Fat has a bad reputation, because it
causes overweight and obesity. However, not all fat is evil. In fact, storing
fat as an energy reserve (or calorie) is one of many ways the body can function
at its maximum.
The energy stored in the fat helps
you do the job or strenuous exercise.
Good fats also play a key role in
brain development, preventing inflammation and blood clotting.
Be thankful people whose bodies have
good fats in sufficient levels. But not all that lucky. There are many people
who lack fat. These people tend to be thin with a lower body mass index.
How do you know if your body weight
or body mass index is really below normal?
Use a calculator to calculate your
body mass index that is widely available on health websites on the internet.
Or, ask your doctor for help to
determine whether height, weight, what you eat and your activity level are
appropriate.
The cause of low weight:
Weight less than normal size standard
health can be caused by various reasons. It was important to note that not
everyone was skinny, suffering from health problems to deal with.
The following are some of the
possible causes of a person's low body weight according to the Family Doctor
health website run by the American Academy of Family Physicians:
• Genetics
If you've been 'thin' since high
school and your average family too, chances are you're born with a higher
metabolism than the average person. Naturally, maybe you also have less
appetite than others.
• High physical activity
\Exercise and physical activity can
affect your weight. If you move often means you burn more calories than people
who sit more. That is, your metabolism is higher and your body tends to be
slimmer.
• Diseases
Pain can affect your appetite and your
body's ability to manage food.
If you have just lost a lot of weight
without diet or exercise, it may be a sign of a disease such as thyroid
problems, diabetes, digestive diseases or even cancer.
Be sure to talk to your doctor about
your large and sudden weight loss.
• Drugs
Certain medications can cause nausea
and vomiting. Some types of treatment, such as chemotherapy can also reduce
appetite.
• Psychological problems
Factors such as stress and depression
can interfere with healthy eating habits. Non-self-esteem can also cause eating
disorders. If you suffer from an emotional problem that damages healthy eating
habits, consult your doctor.
Gain weight:
Just to gain weight, it is not
difficult. Eat a lot of fried potatoes plus sweet drinks every day, guaranteed
your weight will increase in a short time.
But our goal is not just to become
fatter. Our goal is to achieve ideal weight in a healthy way such as:
1. Add a healthy calorie
Without having to radically change
your diet, you can increase your caloric intake by adding extra nuts, full
cream milk, avocados, eggs or whole grains to your daily menu.
2. Choose nutrient dense foods
Instead of eating junk food, focus on
nutrient-rich foods such as low-fat beef, skinless chicken and cheese. Choose
low glycemic carbohydrate sources such as brown rice and whole grains.
3. Snacking
It's a good idea to snack between
breakfast time with lunch and between lunch with dinner. Choose snacks that
contain lots of protein and healthy carbohydrates like protein bars, boiled
peanuts or homemade milk shakes.
4. Eat small portions
If you are struggling with emotional
problems, eating in regular servings or large portions may be difficult to do.
Consider eating in small portions but
more often to increase your caloric intake.
5. Weight training.
Aerobic exercise can help burn
calories to lose weight. Conversely, weight training and yoga can help increase
weight by building your muscles. As a result, your body appears more toned and
contained.
Before starting the weight gain
program, be sure to consult your doctor first.
A thin body may mean there are health
problems that can not be corrected by dietary changes. Doctors help you track
progress of the "getting fatter" program.
