Ever since I hit the big five, I have been fighting the middle age spread which is still spreading. :-( However, TO sent me an article which cheered me up greatly! For once, I am glad I'm not slim...(*sour grapes haha*)
According to THIS ARTICLE:
Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor, was at best only half-right when she said: ‘You can never be too rich or too thin.’
In fact, being too thin can be seriously unhealthy.
Scientists revealed last week they’d discovered a ‘lean gene’ that puts thin men in danger of developing diabetes.
This is just the latest piece in a growing body of evidence that shows how being skinny can expose people to a range of serious problems.
These include a raised risk of miscarriage, lung disease, male infertility and even death in car accidents.
So what counts as underweight?
Officially, it means a body mass index, or BMI, below 18.5. (Your BMI is your weight in kilos divided by your height in metres squared.)
