Nick Cannon is NOT letting his HEALTH STRUGGLES deter him from his FITNESS goals!
Cannon is continuing to use his platform to share his lupus journey and help others living with the disease. On April 23, the Masked Singer host, 43, posted a photo on his Instagram Stories of him getting blood work done, calling himself a lupus warrior. “Constant reminder that health is the real wealth!!!
Lupus is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system mistakes healthy tissues as foreign invaders and attacks them rather than targeting the bad bacteria and viruses. It causes inflammation that can affect the joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart, and lungs. There is currently no cure for the disease.
In January 2022, Cannon marked a decade since receiving his lupus diagnosis with a throwback video featured on The Nick Cannon Show. In the six-minute video, which is filmed in black-and-white, Cannon consulted doctors, underwent physical change and shifted his diet.
“Ten years ago, I experienced a sudden and mysterious illness that almost took my life,” he told his audience before playing the clip. “At the time, I had no idea it was lupus. And, you know me, I always have to have a camera on. So I would literally open up my phone, grab my camera and I would talk to the camera, and I documented the entire health journey.”
