  • While I agree eating healthy and cutting down inflammation is extremely beneficial, your statement seems to be undermining and not contributing in a meaningful manner. I don’t think you are doing so in bad faith. I’m guessing you are trying to help but the way it comes off is not being well received because it’s general advice that isn’t pertinent to the observation OP is making. Again, I think your advice is solid in the general sense but the way it was stated may come off as condescending.

    For example, when I was a college athlete I was extremely fit and eating healthy (and yeah, I felt great) but I had an allergic reaction on my epidermis and had to go on a steroid treatment.

    Holy moly I felt like a god (just like OP is stating). I would regularly lift and exercise but when I was on the steroid treatment, it was another level of energy and strength. I can understand the OPs surprise and can relate to his observation that he is sharing as it is an interesting experience (especially the first time).
