Skinny is not necessarily healthy

Hi Guys,

Today I want to talk a bit about becoming TOO skinny.

A lot of people these days are trying to lose weight. 

It seems to be an obsession.

A lot of people do not succeed in losing weight. 

However some people are successful.

The big question though is how skinny is healthy? 

A study has shown  that an individual having relatively no weight troubles can be at risk of developing the same conditions as an obese individual without the proper amount of exercise.

That maybe a quite surprising statement for a lot of people.

 Let us have a quick look at why this should be?

There is notion that overweight people are always sick and skinny people are generally healthy.

A lot of attention in the recent past has been placed on one’s body weight as the primary problem while forgetting about exercise. 

Clinicians have found that it is ideal to be lean and fit, but fit and fat comes in as a close second. 

The important word is fit.

When you become too skinny, you do not have fat reserves to call upon in an emergency.

This is essential for your health. 

The fat is required to protect your heart.

It supplies the energy it needs to keep beating. 

Without the extra fat, you could become liable to heart problems.

Fat is also required for your liver to function effectively.

As you can see, having too little fat on your body can be just as harmful as having too much fat.

My advice therefore is to make sure that you keep your body in balance by maintaining a normal weight and not to go too far in either weight loss or weight gain.

Just try and eat healthily and exercise about three times a week and you should not have an real issues.

I hope that comes as a bit of good news to you.

Regards,

Stephen Hart
