Here’s the truth that no one is telling us right now, the virus is a problem (ok – everyone is telling you this but bear with me!) however, you are much more likely to die from a heart attack or other primarily lifestyle related problem than you are from coronavirus… PLUS the people most susceptible to the virus have chronic health problems that are in the overwhelming majority of cases lifestyle related diseases.
Improving your health will obviously make you healthier which relates to better resilience, a longer life, as well as feeling and looking better so that you can enjoy it!
Start now, be relentlessly persistent, and inside of 2 weeks you’ll already feel better and be healthier.
