Social distancing, hand washing and staying home are all ways you can reduce your risk for contracting COVID-19. But what if you contract the virus? Is there a way to make sure you have fewer complications?
New research is showing that after age, obesity is one of the biggest risk factors associated with hospitalizations and poorer health outcomes for those under the age of 60 who have contracted the virus.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is also reporting that people with heart disease and diabetes are at a higher risk for developing complications. Research has long shown that people with obesity have an increased risk for serious diseases and health conditions like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and more.
Don’t worry, it’s not all doom and gloom. In a world of uncertainties related to the effects of coronavirus on our health and daily lives, we do know one thing for certain — that healthy lifestyle changes can help prevent and manage obesity.
