mRNA Vaccine Facts & Myths

Vaccines are used to protect against deadly viruses. Traditional vaccines have used inactive (dead) viruses to promote an immune response to fight the actual virus. Examples include, small pox, polio, measles, viral pneumonia.

For several decades researchers have been investigating using messenger RNA (mRNA) to develop vaccines. Instead of using an inactive virus, the vaccines use mRNA to provide the genetic code so your body develops a harmless protein used by the virus to enter cells. Your bodies immune system then identifies the protein as a foreign material that must be destroyed by creating anti-bodies. The antibodies provide protection against the actual virus.

As with traditional vaccines, there are many myths about the new mRNA vaccines developed against SARS-CoV-2 and Covid-19.

Diet, Calories & Portion Control

Most people are overweight or obese due to diets providing more calories than their bodies need to maintain a healthy weight. With foods available 24/7 in many countries or while on vacation, it is easy to add a few extra pounds.

Adding a few extra pounds is not inevitable. It is due to a lack of understanding how easy it is to gain weight compared to losing weight.

While most people can lose weight on any diet, the secret is keeping the weight from coming back. Replacing a 3,000 calories high carb diet with a 3,000 calories low carb diet will not produce the miraculous weight loss some diet claim.
