How it Works
If we look at the factors that influence potentially poor outcomes after contracting COVID-19, we cannot control our age. However, we do have some control over the number of comorbidities that we have. Hypertension, obesity, adult onset diabetes, and asthma are comorbidities that we can control to some extent. Heart disease and chronic lung diseases are less influenced by what we do on a daily basis. If we make significant lifestyle changes and modify our diets we can significantly decrease our blood pressure, lose significant amounts of weight and even control our tendencies toward suffering an asthma attack.
