(September 9, 2018 Dr. Tsang has questions and answers)

When I was a surgeon, I liked thinner patients, and I certainly don't mean the bone-thin kind. Thin doesn't mean unhealthy, it's just an aesthetic difference.

In surgery, thin patients will always recover much faster than obese patients, and the probability of non-healing wounds will be much smaller. Thin patients have a clear anatomical structure during surgery, which is convenient for doctors to accurately find the lesion and greatly shorten the operation time; while obese patients have an unclear anatomical structure, which increases the risk and difficulty of the operation, long anesthesia time, and slow postoperative recovery.

First of all, most of the patients with thin bodies do not have underlying diseases and it is a process of physical development. Especially some middle school and high school students, is in the period of physical development, all the nutrients are all used to support bone development and metabolism, this stage if not overnutrition, the vast majority of people will be thin. Especially some boys, the development period even extended to 18-20 years old, this time period, want to fat are difficult. We can recall, go to middle school, high school or college, is not the class is only so one or two precious fat?

Secondly, by the age group of 30-35, most people are used to resting on their laurels and have become entrenched in various positions. In a position to do a long time, naturally find the shortest way to complete the work at hand, the body will form muscle memory, with the least amount of energy to complete the established daily workload. Over the years, coupled with more socializing, it is natural to slowly become obese.

In addition to some physiologic leanness, some diseases such as functional dyspepsia, chronic gastroenteritis, colorectitis, etc., appear to beLong-term chronic diarrhea, unformed stools, recurrent abdominal painSymptoms such as this can affect the absorption of nutrients, leading to malnutrition of the organism; there are patients with hyperthyroidism or malignant tumors, who can also suffer from wasting. Patients with such conditions should pay attention to the design of dietary levels and seek timely medical attention.

If there are no such symptoms, Dr. Tsang suggests that those who are on the thin side should just live a normal life, and that they can't even lose weight when they want to be fat. If you want to look fuller, stick to exercise to gain muscle.

Nowadays, many people are thin for beauty, but if the body has been very thin and does not grow meat people, to pay attention to. For people who are underweight and thin, they can go to the hospital for examination first to rule out the possibility of some diseases, such as thyroid, adrenal gland, digestive diseases, etc., which will make the body become thin.

Consume less food with low nutrient density

Chinese medicine says that people are too thin and weak spleen and stomach, transport function related, usually due to the decline in the function of the spleen and stomach, the lack of qi and blood caused.

Can be adjusted by the diet, more intake of milk, eggs and other protein foods. Try to eat less nutrient density of things, such as fried food, some people mistakenly believe that this type of food is high in fat, more consumption can become fat, in fact, relative has been thin people, generally not much effect, originally the gastrointestinal tract digestion is weak, in the eating of this kind of thing, it will become worse.

Diets should be varied

Some people who are thin and weak have the bad habit of picking and favoring food, and need to ensure that their diets are varied, increase dietary intake, and be rich. Eat more carbohydrates, such as pasta. Also to eat more fruits and vegetables, usually can eat some healthy snacks.

give up smoking and drinking

For the people who have been thin, need to quit smoking and alcohol, tobacco and alcohol in people bring harm in addition to the liver, lungs, poor gastrointestinal function of the people, but also affect the human body absorption.

More exercise

Thin people, usually suitable for more exercise, moderate exercise can increase the body to promote absorption. Absorption, digestion, will be able to produce hunger, so as to eat more long meat.

Hi, thanks for the invite!

The fact that the body has always been on the thin side suggests several things.

First, the innate body is poor, insufficient qi and blood, the spleen and stomach transportation and absorption function is poor, eat in the nutrients, grains and cereals can not be well nourished to the whole body organs.

Second, lack of nutrition, in modern society, nutritional deficiencies in camp excess to greater than nutritional deficiencies, I do not know if you intend to control.

Now that you've said what to look for, it would fall into the first category. When you say "thin", the dietitian understands it to mean below the value of "healthy weight". (Healthy weight is the standard weight, less than 10%-15% below the standard weight, body fat less than 17% of body weight, body fat content is less than one-third of the normal content) We call it "lean" and "too thin".

On a larger level, being overweight or underweight is a sign of being unhealthy and susceptible to multiple diseases. Thinness in children affects growth and development, and thinness in women affects fertility. Moreover, many people who are thin are not in a good mental state, and when they encounter various external evils and diseases, their ability to resist and fight against them is weaker. Therefore, we should pay attention to diet and strengthen physical exercise to improve physical fitness.

