“Obesity affects Covid’s results, so we need to address it.”

Dr. Eber Authmond urges the government to follow Boris Johnson’s example of encouraging residents to shed panrismic kilometers.

Television doctors believe the country will be engrossed in the crisis of obesity that is worsening during the blockade.

International studies show more than 2 kilos of Covid-19 weight gain in France and Italy, whereas American studies show that every five to two-4.5 percent due to extra snacks at home. I found that I was taking kg.

“Everyone is talking about the famous Covid stone,” Dr. Eva said.

“I think the French weighed an average of 2 kg against a pandemic, and between 3 and 6 kg in Spain.

“I didn’t put on weight. I was in Portugal because I was seriously working.

“Some people focused and lost weight, but we’re talking about the majority of Irish people. We’re probably overweight. Some 60pc were already overweight or even pre-Covid-19 or I was obese.”

Studies show that obesity is a risk factor for coronavirus cases, so Dr. Eva, who holds a master’s degree in public health, says the government needs to urgently emphasize the problem.

A study published last week confirmed obesity and increased the likelihood of admission to the Covid-19 hospital.

“Before there was a serious epidemic, now everything is focused on the pandemic, but we need to tell people that there is a serious link between Covid-19 and the worst consequences of obesity,” she said. Said.

“At least in Britain, Boris Johnson [population] I am overweight and obese.

“I have never heard [Irish] The minister says anything about overweight and obesity. They need to combat not only Covid, but also overweight and obesity, and link to the worse outcomes of overweight and obese people.

“All international data suggests it’s going in a worse direction, and this pandemic didn’t help.”

Obesity specialists with weight loss clinics in Dublin, Cork and Galway also highlight the importance of vitamin D, which plays a key role in the body’s immune response to fight infectious diseases like Covid-19. I asked the government to do so.

Vitamin D researchers in Australia say 30,000 studies have shown to reduce acute respiratory tract infections.

It is estimated that 1 in 8 Irish adults under the age of 50 are deficient in sunlight vitamins, but just over a quarter in their 70s lack vitamin D from the sun and various food sources It is estimated that

“Vitamin D deficiency is another problem associated with Covid-19. Who is talking about vitamin D deficiency?” the doctor said.

“The other day, when I took blood from one of the patients, his vitamin D was 20 nmol / l. It should exceed 80 nmol / l.

“This Covid-19 is obviously not going to disappear, so there are many things that can help people build immunity. It basically learns to live with illness in different ways, making people more immune. I’m trying to be strong,” she said. ..

She believes her strong immune system protects people from viruses.

“Many people who have it are asymptomatic because they have a good immune system,” she said.

“I haven’t had the flu so it’s no surprise if it does. The immune system seems to be very good. But I’m taking care of the immune system. ..

“According to the WHO, 80 percent of cases are mild or asymptomatic. All regulations are negatively impacting the country’s economy, causing economic and psychological harm, and eradicating the virus.” Is stupid.”

“We need to learn to live with viruses and work on making people healthier with a healthier immune system,” she added.

In the past few months, a well-known doctor wondered why the government couldn’t tackle the obesity crisis in a manner similar to a pandemic.

She said: “I’ve been wondering how much money was suddenly found for unemployment benefits and all these different aids throughout this Covid crisis.

“Why I couldn’t find the money to give people the right [weight loss] Advice and proper weight loss clinics? “

Prior to the pandemic, she said 10pc of her health budget was spent treating type 2 diabetes.

“Type 2 diabetes is a lifestyle-related condition. 99 percent of people with type 2 diabetes are overweight or obese,” she added.

She said she was worried that sociable youth might be eating more than once a night in a pub under current guidelines.

“This whole situation has to be very strange for young people who are accustomed to meeting friends.

“Some young people may be careful not to eat anything during the day and go out to gain weight, but 25 percent of children and teens are overweight and obese.

“And a 70pc obese and overweight teenager remains obese as an adult.”

Prevention was an important element in the fight against obesity, she said.

That’s why she believes it’s so important to reach out to young children and their parents.

“If someone becomes overweight or obese, it’s much harder to correct, so you need to start with your children. It’s hard not to have parents on board.”

As the country’s waistline continues to expand, hospitals warn that it will overrun.

“Coronary disease is associated with cancer, type 2 diabetes, and all of these lifestyles.”

“Lose weight is not easy, but it seems like my patients can do it, so it can.”
