It is generally known that obesity has an effect on various diseases. However, did you ever think that your immunity can also be influenced by obesity?

The most common method to judge body weight is Body Mass Index (BMI), a person’s weight (in kilograms) divided by the square of his or her height (in meters). Please click here (http://www.bmi-calculator.net/ ) to calculate your weight category and your BMI.
Globally, the number of overweight adults is more than 1 billion. And at least 300 million of them are clinically obese. Overweight and obesity are the main factors of chronic diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases and even cancer.
Recent studies indicate obesity could largely impair the immune system. An impaired immune function will cause the increase in chances for various infections. Do the vaccines work? The answer is probably not. Obesity has a quite high non-response rate to vaccination.
According to scientists’ researches, people affected by obesity have a higher level of white adipose tissue (WAT) in body. WAT, the white fat, can store extra calories and lead to a beer belly or love handles. In addition, there are still 2 kinds of fat exist in the body except white fat: brown fat and beige fat. Brown fat has the ability to burn calories to generate heat. Similarly, beige fat can also burn calories and creates heat. Moreover, beige fat is important for body to prevent obesity.

Through experiments, one group of immune cells named ILC2s existing in fat is extremely vital. They help fight infections and spur the development of beige fat cells, which means they could boost the body’s calorie burning. However, ILC2s were less common in fat from overweight and obese people. Obviously, obesity leads to increased risk of bacterial and viral infection as well as low responses rate to vaccinations.
Many studies have indicated that after weight-loss, the immunity will be enhanced.
Hence boosting immune system allows of no delay! What should we do?
In aspect of exercise:
Moderate exercise but not too intense of exercise (without adequate rest) is necessary.
In aspect of diet:
1.Eat lean meat, fish, fruit (apple, date, peer and so on), vegetables (aubergine, pumpkin, Chinese cabbage and so on), nuts, etc.

2.Drink light yogurt, low-fat or fat-free milk, at least 60 to 80 ounces of water per day.
3.Healthcare products are also very important in our daily life, such as cordyceps, propolis, pollen granule, Cen Forte, etc. Tasly has the high-quality healthcare products that can enhance immunity as well as invigorate health. You are welcome to try them.
Strengthening immunity, warding off obesity!
It is widely recommended by guidelines from European and some other cardiology organizations that patients with DM, especially those with at least one other cardiovascular risk factors, should consider to have aspirin treatment to reduce the risk of Coronary Artery Diseases (CAD).


Definitely, this treatment for patients with DM is guaranteed by hundreds of thousands of clinical tests for its advantages to the secondary prevention to CAD. However one question arises from the situation that whether the CAD status should be considered when suggesting patients with DM to take the aspirin treatment?
One recent research by experts in Netherlands shows that in 425 patients at high risk with DM (without chest pain syndrome or a history of cardiac disease), 27% had no CAD (stenosis < 30%), 37.5% had nonobstructive CAD (stenosis 30-49%), and only 35% had obstructive CAD (stenosis ≥50%). In most countries, it is accepted that aspirin is only useful if coronary atherosclerosis is present and acts in case of a thrombotic event which always indicates that the stenosis is larger and equal than 50%. Moreover, in a population-based cohort study, patients with DM had an increased risk of major bleeding compared to patients with DM. Through this result, if obstructive CAD (stenosis ≥50%) would have been selected as a cut off for stratification of patients, in 65% of patients aspirin use could have been avoided.


The research group suggested the patients with DM should monitor the CAD status to lower the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding when tailoring the aspirin treatment by Computed Tomography Angiography (CTA) or screening patients by assessing the Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) score.
The treatment for primary prevention to CAD in patients with DM is still the research focus in world medical centers, and an increasing number of experts suggested people to have the daily care such as physical exercises, healthy life style, and avoidance of CAD risk factors, meanwhile, taking the safe and natural healthcare supplements like Salvia miltiorrhiza is another considerate advice for a better primary prevention to coronary artery diseases (more infos will come up, keep eyes on us).


Do you regularly have aspirin in your daily life? Do you have any family members or friends who are taking aspirin against CVD with diabetes mellitus? Don’t hesitate to forward this thread to make help.
