Do you remember back in January when I told you all that my Chinese Medicine mentors were calling COVID-19 a "damp plague?"
This "dampness" that they are referring to (also known as gut dysbiosis or water metabolism dysregulation) is identical to the insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome that are caused by overconsumption of sugars, starches, and refined seed oils.
Basically, the ingredients in all processed foods.
When consumed these food-like products cause chronic systemic inflammation and set the conditions for developing type 2 diabetes, obesity, heart disease, stroke, Alzheimer's disease, and even cancer.
Dr. Mark Hymann is one of the leading Functional Medicine doctors in the US. He goes into great detail of how COVID-19 and metabolic syndrome diseases are related. Here is a link to a podcast video from Dr. Mark Hymann.
This is a basic summary of what he addresses in the video:
"As we continue to learn more about COVID-19, we continue to see a pattern in those more at risk. People who aren’t metabolically healthy (think obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and hypertension) are much more likely to experience severe complications if they are to get the virus. And to put that in perspective, only 1 in 8 Americans are considered metabolically healthy. That means a lot of us are at risk during this already alarming time. We can start changing that today, though, and create a newfound health baseline while creating a greater level of resilience when it comes to chronic disease and future situations like this. The US isn’t the only place dealing with an epidemic of obesity and other metabolic diseases. The UK and other parts of the world are also struggling, thanks to the spread of the ultra-processed food and a sedentary lifestyle."
