COVID-19 'bites the apple': Abdominal obesity ignites cytokine storm

Abdominal obesity increases the risk of severe COVID-19 and mortality due to heightened inflammatory responses, according to a study on Japanese patients and a murine COVID-19 model. Blocking inflammatory cytokines and preventing obesity may improve survival rates.

Can intermittent fasting tackle obesity-related inflammation?

Research reviews the effects of two forms of intermittent fasting, time-restricted eating (TRE) and alternate-day fasting (ADF), on body weight and key circulating inflammatory markers (CRP, TNF-alpha, and IL-6) in adults with obesity. The results suggest that intermittent fasting has little or no effect on key inflammatory markers, but more research is needed to confirm these findings.
