For once, I find myself agreeing with the WHO.

You won’t see this on the national media.

Very early in this pandemic, Dr. Birx, at one of the White House Task Force press conferences, named obesity as one of the major comorbidities involved with deaths from COVID-19. She must’ve been told to stop talking about obesity because she never mentioned it again, at least not that I heard.

Anyone who looked at the data noticed that in countries where the people are not obese, there were far fewer deaths from coronavirus then in places like the United States. We are the most obese country in the world except for 11 islands whose total population is less than 1 million.

I hate to judge because I know how hard it is to maintain weight. My momma said, “Never spit in the well.” But...

See, it was a mistake to allow the grocery stores to remain open.

The relationship between obesity and cognitive health and decline
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 September 2017

Abstract: The relationship between obesity and cognitive impairment is important given the globally ageing population in whom cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disorders will carry grave individual, societal and financial burdens.

This review examines the evidence for the link between obesity and cognitive function in terms of both the immediate effects on cognitive performance, and effects on the trajectory of cognitive ageing and likelihood of dementia.

In mid-life, there is a strong association between obesity and impaired cognitive function.

Anthropometric measures of obesity are also associated with reduced neural integrity (e.g. grey and white matter atrophy). Increasing age coupled with the negative metabolic consequences of obesity (e.g. type 2 diabetes mellitus) are likely to significantly contribute to cognitive decline and incidence of dementia.

Stress is identified as a potential risk factor promoting abdominal obesity and contributing to impaired cognitive function.

However, the potentially protective effects of obesity against cognitive decline in older age require further examination. Finally, surgical and whole diet interventions, which address obesity may improve cognitive capacity and confer some protection against later cognitive decline.

In conclusion, obesity and its comorbidities are associated with impaired cognitive performance, accelerated cognitive decline and neurodegenerative pathologies such as dementia in later life. Interventions targeting mid-life obesity may prove beneficial in reducing the cognitive risks associated with obesity.

The worst thing a person can do to escape serious disease from COVID is to sit on his butt.
