We continue our series, "New Year, New You", by talking about why obesity makes a person more susceptible to COVID-19. And Dr. Prather tells about the 4 key nutrients recommended by the Centers for Disease Control that make a difference in fighting COVID-19. In this episode, you'll discover:
—The current projected safety of the COVID-19 vaccines. And why some European countries want to evaluate them more.
—Why the COVID-19 strain found in pigs in China is cause for concern if that variant spreads into the human population.
—How long you should wait to get the COVID-19 vaccine after you've already had the virus.
—Why a higher fat percentage causes your body to have a lower thermogenesis, which is the body's ability to burn calories.
—How the body's hypothalamus has an "image" of what your body's set weight should be and will fight you to keep this set weight (even if it's a bad weight).
—The difference between "obesity" and "overweight". And why BMI (Body Weight Index) can be "misleading".
—The danger of "skinny fat" and why Dr. Prather focuses on fat percentage.
—How 42% of adult Americans are obese, making America the fattest country in the entire world. And the myriad of health issues associated with obesity, such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, and kidney disease.
—The World War II military reason that INTENTIONALLY designed an American diet which increased recommended calories.
—Why Dr. Prather emphasizes diagnostics and lab tests to help patients determine how to get where they want to be with their weight goals. And how this approach helps eliminate frustration for patients who aren't getting results even with proper diet and exercise changes.