I. Diet

① Diversify your diet, don't pick and choose what you eat, eat everything and not much of anything. Moderately increase the amount of food rich in high-quality protein, unsaturated fatty acids. For example, eggs, lean meat, chicken, beef, beans and their products, etc.

② Eat three regular meals, eat when you are hungry, do not overeat, and take more than one meal a day.

(iii) The spleen and stomach can be improved and conserved through dietary therapy, and those who are thin have more spleen deficiency and loose stools. You can try, spleen eight treasures porridge (round-grained rice, barley, lotus seeds, white lentils, fructus, Chinese yam, red dates, malt), millet porridge, lotus seeds, white lentil barley porridge and so on to regulate.

④ Combine work and rest, ensure sufficient sleep, and consolidate vital energy. Frequent massage of the epigastric and Qihai points can warm the middle and dissipate the cold, and the qi and blood can flow smoothly.

II. Moderate exercise

The amount of food eaten and exercise are two important factors in maintaining a healthy weight; food provides energy and exercise burns energy; if you eat more than you exercise, you will gain weight, and conversely, you will be underweight or thin. So exercise in moderation. At the same time through daily physical activity, fitness to increase weight, enhance physical fitness, improve the body's ability to resist disease.

Thanks for the invite!

Life does have a lot of how to eat also long not fat people, as if quite enviable, but a lot of the body is thin friends but also some distress, do not know they are so thin is healthy?

The body is thin and there may be so many things:

• The first kind, since childhood are so thin. In general, the body is thin and genetic factors have a relationship, that is to say, mom and dad or the family are all belong to the slim type, this generally do not need to worry about, as long as the diet, sleep and other physiological activities and so on normal, there will be no problem.
  
• The second kind, poor appetite, can not eat into the meal belongs to the spleen and stomach function is not good, or have gastrointestinal diseases, digestion and absorption are not smooth, naturally not too fat.

• The third type, excessive worry, the so-called tea do not want to think about food, the increasingly thin. For example, the tension and pressure at work, the life of the annoyance entangled in their own, etc., will also make people more and more thin.
  

• The fourth, bone-thin type, skin and bones, that basically belongs to malnutrition, urgently need to supplement protein, fat and other nutrients, to restore the normal strength of the muscles. But this situation has been relatively rare.

You have been thin, is the spleen and stomach function decline, you can eat more yellow food, such as millet, soybean corn thin less, eat sweet and cold, protect their stomach, do not let the abdomen cold

I believe that many girls often hang on the lips of a sentence is "lose weight", but you know what? Some people drink water to grow meat, while some people how to eat are not fat. Today we will talk about, how to make thin people, fat up.

The body is too thin, not only unattractive, but also bad resistance to disease, low immunity, want to improve the thin body, first of all, to ensure that the intake of food, to ensure that the provision of the body to synthesize a variety of nutrients needed by the tissues, such as enough protein, the right amount of fat, carbohydrates, a variety of vitamins, trace elements and so on. There is also a need for me not to be picky about what I eat, not to be partial, so that the nutrients consumed will be converted into muscle, fat, etc., and stored in the subcutaneous.

Secondly, is to ensure adequate sleep. Lack of sleep body is not conducive to the body to absorb nutrients, sleep enough, the person's appetite will be better, the digestion and absorption of food is also more fully.

Then there is moderate exercise. Especially sedentary family in the office, every day to take out a certain amount of time to exercise, exercise, not only can improve appetite, more appetite, but also make the muscles stronger, healthier body, the human body's muscles, if you do not get exercise for a long time, it will be used to waste, and over time will atrophy, people naturally thin and weak.

And people who are always thin, it is better to go to the hospital for a relevant examination to see if there is something wrong with the body, sick. Generally intestinal parasites, anemia, hyperthyroidism, malignant tumors, certain adrenal, metabolic and digestive disorders can cause long-term body thinness. With these pathological causes ruled out, it is important to regulate diet, sleep and exercise properly in order to restore the thin body to health.

