Since the pandemic began, dozens of studies have reported that many of the sickest COVID-19 patients have been people with obesity. In recent weeks, that link has come into sharper focus as large new population studies have cemented the association and demonstrated that even people who are merely overweight are at higher risk. For example, in the first metaanalysis of its kind, published on 26 August in Obesity Reviews, an international team of researchers pooled data from scores of peer-reviewed papers capturing 399,000 patients. They found that people with obesity who contracted SARS-CoV-2 were 113% more likely than people of healthy weight to land in the hospital, 74% more likely to be admitted to an ICU, and 48% more likely to die.
[…]People with obesity should take extra care to avoid getting sick, Messaoudi says. “If you are a person with obesity, be extra, extra cautious,” she says. “Wear your mask. Wash your hands. Avoid large gatherings.”
In addition, exercising and, separately, losing even a little weight can improve the metabolic health of a person with obesity, and, in doing so, reduce their chances of developing severe COVID-19 if they become infected, says Stephen O’Rahilly, a physician-scientist who directs the MRC Metabolic Diseases Unit at the University of Cambridge. “If you’re 300 pounds, even losing a modest amount is likely to have a disproportionate benefit on how well you do with coronavirus infection. You don’t have to become a slim Jim to benefit.”
Eating foods containing the amino acids and nutrients from which collagen is formed provides your body with the raw materials for making more collagen without supplements. All the components of collagen can be found in whole plant foods: beans and legumes, nuts and seeds, fruits and vegetables, and whole grains.
To get the full range of nutrients that support collagen production:
- Consume enough protein for your activity level
- Eat more leafy greens to increase copper intake[7]
- Consume a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables to increase your intake of vitamin C and other antioxidants
- Add hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds, cashews, and other high-zinc nuts and seeds to meals[8]
- Include beans, root vegetables, and whole soy products in your diet to increase your intake of hyaluronic acid, a component of the collagen in skin[9]
Additionally, you can preserve the collagen you already have by avoiding foods and lifestyle habits that increase free radical production or inflammation. To prevent damage:
- Remove added sugars from your diet
- Limit direct UV exposure
- Don’t smoke, and stay away from secondhand smoke
Following healthy diet and lifestyle patterns, including consuming a variety of whole plant foods, supports your body’s innate collagen production. In the majority of cases, this should be enough to see the same benefits ascribed to collagen supplements. If not, talk with a knowledgeable physician to determine if you have an underlying condition that affects collagen production so that you can address and correct the root cause.
Trans fats are now officially banned in the United States due to health concerns.
The Food and Drug Administration has ruled that partially hydrogenated oils [also known as trans fatty acids or trans fats] are no longer “generally recognized as safe” or GRAS. As of next month, U.S. food manufacturers may not use trans fats in food products without FDA approval. Some cities, notably New York City, have also banned them.
NBC News, May 14, 2018
Palm oil is quickly replacing the notorious hydrogenated oils, but palm oils are as unhealthy as trans fats. Remaining solid at room temperature, its consumption promotes blockages in the cardiovascular system. It also promotes human trafficking for labor purposes, and devastating fires in Southeast Asia. Besides corporate profits there really is no reason to consume palm oil. Read the contents on packaged foods. You’ll find it listed under a variety of ingredients:
[…] major retailers discovered the cheap oil from Southeast Asia had almost magical qualities. It had a long shelf-life, remain nearly solid at room temperature and didn’t smoke up kitchens, even when used for deep frying.
When researchers started warning that trans fats [hydrogenated oils] like those found in margarine posed serious health risks, demand for palm oil soared even higher.
Just about every part of the fruit is used in manufacturing, from the outer flesh to the inner kernel, and the versatility of the oil itself and its derivatives seem endless.It helps keep oily substances from separating and turns instant noodles into steaming cups of soup, just by adding hot water. It’s used in baby formula, non-dairy creamers and supplements and is listed on the labels of everything from Jif Natural peanut butter to Kit Kat candy bars.
Often hidden amid a list of scientific names on labels, it’s equally useful in a host of cleansers and makeup products. It bubbles in shampoo, foams in Colgate toothpaste, moisturizes Dove soap and helps keep lipstick from melting.
But the convenience comes with a cost: For workers, harvesting the fruit can be brutal.
