What really happens, what cause of underweight?
More frequent than not, these underweight individuals have a very inefficient digestive system. Their body seems almost like an empty and useless tube; what gets in, gets out of the body system literally just in the same context. In other words, they are absorbing very little from the food that they have eaten. Actually, digestive enzyme deficiencies, failure of food absorption, mal-absorption syndromes due to allergy and food insensitivity are common problems that an underweight person may have to go through. Through proper dieting, a person is able to counter his/her underweight problem. However, it is advisable to have yourself checked by a professional physician before embarking on an eating plan for underweight people. This is to ensure that the main reason to the weight loss was not caused by anything serious that need proper treatment and cannot be regularized by dieting and supplementation alone, such as cancer and hyperthyroid.
