By losing just six kilograms obese people can prevent and even reverse the effects of Type 2 Diabetes and coronary artery disease, according to a new study by the Garvan Institute.
Excess body fat triggers the production of immune cells that attack the body instead of their usual function: protecting it. These altered immune cells can harden the arteries and cause Type 2 Diabetes. But the good news is that by losing as little as six kilograms, obese people can reduce the level of these damaging immune cells in their body to the same levels found in lean people.
So you don’t have to lose lots of weight to reduce your health risks - and there is a cheaper way to boost your immune system than buying expensive antioxidants and fish oil supplements. A loss of six kilograms may just be enough.
