1 Is being underweight really a problem?

1. Being too thin may seem like a good problem to have

2. The reality is that being underweight can cause health problems

3. Storing energy (or calories) as fat is just one of the many ways the body uses food to

function, heal and grow.

4. The energy stored in fat helps you get through a strenuous job or workout.

5. It also plays a key role in brain development, preventing inflammation (swelling) and

blood clots.

6. Fat also supports healthy hair and skin.

7. It’s important to understand that balance is a key in maintaining a healthy body–whether

you’re over- or underweight.

8. Your family doctor can also help determine if you’re underweight based on your height,

weight, what you eat and your activity level.

2 What problems can being underweight cause?

1. People who are underweight typically are not getting enough calories to fuel their bodies.

2. Often, they are also suffering from malnutrition, since they aren’t taking in enough vitamins and minerals from their

food.

3. If you’re underweight, you may be at risk for the following health issues:

a) Inhibited growth and development in children and teens, whose bodies need plenty of nutrients to grow and

stay healthy

b) A deficiency in vitamin D and calcium along with low body weight can lead to weak bones and osteoporosis

c) When you don’t take in enough nutrients, your body cannot store energy and may also have difficulty fighting

illness.

d) It may also be difficult for your immune system to bounce back after being sick.

e) Iron deficiency, folate deficiency and vitamin b12 deficiency, resulting in dizziness, fatigue and headaches

f) In women, low body weight can lead to irregular periods, lack of periods and infertility

g) Low body weight can cause hair to thin and fall out easily.

h) It can also cause dry, thin skin and teeth health issues.

3 What causes low body weight?

1. While some underweight people are otherwise physically healthy, others suffer from underlying health

concerns that should be treated.

2. If you’ve been thin since high school and being thing runs in your family, it’s likely that you were born

with a higher-than-usual metabolism.

3. You also may have a naturally small appetite.

4. If you’re an athlete, you are probably aware that frequent workouts can affect your body weight.

5. If you’re on your feet frequently, you may burn more calories than people who are more sedentary

(inactive).

6. Being sick can affect your appetite, as well as your body’s ability to use and store food.

7. Be sure to talk to your doctor about sudden weight loss.

8. Factors like stress and depression can disrupt healthy eating habits.

9. If you’re suffering from damaging emotional issues, be sure to talk to your family doctor

4 Gain weight in a healthy manner

1. Just as healthy weight loss requires a balanced approach, healthy weight gain means more than adding junk food to

your daily meals.

2. While eating junk food may result in weight gain, it will not address the nutritional deficiencies that come with

being underweight.

3. You can increase your calorie intake with each meal by adding nut or seed toppings, cheese and healthy side dishes.

4. Try almonds, sunflower seeds, fruit or whole-grain wheat toast.

5. Consider high-protein meats, which can help you to build muscle.

6. Choose nutritious carbohydrates, such as brown rice and other whole grains.

7. Enjoy snacks that contain plenty of protein and healthy carbohydrates.

8. Consider eating smaller meals throughout the day to increase your calorie intake.

9. Strength training– such as weight-lifting or yoga–can help you gain weight by building muscle.

10. Before beginning any major weight gain program, be sure to consult your family doctor.

Five Easy Ways to Boost Your Metabolism

1. Build muscle - Muscle burns more calories than fat even at rest.

2. Step up your workout - Aerobic exercise may not build big muscles, but it can rev up your

metabolism in the hours after a workout.

3. Snack smart - Having a small meal or snack every three to four hours keeps your

metabolism in full swing, so you burn more calories over the course of a day.

4. Power up with protein - Protein promotes lean muscle mass.

5. And the more muscle we have, the higher our metabolic rate.

6. Kick off the day with a healthy breakfast - When you wake up, have a 300- to 400-calorie

healthy morning meal to kick-start your metabolism for the day.

7. Herbalife protein-rich products provide excellent nutritional support for everyone who

wants to make the most of their metabolism and reach their weight-management goals in

a program of healthy diet and exercise

1. Metabolism is the process by which our body converts what we eat and drink into energy.

2. Even when we’re at rest, our body needs energy for all its ‘hidden’ functions, such as breathing,

circulating blood, adjusting hormone levels, and growing and repairing cells

3. Since our metabolism is directly related to our energy levels, the higher our metabolic rate, the

more energy we have and the more calories we burn.

4. Your age: Metabolism naturally slows about five percent per decade after age 40

5. Your sex: Men generally burn more calories at rest than women

6. The more muscle you have, the higher your metabolic rate tends to be

7. When we put too many hours between meals, our metabolism actually slows down to

compensate.

8. Small, but frequent, healthy meals help keep our metabolism in high gear, and that means we’ll

burn more calories overall.

1. Kick-start your metabolism with a healthy breakfast

2. Don’t skip breakfast!

3. When you skip it, you slow down your metabolism and you’re more likely to binge on unhealthy

foods later in the day.

4. My suggestion?

5. Start your morning with a healthy, energizing and metabolism-revving breakfast packed with

whole grains and lean protein to help you stay full right through until lunch, and fruit or

vegetables for added fibre.

6. Now put all this information into action and start shaping a new you: build muscle, eat low-

calorie, high-protein foods and exercise!

7. Stick to it and you’ll have your metabolism running on all cylinders!
