Are You at Risk for Covid?

Are You at Risk for Covid?

"Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap." Galatians 6:7


It has been widely reported that being obese or living an unhealthy lifestyle puts a person at a significantly higher risk for contracting COVID-19.


At this writing, over 1/3 of our population in the United States is considered obese. That to me is unacceptable. And more frustrating to me is that we have brought this on ourselves.


For decades we have sown seeds of unhealthy lifestyle choices.


Choices like laziness or hitting the drive thru too many times.


Now we are now reaping the consequences of those choices. The poor overall health of our country has been exposed as over 3,000,000 folks have been diagnosed with The Coronavirus.


THE OTHER PANDEMIC - OBESITY


3 Million! That's crazy. Now, I'm aware that some of these cases are not the norm, perfectly healthy folks have succumbed. But that doesn't discount the fact that our society is struggling with the Other Pandemic....the Pandemic of Obesity.


Again, this baffles my mind. 


Many of these cases could have been avoided. Avoided by making better choices and taking care of ourselves. Avoided by allowing ourselves to be the priority, getting off the couch and getting that workout in. Or by having the salad with the kids instead of the 'easy' choice of the drive thru.


We can get better. Each day we are either getting 1% better or 1% worse based on our choices.


It's not too late.

It Takes Courage to SEE BEAUTIFUL

By Puravida Fitness • October 30, 2024
Yesterday was the 40th running of the Twin Cities Marathon - The Most Beautiful Urban Marathon in America! If you are like me, you stop everything to take it all in. Marathon Day is one of my favorite days of the year! A happy place! So much goodness packed into one perfect fall day! And yesterday was no exception! 34 years ago my friend and I were curious. What is the marathon anyway? It was hard to visualize people running 26.2 miles from the Metrodome in Minneapolis to the Capitol in St. Paul. So without the assistance of Google maps, runner tracking apps or cell phones, we headed to St. Paul to "find the marathon." We rolled down our windows, drove up the Snelling Avenue hill and listened for people cheering. Sure enough we found it!

Those Who Stay Will Become Champions

This is a sign that hung in my college football weight room. It meant a lot to me. It's what motivated me to put in extra work and ultimately become a scholarship athlete and starting offensive guard on the football team. It wasn't always like that though. My life could have been drastically different - and not for the better.
