Exercise Reduces COVID-19 Risk

How are you feeling? Really. I want to know. Please tell me. How are you doing out there? This year (these years) have been TOUGH. A lot of people are feeling stuck.

Maybe you are FINALLY feeling ready to commit to healthy living again.

If you are on the edge - this message is for you...

New research is showing that being physically active and nourishing yourself well are some of THE BEST THINGs that you can do to take care of yourself during this time.
​
That's right! Two new studies have come out about exercise and your risk for developing COVID.

​STUDY 1:

In South Korea, researchers found that working out REDUCES your risk of getting COVID-19. 

The South Korean researchers said regular exercise helps:

• Cut the risk of infection
• Boost the immune system, and 
• Reduce disease-causing inflammation in the body.

The study also noted that the World Health Organization recommends people be as active as possible …

AND encourages everyone to engage in regular aerobic physical activity, as well as bone and muscle-strengthening activity.

STUDY 2:

In California, researchers found that exercise cuts your risk of dying from COVID-19 by 2.5x.

Here’s what they discovered:

People who were INACTIVE (not exercising at all):

• Had 1.73 times HIGHER odds of ending up in the ICU
• Had 2.49 times HIGHER risk of dying

compared to those who met US activity guidelines.
