Evidence that blood type plays a role in COVID-19

Hi, fellow lanky dude here. I blame everything on having a shitty appetite.

It's a slight struggle to maintain 77kg at 190cm. What have you been trying? I used to think nothing works, but they do say to keep a food (intake) and exercise journal so you hold yourself accountable.

I do have a small frame (thin wrists, smaller bones, etc) so I suspect my biology wants me to stay at like 75kg.

You’ll love the low weight when you get older. My 60+ parents say their peers from university, even many who were really fit but with higher weight, struggle a lot with their mobility at higher age.

It looks like a curse due to current body ideals, but it’s probably a blessing.

Underweight elderly people also struggle with mobility. Muscle atrophy and loss of bone mineral density causes falls and fractures. They often break a hip and are then stuck in a bed for weeks, which triggers an accelerating downward spiral.
