As coronavirus continue to circulate it appears to affect minority at a greater severity than other groups of people. Is this mere coincidence or design? Something we do not quite know yet. However, we can speculate and say its related to the amount of comorbid conditions we as colored individuals live with such as: hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, higher glucose levels. Overall lack of mobility due to poor desire to be more active or past trauma affect our colored individuals at an alarming rate.
Some issues related to inactivity are genetics, others are cultural or learned.
Change is necessary to sustain life in a healthier way, by improving eating habits and being aware. We must also take responsiblity for our actions regading nutrient intake. We must reduce the sugars consumed daily, cut back on processed foods, and lay off the rice and pastas daily. We must also learn to eat without deep frying and buttering everything. This can reduce many of the medication needs as well as the numbers on the scale. Drinking water frequently and without sweetener is a must! Sufficient sleep, stress reduction, and bowel movements daily are a requirement. If these minimal todos aren’t considered, than I suggest hiding from the outside world should be continued. You can only save you from coronavirus. Ths health fix is making changes to everyday nonsense. My thoughts food can be considered the silent war on humanity… without self-control all are at risk. What’s an over medicated population… an unware one. Sad, but true. – Dr. Jae
