Thin body does not mean malnutrition, here are some causes

Liputan6.com, Jakarta The head of the Women’s Health Foundation, Zumrotin K. Susilo, explained that malnutrition can happen to anyone. However, people with thin body posture do not necessarily mean that they are malnourished.

“Being thin does not mean malnutrition if the food that is absorbed in the body’s metabolism is not good, then the vitamins are not fully absorbed. He’s actually healthy but he can’t be fat, “said Zumrotin in the Kemen PPPA webinar (8/9/2020).

In simple terms, if a person has a thin body but is sufficiently tall, that person does not mean that he is malnourished.

“This can be overcome by exercising, thin people also need exercise, not only fat people. Because exercise can fatten or give content to the body but it can also make those who are fat thin. “

He added that sport is important for everyone. If a thin person who has eaten a balanced nutritional diet but does not gain weight, it can be caused by a poor metabolism.

“It could also be because of worms, cleanliness is very influential on the risk of worms.”
