Risks of having a weight below ideal

Be thin , for some people it could mean a obsession , capable of exceeding any limit, including one's own health, but to what extent is it physically and mentally beneficial to take excessive care of weight and diet to maintain the line?
 
In this regard, the doctor Roberto Espinosa Soriano , internist doctor General Hospital of the Zone number 47, of Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS), noted that the fact of presenting a weight less than 15% of what is estimated ideal for a person, according to their size, indicates the possibility of several organic disorders:

"There may be a growth of the salivary glands, anemia , alterations in menstrual cycle in the case of women; hormonal disorders, such as hypothyroidism (growth of thyroid ); osteoporosis , low sugar (hypoglycemia ), among others, all of them as a result of poor diet ".

In an interview for GetQoralHealth , the manager of Sport City Nutrition Rubén Lepe, gives us some recommendations to have the ideal weight:

The World Health Organization (WHO), considers that being healthy is a state of total physical, mental and social well-being; It's not just being free from aches or diseases. However, in today's society, the cult of the body and the image is something that is taken into account, and therefore, many people try, by any means, to improve their own image, which sometimes translates not only into organic complications, but also in identity problems that can go as far as the depression .
 
This fact, clarified the IMSS internist, causes thinness to be associated with health, a myth that is not entirely true, since being thin does not necessarily mean being healthy: "Thinness can be achieved in different ways, one is for constitution and nature of the individual; another for not eating properly and making use of the so-called "miracle products", which promise to reduce the weight in a matter of weeks, whether they are girdles, pills, soaps, creams, etc. "
 
For all this, said the internist of the HGZ number 47 of the IMSS, the most successful to be healthy and maintain the ideal weight, is to do it through a diet balanced, in which there is no lack of any type of food or nutrient, since they are all necessary for the organism, and exercise physical on a daily basis.
