"Swine Flu can be FATAL if you’re overweight or Obese!"

Not a day goes by without a news flash about swine flu. It either scares you out of your wits or you become a somewhat immune to the scare mongering.

BUT these latest research finding ARE a bit scary!

Obesity emerges as new risk factor for severe flu…that’s right…U.S. researchers recently reported .that people who are obese but otherwise healthy, may be at special risk of severe complications and even death from the new H1N1 swine flu virus,

Researchers described the cases of 10 patients at a Michigan hospital who were so ill they had to be put on ventilators. Three died. Nine of the 10 were obese; seven were severely obese, including two of the three who died. Five of these patients had evidence of blood clots in the lungs.

This has not been previously known to occur in patients with severe influenza virus infections. Nine had multiple organ failure, which can be seen in influenza, but five had blood clots in the lungs, and six had kidney failure. None has fully recovered, the researchers said.

The researchers conclude …

”What this is telling us is that there can be severe complications associated with this virus infection, especially in severely obese patients”.

Their study was not designed to see if obesity or anything else poses a special risk factor for flu; but the researchers were surprised to see that seven of the 10 patients were extremely obese.

So with the vaccine for swine flu still a way off…it’s time to tackle the fat and give yourself a better survival chance.
