What's this?

Another reason for obese people to lose weight NOW!


Obese people are 48 per cent more likely to die of Covid-19 than people of a healthy weight, according to research.

Scientists looked at medical data to find that being severely overweight also raised the risk of hospitalisation more than double (113 per cent). People were also 74 per cent more likely to end up in intensive care if they were obese, the study added.

Scientists said excessive sugar in the blood and swelling in blood vessels, which are more common in overweight people, interfere with immune cells and mean fat people can't fight off infection as well.
