“Obesity” is one of the high risk factors for contracting new coronary pneumonia and causing serious illness. How should we lose weight and increase immunity at the same time? Xie Mingjia, deputy director of the Center for Intelligent Diabetes and Metabolic Exercise at the Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, offers 7 recommendations.
Zhang Shangchun, coordinator of the expert advisory group of the Central Epidemic Control Center, said: “Obesity” is one of the high-risk factors for new coronary pneumonia and serious diseases. A recent report in the UK looked at 196 “severe patients with new coronary pneumonia”, with an average age of 64 years, of whom 76.5% were overweight or obese.
Obese people are more likely to have a poor lung function virus infection is more severe
Looking back at previous observation and research on influenza in the United States, it was found that after obese patients became infected with influenza, it took 42% longer to clear the virus than those of normal weight; its mortality rate was 2 times higher. Dr. Xie Mingjia, deputy director of the Center for Intelligent Diabetes and Metabolic Exercise at the Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University, said exploring why “obesity” is the cause of new severe pneumonia.
1. The body of the obese person is inflamed for a long time, so the immune system is chaotic and the body cannot react to the virus. Therefore, it is easy to become infected or it can become serious.
2. Obese people are more likely to have chronic diseases, such as hypertension and abnormal glucose metabolism (diabetes / prediabetes). Recent observations on new coronary pneumonia in several countries have found that “high blood pressure” is an important factor in the severity and death of new coronary pneumonia; those with poor control of “diabetes” have a mortality rate of up to eight times.
3. Obese people are easy to have poor lung function, such as: hypoventilation syndrome, apnea syndrome, etc. Lung function is not good, so it is easy to become serious in this new coronary pneumonia storm.
Seven key points for obese people to lose weight and improve immunity
As for how to lose weight and improve immunity at the same time? Dr. Xie Mingjia offers 7 recommendations.
1. Diet adjustment: control calories, eat less refined sugar (because it will reduce immunity) and add enough protein.
2. Drink plenty of water: 2000 C.C per day.
3. Moderate exercise: at least 150 minutes per week, at least 30 minutes for 3 days, it is recommended to do aerobic exercise and muscular exercise.
4. Adequate sleep: lack of sleep is one of the causes of obesity. Furthermore, insomnia will also lower immunity.
5. Keep the mood happy: stress is also one of the reasons for obesity and will reduce immunity.
6. Sufficient dietary fiber: At least 25 grams of dietary fiber per day can increase intestinal bacteria and reduce inflammation.
7. Adequate amount of nutrients: enough vitamin B can maintain immunity and increase metabolic rate, lack of vitamin C and vitamin D will cause decreased immunity, zinc, selenium and magnesium have been found in animal and cell research and fights against viral immunity. Force related.
