take some Ibuprofen or Advil. You see pain killers tell the body it’s not that serious. The higher the pain the better your body is triggered to mount a robust immune response and build antibodies that can machine gun any Covid-19 vermin that come its way in the wild. Get plenty of sleep. I took the opportunity to binge watch some movies and eat like a pig. It was rather fun. Anyway, that is the story of a hypochondriac getting a vaccine. But I am looking forward to another round of binge eating for the second shot. Apparently, you get the chills for 24 hours so the thermal blanket is ready. Besides I have my Cinnamon ginger tea which we know warms the body. So, all set.

I have not taken any vaccination, medication or supplements for over ten years. And not been sick either. But the Corona virus has me keen to get the vaccine. My parents got it and they had zero side effects. Did you know that you absolutely cannot get the Covid-19 virus from the vaccination? The greatest risk would be from side effects, but they have been statistically insignificant. It maybe because the ingredients in the vaccine are very simple. Take a look at our blog post as we delve deeper into the Covid-19 vaccine.

Try this. Get some Pork Belly, marinate with Ceylon Cinnamon powder, Hungarian Paprika and salt and pan fry in coconut oil and serve over angel hair pasta with lots of vegetables. An easy family meal.  The Ceylon Cinnamon and Hungarian Paprika really amps up the taste. Better than store bought bacon. I add plenty of extra salt because Pork being a bland meat needs more salt and some of it falls away when frying. Yes, there is this belief that too much salt is bad for you but the thing is your salt intake per portion size will still be still under the recommended daily levels. It’s not like you will be eating a huge portion of Pork Belly, right? I would rather put extra salt in the Pork to give it that fabulous taste and have less salt (or zero salt) in the vegetables and the pasta. That combination is much better. The funny thing is salty Pork Belly makes you eat less meat and more of the vegetables and pasta. Then you can go one further and add more vegetables than pasta. A great way to trick the kids to eat their vegetables.

Sometimes I feel a little blah blah, tired of my own cooking. Then I resort to memories from childhood when mom used to make Rasam soup when I was sick.  It’s a south Indian recipe that is World famous. Of course, I have not been sick for ten years (touch wood) but these winter blues can make you feel a little down. What with everyone around me being felled by Covid-19. As a hypochondriac it can weigh on your mind. If you are sick try this Rasam soup. This thing will clear up your throat, chest, lungs, sore throat and nasal canals. It has a pretty strong spicy kick. I am convinced it will send the viruses packing. The Tamarind and Tomato gives this soup a beautiful savory taste on top of the spicy kick to get your taste buds going. If you got Covid-19 and lost your sense of taste maybe you should try this. I add some red lentils, carrots and one 1 tbs of cooked rice to give it some texture. Yes, it has some sugar but you need a little sugar to build up energy to fight a virus. Besides cumin stimulates insulin production which will keep any hits to the blood sugar levels in check. Finally, they say add Ghee butter which I have to admit is genius as it adds a delectable smoothness and further enhances the taste. Got my organic Rasam powder made by a company called 24Mantra at the Indian store. Seems like a good product.

Tea is much more dangerous than beer. I drank 14 beers until 2:00 a.m. at the local pub while my wife stayed home drinking tea.

You should have seen how violent and angry she was when I got home.

I was peaceful, silent and headed to bed. She shouted at me all night and well into the morning.

Please ladies the choice of tea is very important. Try some Ceylon Cinnamon Ginger tea to get a good nights sleep and reduce

any irritation you might

feel towards me.

Or join me at the pub

for a beer. Ginger beer.

Have you ever noticed a lot of recipes have sugar in them? Don’t get me wrong. A little bit of sugar does add to the taste of many recipes. I made this beef broccoli without the sugar and it was horrible. Next time however I added ½ teaspoon of Ceylon Cinnamon powder instead of sugar and the result was the classic taste of the beef broccoli. In dare say it was perhaps even better. You see Ceylon Cinnamon makes things sweeter, especially beef. It has zero sugar. It also adds to a deeper complex flavor. Just a little mind you. Don’t overdo it.  Even better Ceylon Cinnamon is known to reduce blood sugar. A bit strange right? How can it make things taste sweet but also reduce blood sugar? In addition to its special properties, it does this by delaying gastric emptying which has a secondary benefit. Better nutrient absorption. And the final benefit? Adding a pinch of Ceylon Cinnamon to beef helps it brown and give it nice rich color.
