Now Is The Time

I was just reviewing an article about a study  from JAMA, Journal of the American Medical Association, that studied 5,700 COVID-19 patients in the Northwell Health System of New York City. Their research revealed that 94 percent of patients had more than one disease or comorbidity other than COVID-19. 

Their data taken from March to early April showed:

?The median age- 63 years old 

?53 percent of all COVID patients had high blood pressure

?42 percent of coronavirus patients who had body mass index (BMI) data on file suffered from obesity with a BMI over 30

?32 percent of all patients suffered from diabetes

?The overwhelming majority of patients who were on ventilators eventually died, and those who did more often had diabetes

?Of 2,634 patients who either died or were discharged from the hospital, 12 percent of them were placed on ventilators and of those who were, 88 percent of them died

Some of you may dispute the numbers as many people are skeptical of cases reported as true COVID cases.  I get it! That isn't the point here at all! 

The point is that your poor health to begin with can put your health and survival at risk when an acute disease comes on the scene. This is sad since so many chronic diseases can be prevented and controlled, if not reversed, by lifestyle changes and focusing on your overall health! 

It is time to take control! Identify your issues!  Learn what you need to know for life! Skip the quick fixes! It takes gradual lifelong change in a way that you can still enjoy life! We need to do this starting today!  WHY ???

YOUR LIFE TRULY DEPENDS ON IT!
