An-Najah News - A group of experts confirmed that losing weight can greatly help prevent infection with the coronavirus.

The researchers pointed out that getting rid of obesity increases the immunity of the human body in resisting this virus.

The statistics of infection with the corona virus in Britain revealed that 38% of the patients who entered the intensive care were overweight, and 55% of them died as a result of the disease.

Experts have warned that older people over the age of 60 are the most at risk.

Professor Frederick Carb, University of Oxford, said: “Abdominal fat causes the diaphragm to be raised upward, thus putting pressure on the lungs.”

He added: “There is no doubt that all scientific studies have confirmed that the corona virus mainly attacks the lungs.”
