There is a Vicious Cycle of Covid-19 and Lifestyle Consequences
Some of the measures being taken, are actually increasing the risks of becoming ill.
In response to the Covid-19 virus,
many individuals are putting themselves more at risk of illness by restraining from exercising, socializing, relieving stress, etc.
Isolating from others
Emotional mood swings of depression, anger & anxiety activate stress response producing excess cortisol, affecting organ function.
Staying indoors
Lack of fresh air and sunlight affect overall metabolism. Lack of vitamin D3 (from sunlight & foods) affects bone mass and chemical balance, affecting organ function.
Less physical activity
Less physical activity affects muscle tone and strength, consequently lowering bone mass while leading to osteopenia, osteoporosis. Increase in weight stresses organ functions, joint strength as well as self-esteem.
Lowered immune system
Immune system becomes compromised from stress, chemical imbalances and sedentary lifestyle leading individuals to have comorbidities and consequently increasing their risk of acquiring disease and illness.
_________
Get out of the house, call family/friends, eat healthier foods, stay active and avoid stress. Don’t wait to get sick or rely on a vaccine to keep you healthy – get proactive now.
Be well, be wise and stay healthy!
