Here is a great article medical folks will be interested in especially.
"Some incredible research has been released providing us even further insights into the “at risk” populations for COVID-19.
This time, the work was done by the World Obesity Federation, which used COVID-19 mortality data from Johns Hopkins University and the World Health Organization.
I was anxious to the see the results. I’ve actually written about obesity as being the key factor that differentiates the dramatically lower mortality rates seen in countries like Japan, South Korea, and so many others throughout Asia. I was based in Tokyo for nearly 20 years, and I worked extensively throughout Asia for more than two decades… I know the region like my backyard.
I’ve spoken with many people about this. And the one “argument” I’ve heard a few times is that “there are obese people in every country.” Of course, the statement is correct… but it misses the point.
The World Obesity Federation’s research analyzed data from 160 countries. It determined that, of the 2.5 million reported COVID-19 deaths as of this February, 2.2 million were in countries where more than half of the population is considered to be overweight. Wow.
We already know that the majority of COVID-19 mortalities happen at 65 years or older, with patients that have at least two or three underlying comorbidities. And now we know that across all age groups, 88% of all reported COVID-19 deaths happened in the most overweight countries.
And get this. Not a single country where the average adult BMI was below 25 experienced a high COVID-19 mortality rate. Not one.
Even more telling is that COVID-19 mortality rates were more than 10 times higher in countries where the prevalence of obesity was more than 50% of adults.
And in the U.S. alone, 63.5% of all COVID-19 hospitalizations were attributable to patients with diabetes, high BMI, hypertension, and heart failure. These are all conditions that are a direct result of obesity.
This is a very personal issue for me because, just six months ago, I was in that category. And I didn’t even know it. My BMI was 34.2, which was at dangerous levels. And not surprisingly, both my visceral and subcutaneous fat were way out of range.
It was a wake-up call for me. I worked extremely hard with diet, nutrition, and exercise to drop 40 pounds and decrease my BMI to 29.7, which would bring my visceral fat back well within normal range.
I've been putting a lot of work in on the stationary rowing machine. And I'm happy to report that I recently broke the 20-minute barrier on the 5,000 meter run last month.
I’m still overweight and have some more work to do. But not only have I dramatically improved my immune system – I feel fantastic.
If there’s one thing that I could wish for all my readers, it would be good health. Yes, I can help my subscribers make a lot of money investing. But without good health, it quickly becomes difficult to enjoy wealth.
One of the true secrets to longevity, health, and high performance is working hard to give our bodies great nutrition. We must aim to avoid the things that will slowly kill us over time. And we need regular exercise to stay healthy and strong."
