COVID concerns are once again leading to shut downs.
As a health educator, I want to share with you some different perspectives and studies so that you can make a more informed decision on how to live your life.
What you believe is true, is true to you.
For years I have been saying, “I believe most of us have been brainwashed to be sick, stuck, and hurt. I also believe you can achieve health and happiness in any stage of life.”
This couldn’t be more true…today.
My personal perspective is at the end of this email.
Meet Bill – Perspective of an RN on the COVID Frontlines in Florida
My friend, Bill, (Yes, this is a photo of Bill and I *personally* know him) posted this 5 days ago.

“This is what 10 hours straight with no breaks looks like. 4 deaths on my shift today.
If you could see the work nurses do you would be floored. Not only do we have to think and use our knowledge of pharmacology , but we have to lift.
One guy on our unit is 700 pounds.
3 nurses are out with injuries. One with 7 herniated discs.
I wear back support but still it is grueling when you have patients all over 300 pounds.
I’m starting to think this virus is going to evolve into a new seasonal flu.
I’m sure many will disagree.
This is Darwin’s theory in motion.
Darwinism is a theory of biological evolution developed by the English naturalist Charles Darwin (1809–1882) and others, stating that all species of organisms arise and develop through the natural selection of small, inherited variations that increase the individual’s ability to compete, survive, and reproduce.
Everyone I have put in a body bag from the virus had several comorbities. Which would of taken their life at one point. Especially if the person was not eating healthy , exercising and taking care of themselves.
I don’t think we will see a vaccination for this.
If this is not a message to take care of your body.
I don’t know what is.”

EXERCISE IS ESSENTIAL
Physical activity is a key measure for the prevention, management, and treatment of chronic health conditions. It also promotes long-term health and longevity.
Approximately 20% of Americans exercise.
“COVID-19 has just so vividly exposed our unhealthy lifestyles…You go through the list of risks for COVID-19, especially dying of COVID-19 or being severely ill from COVID-19; those are the diseases of inactivity.”

STUDY FIND OVER 80% of COVID PATIENTS HAVE VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY
“One approach is to identify and treat vitamin D deficiency, especially in high-risk individuals such as the elderly, patients with comorbidities, and nursing home residents, who are the main target population for the COVID-19,” said study co-author José L. Hernández, Ph.D., of the University of Cantabria in Santander, Spain.

STUDY SHOWS GYMS ARE 500 TIMES SAFER THAN THE AVERAGE PUBLIC SPACE
The researchers conducting the study also found no evidence that gyms had been the place of contraction for the 0.0023 percent of check ins that later resulted in a positive case of COVID-19. This means that the risk of infection rate in gyms could be even lower than what the study says.

Lack of vitamin D might increase risk for COVID-19, University of Chicago researchers find
Patients with untreated vitamin D deficiencies were 77% more likely to test positive for COVID-19 as patients with sufficient levels of the vitamin, according to the research, which was published Thursday in the peer-reviewed journal JAMA Network Open. The findings were reported earlier this year before the study was officially published.
“It raises the possibility that if you take vitamin D, you might be less likely to catch COVID,” said Dr. David Meltzer, chief of hospital medicine at University of Chicago Medicine and lead author of the study. “It’s very inexpensive. It could be used very broadly.”

My Personal Perspective
Isn’t it interesting that “gyms & fitness centers” are always the first on the threat list to shut down?
Yet, studies back up that is NOT where COVID-19 is being spread?
That the CDC has said over 40% body fat & other Comorbidities & vitamin D deficiency are the #1 risk factors.
Is it interesting that the average weight gain has been 19 pounds as result of lockdown from COVID-19?
Ironic isn’t it.
We’ve learned a lot over the past 8 months. We are still learning, but 1 thing that is BACKED by STATS is exercise & eating well (hence the Obesity & Vitamin D deficiency) is the best defense.
We live in a country where we deny we have an obesity problem.
Heart disease & smoking account for over 1 million deaths a year.
How much $$$ does the government make from taxes on cigarettes?
Nobody wants anyone to die.
=> But these shut down measures are only punishing the people who are “following the rules” .
Please, do not fall for the scare tactics —- Learn to LIVE with COVID because it is not going away.
Has a cold or flu vaccine been effective?
Is is realistic to think that one will never catch COVID if they catch the cold and flu?
If we reported flu cases every year we’d also be in a pandemic.
Learn to LIVE – not hunker down in fear!
Stand up for yourself => exercise, eat right, follow the guidelines, but LIVE your Life!
Sitting at home and hunkering down is only going to further diminish physical and mental health which will equal = MORE SICKNESS.

Just some food for thought so that you can see a variety of perspectives from the ones that are be showcased in “the news”.
I am both sad and angry………that an industry is being targeted with no just cause….. that people are subliminally being led to believe that “exercise is dangerous”.
This whole thing is about “health” yet most of the measures are not going to improve health or create a better defense against disease.
Again, my perspective, my opinion, and shared by a very large population of people in the health industry who have degrees, education, and studies on the subject.
Please do follow the COVID safety guidelines; while living your life!
