For most people, losing weight and keeping it off involves creating a long-term strategy. Thats because many things besides what you eat can affect the number you see on the scale. Food, health conditions, and even lifestyle factors (like stress and how much sleep you get) can make it harderor easierto lose weight. Juliana Simonetti, MD Endocrinology and Metabolism, General Surgery joined Good Things Utah to talk about the risk factors associated with COVID-19 and obesity.

We know that obesity is one of the risk factors for COVID infection. Those with excess weight, even at a younger age, are having a more severe disease and higher rates of death if they have obesity. It is thought that obesity causes our body to heighten inflammation and with the COVID infection this makes the inflammation worse causing the more severe symptoms.

We tend to eat more and crave foods that are higher in calories and carbs when we are stressed i.e. COVID-19. Those foods physically make us feel better by releasing dopamine into our brains (the feel-good hormone). The problem is, this doesnt last long and the more we have, the more we want. We also have easier access to food when we are working from home. To add to the issue, some are seeing a decrease in physical activity with gyms being closed and/or fear of exercising in public places.

Here are some health tips to follow during COVID-19:
