My Health Mentor

It's nice, because I've been preoccupied lately, and haven't been doing my usual stuff like having random interactions with strangers. Yet somehow I've been having a decent amount. In my last post I talked about only meeting one person, but i mentioned meeting a couple during the day. The other funny interaction I had was outside of coffee culture as well (I was waiting a really long time.) This one involved an ecstatic woman who really seemed to care about her vitamins. Honestly this lady caught me more off guard than the homeless man. She rounds the corner and first thing she says to me is, "are you sick?" Now then, I have been sick for the past few months, it's just been waves of minor cold symptoms and the occasional days where I don't leave my bed. Since she guessed so well I went along with it. She started rambling, and when I say rambling I literally couldn't get in a word. She started telling me about how important it was to get my vitamin C and D, I replied. "I get enough of the C, but I try to avoid getting the D!" She didn't really get the joke and kept on going without missing a beat, talking about zinc... which is something I don't even know how people get. I tried telling her this, which did absolutely nothing to stem the flow of knowledge that was being dropped on me. Instead she switched topic to how I was great for reminding her to take her zinc for the day. She didn't stop there oh no she didn't, she just kept on going. Next thing I knew i was answering the question, "What did you have for breakfast? If you're sick you need to eat healthy!" I told her I had eaten eggs because A, it was true, and B it would give me an opportunity to talk about Omega-3's which she hadn't touched on yet. Still I didn't even have a chance, the second I mentioned Omega-3's she started thanking me for reminding her she still needed her daily Omega-3's. This went on for about another minute or two before she just dipped. I mean she literally just turned around and left, I'm not even sure whether or not she heard me yelling, "Have a good day Mme!". Over all that was one very peculiar day with some very nice people. Now i know though, zinc is important.
