Previous studies have shown that the recovery speed of critically ill patients is positively correlated with the patient's weight, that is, the fatter the patient is, the greater the possibility of survival after serious illness, which means that as the saying goes, "the fatter the patient is, the more he can endure illness for a while." This is because there is a considerable amount of adipose tissue in obese patients. When they are seriously ill, especially during fasting, these "oils" can be metabolized to produce energy to fill the energy consumed when they are sick.
However, the fat storage in the thin body is limited, and it can't stand consumption, and it will soon be exhausted. Doctors often need to supplement nutrients such as exogenous fat emulsion through veins to supplement the "high energy consumption" when the human body is sick. However, the quality of exogenous fat "refined oil" is much lower than that of endogenous "self-oil" (fat), and sometimes there are allergic, fever, fat overload syndrome and other adverse reactions during infusion.

Health risks of obesity
1, apnea
Under normal circumstances, night breathing is controlled by spontaneous frequency, which is controlled by the brain under the skin. You don't need to be awake to breathe, but for fat people, fat accumulation in the throat will block the airway and easily lead to apnea. The most severe apnea lasts for three or four minutes, and once the brain is seriously deprived of oxygen, it is life-threatening at any time.
2, increase the heart load
Obese people have a greater burden on their hearts. Because obese people store too much fat in their blood, when the heart is overwhelmed, they can no longer pump blood effectively, and even have obvious heart failure.
3. Tumor
Obesity is closely related to many kinds of tumors. Obesity can increase the incidence of gastrointestinal tumors, gynecological tumors, urinary system tumors, breast tumors and so on.
