I believe that the issue of fat and thin, no matter what age group will be placed in a heated discussion, this seems to be an eternal topic, we find that people in the party, the first concern is the fat and thin of others, people like to hear the most polite words are also "only these days do not see, how thin again", I believe that both young people or I believe that both young and old people are not resistant to this phrase.

Before fat and thin seems to be just a topic of discussion for young people in pursuit of the perfect body, but in recent years, with the rise of the short video platform, the major anchors are promoting health and wellness, and it seems that health is pointing to "thin", the market is also a variety of health tea to thin the selling point of the big sale, earn a lot of money.

The network on a variety of "health fat loss meals" also makes a lot of people dizzy, regardless of the direction of running to lose weight, it seems that only thin on behalf of health.

Especially the elderly, pay more attention to their health, and do not want to give their children added trouble, so this purchase of health care products, in hearing "a thousand dollars to buy old to be thin" is also felt very reasonable.

They think that some people suffering from diseases are relatively fat, like "four high" these diseases are indeed most patients are fat.

So is it like the saying goes? The thinner you are, the healthier you are.

Case: Grandma Liu is sixty-one years old, when she was young, she was a dance teacher, love of beauty is the nature of every woman, Grandma Liu is also the same, the decade Grandma Liu insisted on dressing up every day, because of the work of the young is also a strict requirement for their own body, especially in the diet has been restrained, basically do not eat greasy, to maintain the body, until after Grandma Liu retired, the string of weight loss was loosened. The children are also very filial, from time to time will give Grandma Liu the best food, slowly Grandma Liu also really fat a lot.

The community was organizing a square dance team some time ago, and everyone immediately thought of Grandma Liu, the dance teacher, and invited her to lead the dance, and Grandma Liu was naturally very happy to hear this news, to continue dancing after retirement can also make the old age more fulfilling, so Grandma Liu decisively agreed.

However, Grandma Liu, a professional dance teacher, has very high requirements for her dance, and even the square dance is no exception. Grandma Liu feels that her body is now a bit bloated and can't dance to feel, so she decided to lose weight, and when her children heard about it, they hastened to organize it, thinking that the square dance is just a way to spend time, so they don't need to take it too seriously.

But the children's discouragement can not resist the grandmother's insistence, to square dance lead this duty and the grandmother's love of dance, grandmother Liu still began to lose weight, every day only eat water cooked vegetables, grandmother Liu thinks this will also help her health the body. Because the body's metabolism is not as good as it used to be old, Grandma Liu is extraordinarily controlled in terms of diet, hardly eating salt and any seasoning, and after some time, Grandma Liu always gets dizzy from time to time when she dances and feels weak. Grandma Liu fainted while dancing and was sent to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with sarcopenia by the doctor.

The reason is the so-called healthy diet of grandmother Liu caused trouble, the doctor said, people in old age do not think that this thin will be healthy, the main thing is balanced nutrition. As long as it is not too fat or too thin on the line.

I believe that many people want to know, people at what weight is the range of health?

When our body is too obese, diseases and easy invade

We will find that most of the patients with three highs and cognitive dysfunction in our daily life are people with fat body mass, which is not all unreasonable. The International Agency for Research on Cancer has also said that highlight-fatntent in the body leads to 13 types of cancer, including uterine cancer, liver cancer, stomach cancer, kidney cancer, and ovarian cancer.

Of course, there is also excessive thinness, for middle-aged and elderly people who are too thin, it is likely to be caused by malnutrition, so it is easy to stomach cold, fatigue, and other situations. Because the body is often too thin resistance is not very good, for the elderly too light weight may also lead to diseases such as sarcopenia, and osteoporosis.

People in middle and old age can use this formula to judge their health, don't let themselves be too obese, and don't let themselves be too slim.
