New PHE report confirms that excess weight can increase risk of serious illness and death from COVID-19

People who are obese are at greater risk of several adverse health conditions such as hypertension, heart attacks, stroke, heart failure, type 2 diabetes, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and some cancers in adults. Excess fat can affect the respiratory system and is likely to affect inflammatory and immune function, potentially impacting on the response to infection and increasing vulnerability to severe symptoms of COVID-19.
The report also emphasises that whilst some data suggests that more people have exercised during lockdown, there is also evidence that snack food, take-away foods and alcohol sales have also increased.
Losing weight can bring huge benefits for overall health; and may also help protect against the health risks of COVID-19.
Take the step to healthier living by adopting a renewed mind-set that steers toward clean eating coupled plus more exercise!
