Too Thin vs Too Fat: While too much weight carries with it the negative tag of being connected to disease, just being thin is associated with its own lists of health dangers. Which in reality then is more deadly too thin or too fat?
Being too thin is seen as a concern much less than overweight or obesity, though it is just as dangerous. Extreme case of lower body weight may result in decreased immunity and consequent increased chances of infection. Weak bones, anemia, infertility, and nutritional deficiencies-set in. In extreme cases, anorexia; dare I say it, malnutrition, can be life-threatening conditions.
Excess fat is associated with a number of chronic diseases-stroke, heart disease, diabetes, hypertension. In addition to limiting movement and affecting mood, it may also affect life expectancy. Global health bodies agree that obesity is among the leading preventable causes of death, at least in developed societies.
In most cases, it depends on the extent of the imbalance. Severe cases of obesity actually harm widespread health for an extended period, and the underweight rarely hit long-term effects. Severe thinness due to poor nutrition and eating disorders can also, with a sudden onset of some complications, unfortunately, be fatal. In both cases, the message is that it is all about balance and not extremes.
In the final instance, maintaining a healthy weight-neither too thin nor too fat-will be the way to health for a long time. Maintaining a balanced diet, regular workouts, and periodic medical examinations will help you get into and remain in a safe weight range.
