Reducing High Risk for Chronic Health Conditions & Weakened Immunity
In October 2019, the Center for
Disease Control indicated that six in ten adults in the US
have a chronic disease and four in ten adults have two or more.
The 10 most common chronic health conditions (2018) and the
National Health Impact percentage:
1. Hypertension, 12.5%
2. Major Depression, 9%
3.
High Cholesterol, 8.6%
4. Coronary Artery Disease, 7%
5.
Type 2 Diabetes, 5.5%
6. Substance Use Disorder, 3.4%
7.
Alcohol Use Disorder, 3.3%
8. Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary
Disease (COPD), 3.3%
9. Psychotic Disorder, 2.9%
10.
Crohn’s Disease/Ulcerative Colitis, 2.7%
Black, Indigenous, and people of color
(BIPOC) are 1.5 to 2.0 times more likely
to develop many of the major chronic health conditions. Diabetes,
lung diseases, and serious heart conditions have been particularly
relevant to COVID-19 risk. A 2020 study by John Hopkins found that
chronic stress can weaken immunity , making BIPOC
communities more vulnerable to diseases like COVID-19 (and the
underlying health conditions that increase the risk of COVID-19).
Unresolved emotional pain and trauma significantly increase risks
for impaired immunity.
Contribute to Community Health & Wellbeing
Living Sanctuary, a community-based organization, is raising funds to increase service accessibility.
When you contribute, your gift supports the Pay-It-Forward program to provide quality, mind-body/holistic health and wellbeing resources by donation. The participants donations contribute to more donation-based individual and group sessions, workshops, and classes to serve more people. All resources are provided by phone or video conferencing.
We help people heal from oppression and daily life stressors. This
includes experiences of income disparity, inequality, injustice,
prejudice, discrimination, violence, and systemic racism. Emotional
pain and trauma (personal, ancestral, transgenerational, community,
and cultural) are addressed to improve health and wellbeing, manage
chronic health conditions, strengthen immunity, and optimize quality
of life.
Our goal is to raise $1000 by January 31, 2021!
The pandemic and conflicts that have divided the nation have
increased the need for emotional-mental support and resources for
holistic health and wellbeing. We invite you to contribute to the
Living Sanctuary Pay-It-Forward Program. You
will be helping people to access care and self-help tools that may be
otherwise unavailable to them. We greatly appreciated any amount that
you give.
For your contribution of $5 or more, you will receive an immunity health guide.
Thank you for your gift!
