Forever Young Journey Trilogy – Article 8

“How To Decrease Your Risk If You Get C***d”

Introduction

Article eight is the second in our Forever Young Journey Trilogy of articles/videos. If you missed the first one called “Sometimes the so-called “SCIENCE” is B#LL*CKS!”, you should make sure you read it, as they are after all a trilogy! You can find that article/video here.

This second article is pretty important because most of us are 50 and over and we all need to know the importance of having a healthy metabolism and immune system, while living in a Covid-19 World.

Life-Changing Virus

Covid has only been with us a short time, yet it has changed our lives. We’ve all changed our behaviour with regard to hand washing, coughing, sneezing, handshaking, hugging, social distancing and wearing masks. While these actions have helped in our fight against the virus, they’re done to protect us; to create a shield and are thus passive in nature.

Before Covid, it was often difficult to persuade people of the many benefits of a healthy lifestyle. Unfortunately, when the virus strikes, it comes at you quickly and we now know, those who suffer the most and unfortunately sometimes die, are older people with underlying clinical conditions. These conditions are chronic lifestyle diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, dementia and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease {COPD].

Short-term Acute Problems

A very significant by-product of C***d is that the virus has turned these long-term chronic diseases into short-term acute problems. So in our C***d World, you can no longer afford to put a slow, developing, chronic disease on your long finger. The great news  is you’ve more power than you think to protect yourself against the virus.

The question you should ask is not how to reduce your risk of catching Covid-19, but what you can do to reduce your risks from the virus, if you do.

There are sustainable, active, healthy lifestyle choices you can make which will improve your health and especially your metabolism and immune system. In doing so you can significantly improve your risk from the underlying clinical conditions that will otherwise make Covid-19 such a real and present danger in your life.

There are many things you could do but if you focus on these 5 things, you’ll make progress quickly:

1. Eat healthy, whole foods: we’ll discuss this a lot in the coming weeks/months.
2. Drink lots of water: an easy and effective way to boost your immune system and health.
3. Get plenty of sleep: vital for your immune system and both physical/mental health.
4. Manage chronic symptoms: we’ll discuss what this means too.
5. Be physically active: we’ll discuss what this means in the coming days and weeks.

Key Message: You have the power to protect yourself against chronic diseases by increasing or improving your immune resilience and by doing so you can reduce your risk from the impact of C***d, if you catch it.

Key Actions: Decide to take action today and continue your Forever Young Journey, with us.

In the third article of our Trilogy which you’ll receive tomorrow, we’ll explore the compelling link between one of our 5 core topics and your immune system.
