Jessica Biel is self-aware : She's staying fit—and true to who she is. Interview by Shannan Rouss 

I've always been athletic. But I've never worked out as intensely as I did for my first big action role in my new movie, Blade: Trinity. I usually go to the gym three times a week; but for this, I spent two hours, six days a week, doing cardio, weights, archery and martial arts. I lost 10 pounds right off the bat. I had an amazing six-pack. I even arm-wrestled my director and beat him!

I saw how easily someone could develop an eating disorder when I was training. I was on a special nutrition plan, and I got a little nutty about what I ate. At restaurants, I ordered everything dry, no sauce, no butter. Olive oil only. But my practical side kicked in, and I gave myself one cheat day a week when I allowed myself to eat pizza, fries, burgers—you name it.

In Hollywood, women aren't allowed to age. By the time you're 35, it's like, "You were great. Now you're done." I'm lucky my parents never made me feel I had to look a certain way. Growing up in Denver, I was always a tomboy. They'd say, "Eat this giant plate of pasta. You have a soccer game tomorrow." That's helped me be OK with who I am. My mom and I both have curves and a butt. At 22, I've accepted that I'll never be long and lean like Nicole Kidman.

As a teenager. I wanted to make every one happy, even if it meant doing some-thing I didn't believe in. Posing [nearly nude] for Gear magazine was a huge learning experience. There have been times since when studios have wanted me to do photos in men's magazines. It's hard to say no because I want to please the people who hire me. But I won't compromise my integrity for anyone. If I lose a job over that, fine.

Keep in mind, too, that you’re probably not sticking to your usual schedule in the warmer months—and that can also have an impact on your mood, Dr. Gallagher says. “Maybe you’re on vacation or your co-workers are out. You’re eating, drinking, and spending more…. We crave routine and structure and, sometimes in the summer, we don’t have that,” she explains. So, you may also just feel a bit thrown off mentally—and when you add heat into the mix, it’s understandable to feel a little pissed off.

(via Study: COVID Reinfection Boosts Risk of Long COVID, Health Complications | SELF)

This article references the VA study (see tags).

Though the study included a large number of people, it’s worth mentioning that the participant pool may not reflect the diversity in the US (or the world), Dr. Russo says, since people in the VA database are more likely to be cis men and have underlying health problems. Only about 10% of study participants were women, and they weren’t divided into subgroups by age, race, or sex assigned at birth. The study authors also acknowledged that the way we think about reinfections will likely change as more research on the topic is explored.

That said, the study suggests that nobody should be playing fast and loose with COVID right now. “Just because you’re young and healthy doesn’t necessarily mean you can dodge these potential complications,” Dr. Russo stresses. As we head into the thick of winter, a time when respiratory viruses tend to circulate more, Dr. Al-Aly says, “people need to try their best to protect themselves from catching [COVID]—even if they had it before.”

This means you should stay up to date on all your recommended vaccines, Dr. Russo says. While the new study found that everyone had a higher risk of developing long COVID after reinfection—regardless of how many shots they’d gotten—getting vaccinated and boosted can reduce your chances of becoming infected in the first place. “Everyone should try to maximize their immunity, and the safest way to do that is vaccination,” Dr. Russo says.

But some of the advice at the end is not great.

You should be washing your hands anyway, that’s not a COVID protection.

“Distancing” (depending how it’s meant) and the “mask in a crowded room” bit are not all that helpful: COVID is airborne and hangs around for hours after the “crowd” leaves. It’s not like particles in the air stay perfectly still. They spread out, diffuse, move around with currents. Thus if there’s enough ventilation / airflow (outdoors) there are lowered (but non-zero) chances of encountering larger concentrations of viral particles. Lower concentration = lower chance of infection.
