Often people have been heard saying that obesity is the root of diseases and people keep this in mind. But you will be surprised to know that not only obesity but thinness can also be the root cause of diseases. Thin people can also have many lifestyle related problems. It has become a common belief that thin people are less prone to diseases. It is important to understand here that there can be some negative reasons for being thin.
Eating-drinking, smoking habit etc. can also be the cause of thinness. Let’s find out the four reasons thin people should pay attention to.
1. Sugar
Thin people are at a higher risk of getting diabetes. It is a serious disease in which insulin is not produced properly in the body and high blood sugar occurs. Such people think that they are healthy because they are thin, so they neglect regular health check-ups, which increases their health problems.
2. Bad cholesterol
There is no doubt that obese people are more likely to have bad cholesterol, but it is also true that thin people can also have bad cholesterol. Cases of high cholesterol can also be genetic. In such a situation, it does not matter whether you are thin or fat. So pay attention to your diet and get tests like lipid profile done regularly.
3. Disease resistance
Weight does not decide the problem of immunity. A person whose immunity system is strong will be able to fight diseases easily. If thin people do not eat a healthy diet, they may have immunity problems.
4. Can suffer from anemia
If you are very thin and you have persistent fatigue, abnormal heart rate, restlessness, shortness of breath, you may be suffering from anemia. Apart from iron, vitamin B12 in the body, anemia occurs due to lack of nutritious food. That’s why such thin people should not be too happy, rather special attention should be paid to hemoglobin level and diet.
5. Heart disease
There may be a link between leanness and heart health. Thin people are at a higher risk of problems like heart disease, high blood pressure and excess body fat.
