Why “Find your Why”? Because you might die based on that BMI?

Have you heard about the “Find your way and find your why” phenomena — which is like the Bible for business.

According to New York Times best selling author Simon Sinek, You have to have clearly articulated values and a clearly articulated cause or Why. We have to know Why the company exists beyond the product, beyond making money.” https://medium.com/thrive-global/new-york-times-best-selling-author-simon-sinek-on-how-millennials-can-thrive-eef24560f7e7

Sinek’s Ted Talk on “Start With Why” has over 8 million views on YouTube, so maybe he’s on to something?

In these Covid days, maybe we should start with our BMI?

What’s your BMI?

BMI is your body mass index. It is a number you want to know because this number could mean life or death if you, strike that, when you get COVID in the coming days, months, years and decades.

Stop. Right. Now. Use this link to calculate your BMI — https://www.cdc.gov/healthyweight/assessing/bmi/adult_bmi/english_bmi_calculator/bmi_calculator.html

40% of people living in the US are obese, and 32% are overweight. Together these obese and overweight people made up 77% of nearly 17,000 patients hospitalized with COVID.

“The impact extends to the 32% of people in the United States who are overweight. The largest descriptive study yet of hospitalized U.S. COVID-19 patients, posted as a preprint last month by Genentech researchers, found that 77% of nearly 17,000 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 were overweight (29%) or obese (48%). (The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention defines overweight as having a BMI of 25 to 29.9 kilograms per square meter, and obesity as a BMI of 30 or greater.).: See the following article in Science for more information:

Want to stay out of the hospital and avoid dying from Covid?

Get into that healthy weight range. Period. End of story.

My New Year’s resolution, is no longer a resolution.

What if we all ditched the resolution and opted to simply live a healthy way of life? A life where we feed our mind, body and soul with nutritious life sustaining sustenance.

One prayer, one workout, one bite of food, one night of rest, one meditation, one cup of water, one breath, one habit at a time. For more “one”______ this article may help:

So what about you in 2022?

Will it be a time for YOU to do your BEST YOU by getting a “healthy” BMI?

What will YOU DO IN 2022?
