Today we’re going to talk about the relationship between your fat and your immune system. What you really need to know is that obesity can weaken the immune system.

There are two main types of fat:
1. Superficial fat 
This is the fat around the body, which is right below your skin. With superficial fat, you’re going to have more accumulation of B cells, which make antibodies. You’re also going to have more T cells, which are also immune cells. 

2. Visceral fat
This is the fat in your midsection that’s spilling off from a fatty liver. In this case, the fat goes around and sometimes even inside of the organs. With visceral fat, you have more natural killer cells and killer T cells. 

This means you could have a lot of cytokines, which can cause a lot of inflammation. T-regulatory cells are supposed to suppress the cause of this inflammation, but you can be deficient in these cells when you have too much visceral fat. 

The other problem with having too much visceral fat is that the antibodies that you create against viruses and bacteria tend to lose their memory a lot faster. So, you have less fighting force when you have visceral fat. 

This situation can cause inflammation, which can weaken the immune system. Inflammation can also lead to insulin resistance. 

* This can apply to the COVID-19 situation in that one of the big predisposing factors is being overweight. Not to mention the other problems that come with being overweight. 

If someone is prediabetic, inflammation could be just the thing to push them into diabetes. The real difference between prediabetes and diabetes is that insulin resistance suddenly fails to compensate for insulin, and then the shift takes place. 

What you could do:

• Get on the healthy keto diet
• Do intermittent fasting

The benefits of salt for the immune system are incredible. Are you getting enough salt? 
 
Timestamps
0:04 Hypochlorite 
0:43 How does the body make bleach?
0:52 What happens when you don’t have enough salt?
1:05 How hypochlorite works
2:20 What causes a salt deficiency?

Today we’re going to talk about the potential benefits of salt for the immune system. It all has to do with a certain chemical called hypochlorite, which is the chemical name for bleach. Two of your immune cells actually make bleach to kill microbes. The body makes bleach from chloride—as in sodium chloride. It comes from salt. 

If you don’t have enough salt in your body, this mechanism becomes severely compromised. 

Hypochlorite (bleach) is a broad-spectrum microbicide, which basically poisons the microbe. It’s also much stronger than another chemical that these two immune cells use called hydrogen peroxide. 

What could cause a salt deficiency?
• Not consuming enough salt 
• Keto 
• Diarrhea 
• Vomiting 
• Diuretics 
• Too much potassium without salt 
• Adrenal burnout 
• Too much H2O
• Endurance exercise 

**When you take salt, I think sea salt is the best way to go. I really like pink Himalayan sea salt.

I was contemplating COVID-19 when something interesting popped out at me. Here’s what it was.

Timestamps
0:25 Differentiating factors
1:00 What we’re looking at
1:20 A study out of Santa Clara
2:10 Looking at the healthy group vs. the unhealthy group
3:33 What is the real problem?

Today we’re going to talk about COVID-19 and the real problem regarding COVID-19.

It can be very difficult to make sense of this very complex problem unless you start putting pieces of the data into different categories, such as healthy people and unhealthy people. When talking about unhealthy people, I mean those people who have pre-existing health problems, such as metabolic syndrome.

A few examples of metabolic syndrome are:

• High blood pressure
• Cardiovascular disease
• High cholesterol
• Diabetes
• Obesity
• Insulin resistance

I created two categories: healthy people and unhealthy people. I put the infection fatality rates underneath each category. I also added additional data from a study out of Santa Clara, which revealed there could have been more people that were infected with the coronavirus.

With this study, they used the antibody test. This means they didn’t test for the infection but for the antibodies. A person who has antibodies to COVID-19 has already been infected by the virus and recovered. Looking at all of the data, including the antibody test, it seems the virus may be much less dangerous than once believed.

Looking at the healthy group according to this data (out of the people who have been infected):

Ages 0-17 — Have a 99.9995% survival rate
Ages 18-44 — Have a 99.9784% survival rate
Ages 45-64 — Have a 99.9029% survival rate
Ages 65-74 — Have a 99.8295% survival rate
Ages 75+ — Have a 99.6226% survival rate

Looking at the unhealthy group according to this data (out of the people who have been infected):

Ages 0-17 — Have a 99.9988% survival rate
Ages 18-44 — Have a 99.9051% survival rate
Ages 45-64 — Have a 99.4325% survival rate
Ages 65-74 — Have a 99.4425% survival rate
Ages 75+ — Have a 98.9697% survival rate

So, is the real problem the virus, or a weak immune system/metabolic syndrome?

A big problem is that we’re lumping both categories together and treating both groups the same—when the great majority fall in the healthy category and not the unhealthy category.

The entire focus has been on the virus. But, what about what we could do for metabolic syndrome and the immune system? Fixing the virus will not fix the pre-existing health problems, so the next time the virus comes around, we have the same problem happening over and over again.
