Regular exercise and healthy eating will help you lose weight slowly without harming your physical and mental well-being. However, if you suddenly notice that you are losing weight, that is a sign that your body is saying something. That is why it is important to monitor your weight almost weekly.
Sudden weight loss sometimes indicates poor health. If it is not observed and cared for, it poses various risks to the body. According to a report published in The Times Of India, when a person suffers from serious illnesses, body weight begins to decrease rapidly.
Below is the list of those serious illnesses:
Cancer: It’s important to keep an eye on your body. If the weight decreases quickly, it is an alarm. If a person continues to lose weight with no change in diet and routine, it could be a symptom of cancer. Consult the doctor as soon as possible.
Thyroid: The thyroid gland is of two types, one in which the weight starts to increase rapidly and the other in which the weight decreases. It has the ability to directly affect the body’s metabolism. A continuous drop in weight can sometimes cause problems such as increased heart rate, anxiety and lack of sleep.
Rheumatoid Arthritis: Rheumatoid arthritis is a serious chronic disease associated with joint pain. The energy in the body is consumed more, so the weight begins to decrease rapidly. Chronic diseases are more common between the ages of 30 and 50.
Stomach Related Problems: If our stomach is unhealthy, your weight gain may take some time. Sometimes lactose intolerance, celiac disease, and Crohn’s disease, an inflammation of the gut, can also lead to weight loss.
Often, a diet rich in protein and other nutrients is not absorbed into the body because of a sick stomach, thus starting the problem of malnutrition. In such a situation, doctors recommend following a proper diet.
Drug Addiction: The most common is drug addiction, where a high intake can lead to weight loss. People with addictions do not follow a proper diet or routine because of drunkenness. High intoxication in the future can also lead to no appetite and thus weight loss.
