  • Actually, it’s common and standard for countries to require vaccination records to immigrate. I had the same problem when I moved, I only had paper records that my parents could no longer find. I ended up just getting all of them again at once. Insurance helped (I didn’t have to pay anything out of pocket). Also, it’s not a lot. In the US, they require around 4-5 vaccines (MMR, TDAP, HEP, varicella, and covid which they recently made optional) to pass permanent residency requirements, not all the 20 you got. I imagine EU countries require around just as much.


  • I was also gonna say fasting, intermittent fasting to be specific, and cooking at home more. But it seems that’s not answering your question because it’s a “food habit”. So instead, I would recommend:

    • Sugar substitutes. Yes they can make you gassy/poopy. It’s trial and error to find the right substitute and right amount to use, but once you get it, you’ll be able to avoid a ton of sugar. For example, a teaspoon of stevia on my coffee is fine. Monkfruit instead of sugar but only half as much for savory dishes works for me. Allulose for home made ice cream is fine as well. And so on.

    • Eat water-rich food to make you feel full but not consume a lot of calories. Celery and cucumbers are good snacks and can be paired with other food.

    • A bit more pricey, but shiratake is basically zero calories and comes in noodle, rice, or cube form.










  • I unintentionally make people buffer when they say “How are you” and I just answer with “good” and don’t return the question. There’s usually a second of dead silence because they expect to get it back and answer. I’m not used to asking a rhetorical question as a greeting, and prefer to just just say Hi or Hey.
