 Coronavirus warning to those who are overweight


Drawing attention to the danger of obesity in coronavirus, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Haluk Saçaklı said: “People need more oxygen because they are fat. This means that organ systems are subjected to greater stress. This can be a serious problem with infections such as coronavirus.”


Assoc. Prof. Dr. Haluk Saçaklı drew attention to the danger of obesity in coronavirus and made recommendations about balanced nutrition and conscious exercise to protect against coronavirus. Stating that overweight people have lower lung capacity, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Haluk Saçaklı said: “This situation makes it more difficult to provide oxygen to the blood and body. Because people are fat, they need more oxygen, which means that their organ systems are exposed to greater pressure. This can be a serious problem with infections such as coronavirus. The body eventually becomes tired due to the inadequate oxygen supply to the organs. In obese people, the body's defense systems against the virus are weaker than those of ideal weight.”
