Welcome to Education Spire! What's
wrong with you if you are too thin? it is very true a thin person is
far better than an obese person but over limit of a thing is always
harmful. So this is also truth that being underweight has its own
hazards.
Those who are extremely lean and thin have a propensity to have weaker
immune systems, making them prone to infections, surgical
complications, and poor recovery times for sickness. They have a
propensity to have low muscle mass and poor quality of hair, teeth, and
skin texture and also have delayed puberty. They may have interference
in the ability to regulate hormones, shield bone health and females
could become unable to menstruate. General symptoms include early
tiredness, poor digestion, irritability, disturbed sleep, body ache,
headache, throat infection and fractures.
Like obesity, thinness can be caused medically, genetically and
environmentally. Medical causes are infectious disease, hormonal
imbalance, Type-1 diabetes and sometime tumors etc. In children, the
incapability to gain weight may warning sign a condition known as
"failure to thrive," which means a child is not growing aptly for
his/her age. This may be caused by an disease, or eating habits
dictated by a parental idiosyncrasy. According to a study there have
been children who have not developed appropriately since they did not
get sufficient nutrients from being on a uncooked foodstuff,
macrobiotic, or vegetarian diet.
All these things could be kept away by removing the underlined cause
and sustaining a healthy weight, a measurement that obviously varies
from individual to individual. Another measure could be a person’s body
mass index (BMI), which is a system to sort size based on a person's
height and weight. |
