Researchers may have found the path to a natural cure for COVID-19

A new peer reviewed study from the Tokyo institute of Technology identified an amino acid that appears to interrupt COVID-19 receptors from infecting other cells. The amino-acid, ‘5-Aminolevulinic acid (ALA)’, is naturally occurring in spinach, tomatoes, Shitake mushrooms, potatoes, squid, ground beef, wine and soy sauce.

We fell into some bad eating habits during COVID lockdown. Lately, I've endeavored to get back to more sensible meals again.

We have a great little local sushi restaurant we go to but I don't eat cephalopods (squid, octopus).

At home, I'm using my carbon steel wok more to prepare quick Asian stir fry -- less meat, more seafood, tofu & fresh veggies & mushrooms. I kick up the flavor profile with fresh garlic, ginger, soy sauce & wine. When I can find them, I add Sriracha sauce or lemongrass. It's a bit more prep work for me but the food tastes better than pre-packaged, convenience food.
