During the pandemic, the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta provides guidance and information and this is what they say:
“People of any age with certain underlying medical conditions are at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19:
People of any age with the following conditions are at increased risk of severe illness from COVID-19:
Cancer
Chronic kidney disease
COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease)
Immunocompromised state (weakened immune system) from solid organ transplant
Obesity (body mass index [BMI] of 30 or higher)
Serious heart conditions, such as heart failure, coronary artery disease, or cardiomyopathies
Sickle cell disease
Type 2 diabetes mellitus”
As can be seen from the above, most of the risk factors for a more severe farm of COVID have to do with obesity including diabetes, and obesity itself.
Unfortunately, the lockdown is making people gain weight so much so that we are calling it “The other COVID-19”, where people gain about 19-20 lbs during the pandemic.
The good news is that, using clinically proven, non surgical weight loss measures, W8MD weight loss program can help. Having been established for about 10 years, and taking most insurances with minimal program fee, W8MD can help.
Telemedicine options available so you may not have to leave your house to lose weight. We have offices in Pennsylvania and New York, coming soon to New York. Check W8MD.com to learn more.
