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. DATA: https://www.cell.com/immunity/pdfExte... 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.
