Nowadays people struggle to gain weight in the same way as they work hard to lose weight. Some people complain that no matter how much they eat, their weight never increases. Being underweight can cause many problems. Let us know what could be the reasons behind becoming excessively thin.
Reasons for being underweight
Nutritional deficiencies
To stay healthy, it is important to maintain a healthy weight and for this, our body needs adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals. Some people eat and drink well but their diet does not contain all the nutrients. Because of this, the weight does not increase. If you are too thin, then you need to pay attention to your diet. Include whole grains, vegetables and fruits in your diet. If you want, you can also get your diet made by a dietitian.
Medical condition
People, who do not have proper digestion, have problems like hyperthyroidism, anaemia and diabetes, and their weight is also much less than normal.
Metabolism is also responsible
The way a person does not lose weight due to slow metabolism. In the same way, people who have high metabolism burn calories faster than others. This can also cause a person to become underweight.
Tension
Your appetite also gets affected due to stress and depression. In such a situation, if you eat less then your weight may also increase.
Genetics
Some people also remain underweight due to genetic reasons. However, if such people pay attention to exercise and diet, their weight may change.
