There are plenty of people who are super regular, and super disciplined in their routines. What would be really impressive to me is if she never once got food poisoning or flu and broke the streak in that way.

She wouldn’t eat out with me and preferred to meal prep all her meals for the week on Sunday, which definitely probably helped avoid food poisoning.
I can only recall her being sick once, with the flu.

And while she had that flu she still went to the gym and church and her office?!

It'll never cease to amaze me how commonly people in the US get food poisoning based on their comments.
Not getting food poisoning or the flu in three years is surprising?

Very. American culture prior to Covid was one in which any time off ever was frowned upon. As a result, people often went to work sick due to social pressure. Additionally, many companies had rather bad food safety practices because people would be sick and tired for fear of having a manager think them lazy for being out sick.
