How Durable Are You?

This viral mess has impacted all of us in some way, and our hearts go out to those that have been impacted more significantly.

One message coming through from the COVID-19 experts seems to be quite clear. This virus preys on those that are less healthy.  People with pre-existing health conditions like heart disease or diabetes for example are at higher risk.

We are also hearing that people under 65 years of age with a pre-existing conditions have the same risk as people over the age of 65 without. Maybe even more concerning, obesity is right behind age as a risk factor for COVID-19 even when no other obvious health conditions are present.

The CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) reports that over 70% of the U.S. adult population is overweight or obese… so this is a significant concern.

Which leads us to this.

The majority of health conditions that increase the risk of many common syndromes and disease (as well as COVID-19) are driven by food and lifestyle… and such conditions are preventable.

Our body’s are not designed to handle processed foods, a sedentary lifestyle, insufficient sleep and the toxins we face daily… and the big one… chronic stress. It is now well established that lifestyle and environmental factors are the driving force behind the epidemic of chronic health conditions that impact us both physically and mentally.

Here at 360NOURISH we are advocates for the VITAL4 Lifestyle Model that serves as the foundation for our work with companies and individuals. The key elements of VITAL4 include Nutrition, Movement, Sleep and Stress Support. We also educate and coach clients on the common sources of poor health… nutrient deficiency, toxic burden and chronic stress.

The good news is that even if you already have a pre-existing condition, it’s not too late to make positive change that can make you more durable… and enhance your overall vitality.

We know that in stressful times like we are all going through now, it can be easy to put your own health and wellbeing to the side. However, our message continues to be the same. 

Prioritize and nourish yourself! You are too important to ignore.
