Beware of the cost of 'paper people'! 3 diseases that may be caused by excessive weight loss in women, quick investigation

Becoming a lightning bolt thin is a dream for many girls, but did you know? Pursuing extreme thinness may come at a heavy cost to the body. Behind those seemingly beautiful 'paper figures', there are often hidden health warnings, and some injuries are even irreversible.

1. Endocrine system disorders

1. Menstrual disorders

Long term insufficient calorie intake can lead to reduced secretion of gonadotropins, directly affecting ovarian function. Many women who excessively lose weight may experience delayed menstruation, reduced menstrual flow, or even amenorrhea, which can seriously affect their fertility.

2. Thyroid dysfunction

Extreme dieting can put the body into an "energy-saving mode", causing a decrease in thyroid hormone secretion. Symptoms such as fear of cold, fatigue, and dry skin may occur, and a continuous decrease in basal metabolic rate may make it easier to gain weight.

2. Digestive system damage

1. Chronic gastritis

Long term fasting or irregular diet can stimulate gastric acid secretion and reduce the defense ability of the gastric mucosa. Repeated stomach pain and acid reflux may develop into stubborn gastritis, and in severe cases, even lead to gastric ulcers.

2. Imbalance of gut microbiota

A single dietary structure can lead to a sharp decline in the number of gut probiotics. The alternating occurrence of bloating, constipation, or diarrhea is a typical signal and may also affect nutrient absorption and immunity.

III. Bone Health Risks Machine

1. Osteoporosis

When the body weight is too light, the pressure on the bones is insufficient, and coupled with reduced calcium intake, bone density will rapidly decrease. Young women may also experience symptoms that only middle-aged and elderly people have, such as lower back pain and reduced height.

2. Joint degeneration

Lack of necessary fat buffering accelerates joint cartilage wear. The knee and ankle joints were the first to protest, and the pain during exercise significantly increased. Beauty should not come at the cost of health, moderate exercise combined with a balanced diet is the long-term solution. Instead of pursuing the numbers on the scale, it's better to focus on the true feelings of the body and make health the best decoration.
