Do lean people heal faster than overweight people?
It depends more on how active a person is than their actual weight. More activity causes increased blood flow carrying nutrients, oxygen and white blood cells to injuries increasing healing speed and efficiency. An overweight person may have less blood flow because of excess fat and lower activity which could effect healing. A person weighing more due to increased muscle would also have increased blood supply to these muscle tissues which would also cause increased healing.
