Moderate weight gain is beneficial for health
People with slightly overweight bodies are less likely to get sick: moderate weight gain is beneficial for health
Recently, a study from Ohio State University in the United States has overturned people's traditional perception of a healthy weight. The study found that people with a healthy body mass index (BMI) who gradually gain weight but have never reached obesity levels have the longest lifespan. These adults even live longer than those who maintain a normal body mass index throughout their lives.
This study was published in the Journal of Epidemiology and has attracted widespread attention. The research findings indicate that individuals with slightly overweight bodies may be healthier in certain aspects than those who consistently maintain a lean physique. In fact, being slightly overweight has multiple benefits, such as better cardiovascular health, stronger immunity, and higher quality of life.
Researchers point out that this does not mean that people should allow themselves to gain excessive weight, but rather recognize the positive effects of moderate weight gain on health. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, moderate weight gain may help extend lifespan.
In addition, comedian Jin Jing also shared her views on social media, suggesting that girls must have a normal weight and not excessively pursue weight loss. She emphasized that a healthy body is the most important.
Experts remind that maintaining a healthy weight and lifestyle remains the key to preventing diseases. People should develop a reasonable diet and exercise plan based on their own situation to maintain a healthy physical state.
