Is thinness and good health the same concept?
Some people equate thinness with health, which is incorrect. Let me introduce the concept of body mass index first. Body mass index is an important index to evaluate weight loss, obesity and overweight. His calculation method is that our weight is divided by twice our height, and the height here should be converted into meters. If the body mass index is less than 18, it means emaciation; If it is greater than 24, it means overweight; If it is greater than 27, it means obesity.

The concept of good health has been promoted to a new height. He doesn't mean that there is no disease, but also that he is mentally healthy and has good social adaptability. So from this perspective, the requirements for us are very high. Thin is relative to fat. The thinner we are, the healthier we are. On the contrary, thinness will bring us many diseases and pains, so it is good to be healthy, and there is no need to pursue thinness excessively.

Many people know that fat people are prone to high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes, but everyone thinks that thin people are less likely to get sick. This is a wrong idea, thin people will also be favored by many diseases, and other indicators of the body will be abnormal. Therefore, reasonable diet, proper exercise, good living habits and normal weight are the healthiest.

1. Thin people are prone to diseases such as anemia, gallstones and osteoporosis.

Too thin people generally have the problem of unbalanced nutrient intake, and insufficient intake of hematopoietic substances such as iron, folic acid and vitamin B 12 leads to anemia. Too thin people generally have insufficient calorie intake, so the fat in body tissues will be consumed at an accelerated rate, and cholesterol will also move with it, leading to an increase in its content in bile, thus forming stones for a long time. Women who are too thin have insufficient estrogen, which affects the combination of calcium and bone and is prone to osteoporosis and fracture.

2, thin people in addition to normal blood lipids, other tests are the same as ordinary people. So some indicators will be as abnormal as normal people.

These indicators include liver and kidney function. They will be as abnormal as normal people, and thin people have lower resistance to diseases than normal people. They eat less food, and the intake of nutrients such as protein is insufficient, which leads to the lack of some necessary nutrients in the human body and is easy to cause diseases.

Therefore, thin people still need a reasonable diet, proper exercise, good living habits, and normal weight is the healthiest.
