  Let $C$ and $K$ be centrally symmetric convex bodies in ${\mathbb R}^n$. We
show that if $C$ is isotropic then \begin{equation*}\|{\bf
t}\|_{C^s,K}=\int_{C}\cdots\int_{C}\Big\|\sum_{j=1}^st_jx_j\Big\|_K\,dx_1\cdots
dx_s \leq c_1L_C(\log n)^5\,\sqrt{n}M(K)\|{\bf t}\|_2\end{equation*} for every
$s\geq 1$ and ${\bf t}=(t_1,\ldots ,t_s)\in {\mathbb R}^s$, where $L_C$ is the
isotropic constant of $C$ and $M(K):=\int_{S^{n-1}}\|\xi\|_Kd\sigma (\xi)$.
This reduces a question of V.~Milman to the problem of estimating from above
the parameter $M(K)$ of an isotropic convex body. The proof is based on an
observation that combines results of Eldan, Lehec and Klartag on the slicing
problem: If $\mu $ is an isotropic log-concave probability measure on ${\mathbb
R}^n$ then, for any centrally symmetric convex body $K$ in ${\mathbb R}^n$ we
have that $$I_1(\mu ,K):=\int_{{\mathbb R}^n}\|x\|_K\,d\mu(x)\leq
c_2\sqrt{n}(\log n)^5\,M(K).$$ We illustrate the use of this inequality with
further applications.
