Losing weight is an important safety measure for the COVID-19 pandemic when you are obese or even overweight. You cannot afford to postpone it anymore!
People with obesity are more likely than normal-weight people to have other diseases that are independent risk factors for severe COVID-19, including heart disease, lung disease, and diabetes. They are also prone to metabolic syndrome, in which blood sugar levels, fat levels, or both and blood pressure may be high.
Beyond an impaired response to infections, people with obesity also suffer from chronic, low-grade inflammation.
Be responsible for you and your family welfare!
