There was a story yesterday in the Washington Post that discussed the fact that the death rate with the current Swine flu is higher in obese people than in the non-obese. Is the immune system compromised by being obese? Clearly, diabetes adversely impacts on the immune system, but not all obese people have diabetes.
Medically, it is well known about the association of obesity with heart disease, diabetes, stroke, arthritis, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, sleep apnea and other life-threatening illnesses, but the immune system is not discussed often.
Yet another reason why your weight loss efforts are so vitally important to have you become healthier and therefore happier. Your investment in money and time is well worth your efforts. Sabotaging food sources may provide some element of immediate gratification, but is it really worth the morbidity and suffering that the aforementioned disease processes can inflict on you?
