You must be wondering, “How can someone gain weight from yoga”, right? Well, you’ve come to the right place and in the next few minutes, you will have a completely different understanding of how yoga can help you with weight gain, and trust me, you will be amazed by it!
We all have come across people with incredible body transformations. While most of the people are crazy about getting rid of those few inches around the belly, there is a set of people having issues with putting on weight. No matter what they eat, how much they eat, they just can’t seem to gain any weight. People with obesity might see this as some sort of ‘superpower’, but you and I know it is more of a curse than a boon, and being skinny is no fun at all! People with underweight have their own set of dangers as those who are overweight.
Result of various studies
- Studies have found out that 8.8% of men and 9.7% of women worldwide are found to be underweight.
- In India, around 22% of the population is underweight.
A person having a BMI below 18.5 is considered to be underweight. And being underweight, you are prone to several health-related issues leading to weakened immunity. In most cases, people are found to be underweight genetically. However, in others, it is due to improper or lack of consumption of necessary nutrients required by the body. When the body doesn’t get the necessary nutrients, the immune system takes a hit and one finds it difficult to fight infections and illness. Men experience receding hairline and women experience irregular periods, unstable production of hormones, and lesser estrogen to help support healthy bone mass.
Along with physical issues, underweight people also go through several mental issues such as lack of confidence, social isolation, prone to bullying, and ultimately leading to anxiety and depression. It is equally important to address these issues and find a way to come out of it stronger than ever. Being underweight is not something people ask for, it is a by-product of several reasons discussed above. We, as a society should always look out for such people and come forward to help in every possible way we can.