I am a thin body looks very thin little old man, height 1.65 meters, weight 48 kilograms. When I was young, the heaviest weight is 51 kilograms, and now at the age of sixty-five, my body has shrunk a bit and my weight basically stays between 47 and 48 kilograms. He was born at 7 months of age due to congenital insufficiency, and weighed only 3 kilograms and 4 taels when he was born. In the mid-fifties, living in poverty and lack of material and medical conditions, can survive in addition to the careful care of the mother and her family, it should be regarded as a great life. Later grew up gradually better life, material abundance, but no matter how to eat is not growing meat. Thin is thin, the spirit is enough. Although sixty-something years old, but still can breath continuously do fifty or sixty standard push-ups, the body does not have any major problems. I never deliberately maintain, do not pursue health care, do not eat any health care products. I think I have a good habit of life, that is, not smoking, not addicted to alcohol (used to work in order to socialize to drink a little bit, control in 3 two or less), no bad habits, regular work and rest, breakfast every day must eat (cereal bread buns eggs or noodles), do not fish and meat, like to walk, and insisted on half an hour of activities every morning (push-ups, chest expansion, stretching, bending, turning, leg pressure, etc.), when nothing else I like to listen to pure music and look at the cell phone to pass the time. This should be regarded as the secret of my life as a skinny old man. I actually want to grow a little bit of meat, and the main thing I want to do after I grow some meat is to look better in clothes than the skinny guy.

　　Today's society, although the "thin" for beauty, but "thin" also need to have a limit, to thin beauty, thin health. "Thin bones for firewood" is not beauty, but disease. Under normal circumstances, the reason for fat is to eat more, consume less, the reason for thin nature is to eat less, consume more.

　　To determine whether the thin also depends on the body mass index, that is, BMI, greater than 18.5 is the normal range, if less than 18.5 should pay attention to, or to gain some weight is better, especially to grow some muscle to be perfect, which should be through the diet and moderate exercise to be able to achieve.

　　People who are thin are not necessarily unhealthy, but there are health risks. Therefore, you need to pay attention to some problems in general.

　　First, increase the amount of exercise, more exercise will speed up the body's absorption of food. Absorption becomes better and digestion is faster, which will promote the body to produce a state of hunger, so that you can eat more to grow meat.

　　Second, pay attention to increase probiotics in the body, should pay attention to every night often drink yogurt or millet porridge, drink yogurt before going to bed to brush your teeth, yogurt contains a variety of active bacteria, lactobacilli, will promote gastrointestinal absorption.

　　Third, quit smoking and drinking, tobacco and alcohol not only hurt the liver and lungs, coupled with the stomach and intestines are not good, it will affect the body's absorption.

　　Fourth, eat more fruits and vegetables, fruits can promote absorption, such as apples, bananas and so on.

　　Fifth, keep a happy mood, a happy mood will eat flavor, promote physical development, but also will prevent most people's stomach sagging.

　　Sixth, do a good job of regular body checkups to see if there is a physical disease, such as functional dyspepsia, chronic gastroenteritis, colorectitis, etc., the emergence of long-term chronic diarrhea, unformed stools, recurrent abdominal pain and other symptoms, which will affect the absorption of nutrients, resulting in malnutrition of the organism. It is also necessary to be alert to some metabolic diseases, such as hyperthyroidism and diabetes mellitus.

　　The body is thin, in fact, is not good, do not think that this is the "beauty", can not ignore the "beauty" behind the health risks.

谢邀.

I have friends around me who usually go out to eat more than we do, and it's just irritating that they just don't gain weight. Is this necessarily unhealthy?

Not necessarily, the body is always thin, there are such things as.

1, genetic inheritance, many people eat a lot, weight is very light, but the physical quality is very good, immunity is not low, so such people do not need to worry, normal life and living can be.

2, weak spleen and stomach, such people eat very little, and easy to loose stools, look depressed. And most of these people are accompanied by excessive worry, just like Lin Daiyu as sentimental. Such people do not absorb well, appetite is also poor, so the weight does not go up.

3, thirst disease patients, that is, diabetics, characterized by "three more and one less", eat more, drink more, urinate more, weight loss. Of course, this is not absolute, now many diabetics are overweight.

Such people should pay attention to regulating the spleen and stomach, enhance the function of the spleen and stomach, so that the absorption of good natural weight goes up.

Usually pay attention to exercise, eat on time, do not pick food, protein, lipids, fruits and vegetables. Of course I think as long as every day energetic, no physical discomfort, thin a little bit quite good, do you think?
