The thingwith fruit. Is that good fruit is so good to eat and makes me go "oh fuck fruit is so good I forgot". But then. Bad or mediocre fruit that isn't the perfect texture or flavour... hell on earth fruit is The WORST. And you can't tell which fruit is which do you understand.
that post about people treating autism like a personality quirk instead of a developmental delay that affects your whole body is so true. i would tattoo that shit onto my body
trying to calculate if im falling ill (hopefully not) or if this is just autistic fatigue (not much better but at least i'd have some level of control)
have felt like shit for the last like. month and a half? two months? more? and was secretly harboring a fantasy that there was mold in my old apartment that was making me feel so tired and sick and awful. and now i’m back in my childhood bedroom in a well-maintained house with no ventilation issues in an dry climate and i have to admit to myself i am just fucking disabled

While it appears that individual products containing high doses of vitamins and antioxidants are unlikely to deliver a health boost, diets rich in these nutrients are linked to healthier immune function. The Mediterranean diet, for instance – replete with antioxidant and vitamin-rich cereals, fruits, legumes, nuts, olive oil and vegetables – dampens down harmful inflammation, whereas the so-called Western diet – rich in sugars and saturated fats, and low in complex carbohydrates, fibre and vegetables – seems to be recognised by the immune system as a threat and is linked with inflammation.
For example, a 2016 trial of 25 adults compared the immune response of a typical Mediterranean meal with a Western style one (pasta, salad, nuts and olive oil vs a burger and fries). The fast food meal led to elevated inflammation and oxidative stress in participants, whereas the Mediterranean one dampened these responses.
A number of factors could explain these effects. One is that the Mediterranean diet is rich in omega-3, a type of healthy fat found in dairy, fish, nuts, plant oils, seafood and seeds, and contains less omega-6 than a typical Western diet. “This ratio of omega-3 and 6 is associated with lower inflammation, but in Western diets, the ratio is usually flipped,” says Francisco Pérez-Cano at the University of Barcelona in Spain. Another factor is the way that many Western-type meals are prepared. Broiling, frying or roasting processed meat causes sugars to react with proteins, forming by-products that trigger inflammation.
At the heart of these immune effects is our microbiome, the vast bacterial community that resides in our gut. “These communities of bacteria form a delicate ecosystem,” says Fiona Powrie at the University of Oxford.

What does all this mean for when you are in the supermarket faced with an array of supposedly immune-boosting products? To keep your natural defences in good shape, what really seems to matter is a healthy gut microbiome. For this, the most important factor is the nature of your overall diet.
