141 - Beating Coronavirus - The Long-Term Plan No One Is Talking About

I’m sure you’re sick of hearing about Coronavirus - Well, sorry - not sorryIn all of the reports and interviews and articles - I haven’t heard a long-term plan that empowers individuals to make a difference! Social distancing, vaccines, economic stimulus — these don’t deal with the core issue. How well equipped are we to fight off fatal infections?Short answer? Not as well as we could be. But the good news is there are many things we can do about it to improve ourselves and our communities in short order. The truth is this: The novel SARS-2 Coronavirus is just one of THOUSANDS of viruses we have faced in the history of our species — and it’s not nearly as deadly as some we’ve faced. Unlike Smallpox, Ebola, Tuberculosis, the newest testing numbers coming from American cases show a relatively modest level of cardiovascular and metabolic fitness may move individuals from a “high risk” of fatal infection to a “low risk” or “asympotmatic” experience to infection from the virus. This means that there is ACTUALLY A LOT you can do for yourself and your loved ones to ensure a strong household and community. In this episode we will explore this more fully and, I hope, give you some guidelines to shoot for. If you are “high risk” - let’s make the most of it. If you are not “high risk” - let’s do everything we can to save the hospital beds for those that need it!Cited Beating COVID 19 FULL Article - definingdadbod.com/blog/coronavirus-covid19Harvard Study - Social Distancing in 2022 - https://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2020/04/14/science.abb5793Covid 19 Attacks Hemoglobin - https://chemrxiv.org/articles/COVID-19_Disease_ORF8_and_Surface_Glycoprotein_Inhibit_Heme_Metabolism_by_Binding_to_Porphyrin/11938173MentionedJoin The Inner Circledefiningdadbod.com/innercircleLatest NON-COVID Content: TRUFIT SERIESdefiningdadbod.com/trufitMeal Planning Tooldefiningdadbod.com/shop/mealplanStart Your Trial Weekdefiningdadbod.com/shop/trialweekBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faithful-fitness-with-coach-alex-vanhouten--5150768/support.
