TT: New Research: COVID Worsened with Extra Weight Gain

I hope by now you know that when I mention anything pertaining to weight gain or loss it is not about vanity metrics or having to conform to a specific body size…

My work is centered around helping people optimize their entire well-being and improve their quality of life…

And one of the most critical factors in living longer and reducing “dis-ease” risk (co-morbidities) is by maintaining a healthy weight…

I bring this up today because based on new research we now definitively know that COVID is worsened with extra weight gain…

On today’s #CabralConcept 2162 I will share with you why that is and how we can improve outcomes – Enjoy the show and let me know what you thought in the comments!

Show Highlights & Big Takeaways

1. Body Types

Based on my BMI research which applies to 99% of all adults, there is an approximate 40 lbs swing in healthy weights based on height. That means two people of the same height can vary up to 40 pounds and both can still be healthy.

2. IL-6

Interleukin 6 can be either an immune stimulant or in the case of obesity or chronic disease a pro-inflammatory agent increasing risk factors for poor viral outcomes.

3. Viewing Weight as A Health Outcome

Your weight should be looked at as one health marker and not as a vanity metric or tied to a person’s self-worth. You are not your weight, but your weight is a major factor in your health.
