My tagline your health is your wealth rings true now more than ever. So many people are dying from COVID. The risk factors of getting COVID include: people that are over 60 years, people who have underlying medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, respiratory disease, or hypertension are among those who are at greater risk. Nothing you haven't already read I'm sure.
Today in my local paper, there was an article on obesity. It talked about a chief medical examiner who lost weight because of his work in the morgue tracking covid cases. He said, "obesity is a factor in a lot of cases. It motivated me to lose 18 lbs and I'm not overweight to start with," this from Dr Craig Mallak.
"The dominant message so far in the pandemic is that older people are the most at risk. Doctors are also finding obesity is making it harder for people to fight off the virus REGARDLESS of age."
That's a scary statement for the United States. We have one of the highest rates of obesity in the world. The article further discussed two doctors talking about if it will get as bad as Italy her in the U.S. One doctor said, "it's going to be worse because we have high rates of obesity."
It's not just a few extra COVID lbs that are the problem. Obesity makes it harder for your body to fight off infection. It seems people are always looking for a shortcut to losing weight rather than changing lifestyle habits. Making your health a priority every single day can literally save your life.
