Skinny beauties should be careful to prevent 8 diseases if they have insufficient body fat

[Key points]: Skinny beauties, also known as "paper people", use the historical allusion "Huan Fei Yan Shou" to compare modern women. Skinny beauty is admired by many women in society, and many women have been trying to lose weight. We all know that obesity can harm your health, but did you know that being too thin is also unhealthy? Beware of the following eight diseases:

Memory loss

The main source of power for the brain is fat, which accelerates the brain's ability to process information and enhances memory. For people who are too thin, nutritional deficiencies can cause serious damage to brain cells, which directly affects their memory.

High chance of miscarriage

Women's body fat percentage must be at least 17% to maintain normal menstrual cycles and sexual desire levels. Fat is the guarantee of estrogen production. A study by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in the UK found that women who are too thin before pregnancy have a 72% increased risk of miscarriage in the third month of pregnancy. Women who are too thin are prone to severe nausea during pregnancy.

Uterine prolapse

Without enough fat to protect the uterus, the uterus can easily drop down from its normal position along the vagina, or even fall out of the vaginal opening, causing uterine prolapse. In severe cases, it may also lead to cervical infection or even cervicitis.

Osteoporosis

A recent study in the United States found that the incidence of hip fractures in women who are too thin is more than 1 times higher than that in women of standard weight. The thinner a woman is, the lower her bone density is, making her more susceptible to fractures.

Gallstones

People who are too thin usually do not consume enough calories, so the fat in the body tissues will be consumed faster, causing the cholesterol content in the bile to increase, the bile becomes viscous, forms crystals and precipitates into stones. Studies have found that stones often occur within the first 2 to 4 months of rapid weight loss.

Duodenal stasis

For people who are too thin, the duodenum is easily compressed, making it difficult for them to digest food, and they experience abdominal distension and discomfort, accompanied by pain or vomiting after meals.

Gastroptosis

When the human body is too thin, the abdominal wall becomes loose and the abdominal muscles become weak, causing the muscles and ligaments used to suspend and fix the stomach to become loose and weak. The abdominal pressure decreases, so the position of the entire stomach is lowered and gastric motility is weakened, thereby causing gastroptosis.

hematuria

The kidneys are wrapped by a layer of dense connective tissue. In people who are too thin, the kidneys are prone to sagging and cause internal venous blood to seep out and cause hematuria.

From the above-listed diseases, we can see that skinny beauties are actually unhealthy. We should pay attention to the dangers of being too thin and prevent the occurrence of diseases.
