Is a thin woman healthy or a fat woman healthy?

Ms Zeng, who runs her own business, is 40 years old. She didn't feel well recently, so she went to the hospital for a check-up. Ms. Zeng said: "I feel a little fat. Doctor, do you think it's better to be fat or thin when a woman reaches my age? "

Our hospital has a standard weight scale. As long as it is within the normal range of weighing scale, there is nothing serious, but values lower or higher than this standard weight scale may cause related diseases in this respect.

The increase or decrease of weight is not determined by a single dimension. Many people think that eating too much will definitely gain weight. This is not a decisive factor, but it has some influence. We should understand that the change of weight may be related to eating habits, genes, diseases, exercise consumption, heredity and so on.

Let's take a look at this table first. Basically, height and weight are directly proportional. You can compare it. The weight interval basically jumps between 1-3. If you are a 4 1 year-old woman, with a height of 160 and a weight of about 54kg, if it is too different from the values in the table, it is likely to cause some diseases.

Some patients will ask, is it better to be fat or thin when you are old? What doctors want to emphasize here is that there is no problem of being fatter or thinner. As long as they follow a certain growth law, like the example we cited above, there will be no big problem.

I also suggest you do more exercise. If you have spare capacity, you can go to the gym to exercise, which can not only make your figure look better, but also fully exercise to different joints and parts to a certain extent, thus activating muscles in different directions and promoting the transformation of protein.

Don't cater to the modern "white and thin" aesthetics too much. After all, this figure is very beautiful and charming at first glance, but it is undoubtedly a kind of torture for a healthy person. You must have your own good aesthetics, so that you will not be biased by the so-called mainstream aesthetics and torture your body.

If you are overweight or underweight, you are likely to cause high blood pressure and diabetes in your later years. According to relevant researchers, an adult's weight change, especially weight gain, is a risk factor for hypertension and diabetes in his later years, and losing weight has different conclusions about the risk of these chronic diseases. After losing weight, it has a protective effect on female hypertension.

The average body mass index of women who lose weight is (24.2±2.77)Kg/m2/m2, the overweight rate and obesity rate are 4 1.9% and 8.6% respectively, and the overweight rate is about 1/2. As an overweight body, we should actively intervene and control our weight at this time, so as to control hypertension as much as possible in our later years.

For diabetes, if you lose too much weight, it may lead to type 2 diabetes. We can see that most diabetics are thin, which is related to the nature of diabetes. Because this disease is a wasting disease, it consumes a lot of physical strength and energy for patients.

There are many obese patients aged 40 ~ 49, and the risk of hypertension and diabetes is the highest at this age. Why is this happening? We still need to analyze it in connection with reality. In life, people of this age are old and young, and it is easy to feel the pressure from life, so they may have the habit of overeating, drinking too much and smoking, which may lead to weight problems. Therefore, if you can't control your weight well, you will suffer for the future.

As a woman, there is another stage that will cause weight changes, and that is childbirth. Maybe some women will choose to have children now. So my advice to these women is, after reading this chapter, to understand the influence of weight and fertility, so that we can improve our diet purposefully, achieve a healthy reproductive state, and ensure the safety of fetuses and pregnant women.

According to the research of Harvard University, fat is an important condition for women to mature, and it is also an energy source for menstruation and childbirth. In fact, women's body fat content accounts for 17% from the beginning of development. Does everyone know what fat means? It means energy storage. It takes a lot of energy for women to have children, so they need to have corresponding fat for storage in case of emergency.

In order to maintain a normal menstrual cycle, pregnancy and breastfeeding, women must have a fat content of more than 22% of their body weight in order to be qualified. If you lose too much weight, the fat content will decrease, which may lead to irregular menstruation, amenorrhea and even infertility.

Women can store a certain amount of fat to help them raise their babies. At the same time, without secreting gonadotropin under the thalamus, they can regulate the secretion of follicle stimulating hormone and luteinizing hormone through the adenohypophysis, stimulate the growth and maturity of follicles, secrete estrogen and ovulate.

Thin, low-fat people lose sex hormones and have high protein content. This protein can make estrogen ineffective, leading to the decrease of the content of active free estrogen, which affects ovulation and infertility.

From the above discussion, we can easily find that at the age of 40, it is actually very difficult to simply refer to "fat spots" or "thin spots", because women need different fat contents at different stages. Proper fat content is helpful for women to recover their health, while too much fat content will have adverse effects.

Here are four suggestions for keeping a good weight. You can try them:

(1) Control your eating habits, and try to be complete in meat, eggs, milk, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, so as not to be overweight.

2 Be sure to exercise. Many people are obese because they don't like sports. We don't mean that everyone has to run fast. Sometimes jogging, walking or using fitness equipment in community parks can help you become healthy.

(3) Quitting snacks refers to milk tea, biscuits, candy and all snacks with high sugar content and oil content. Perhaps this aspect is really difficult for most people, because people can't control their mouths when they are relaxed or stressed, hoping to eat more and avoid hunger. This is very unhealthy behavior.

④ Health psychology means that sometimes we completely follow the contemporary trend to lose weight or gain weight. Losing weight or gaining weight depends on our physical foundation. If we blindly pursue the image in the eyes of others, it will not only damage our physical health, but also affect our mental health.

In short, it is hard to say whether being overweight or underweight is good for your health, but within the normal range, there is no problem. In addition, we should learn to keep fit, so that we can be healthy and not induce various potential diseases because of temporary changes.
