Definition:

A diet that recommends eating only one food or a group of foods for all meals throughout the day to lose weight. The most harmful side effect of this diet in long term is nutritional deficiencies. (1/7)
healthline.com/nutrition/mono…
How people follow the diet?

On the mono diet, you should stick to just one food item or food group for each meal. Most people follow the mono diet for a few weeks before transitioning back to a healthy, balanced diet. This is mostly a quick fix to lose weight. (2/7)
What foods can be eaten?

Nearly any food can be consumed on the mono diet, including potatoes, apples, eggs, and bananas. Some variations involve sticking to one specific food group, such as meats, fruits, vegetables, or legumes. (3/7)
Does it aid weight loss?

Depending on what foods you’re consuming and in what amounts, mono diets may lead to short-term weight loss. However, mono diets may also lead to weight regain once a normal diet is resumed. (4/7)
What are the cons?

- Causes nutrition deficiency as single food doesn't contain all nutrients
- Restrictive & unsustainable
- Doesn't recommend physical activity
- Slow metabolism. (6/7)
Summary: The mono diet promotes unhealthy eating habits and may increase your risk of nutritional deficiencies. It’s also highly restrictive and unsustainable in the long run. (7/7)

How does #VitaminD prevent complications in severely affected #COVID19 patients (approx. 20% of hospitalized patients develop serious symptoms) by managing the cytokine/bradykinin storm, ARDS, and organ damage? Thread
1. Cytokine Storm:

a. Vitamin D decreases the production of Th1 cells. Thus, it can suppress the progression of inflammation through reducing the generation of inflammatory cytokines such as IL-6, IL-8, IL-12, and IL-17.

b. Vitamin D also decreases the generation of TNFα and nuclear factor-κB (NFκB). Moreover, 1,25(OH)2D, a biologically active form of vitamin D, directly inhibits gamma interferon (IFN-γ) and IL-2.
