Over dieting can be dangerous for the following reasons:
Thyroid Weaken
Thyroid
hormone is very much useful to our health in controlling the burning of
calories and proteins. And this hormone is produced by our thyroid gland. By
over dieting one may make the hormone secretion rate lower and thus the
calories might remain unburned. Consequently body metabolism rate drops down
which in turn cause weakness and sickness. To be added, in the time of losing
weight one’s metabolism rate should be increased but over dieting may cause
otherwise.
Decreasing the level of
testosterone
Testosterone
is used to preserve strength of the muscles. A perfect amount of testosterone
helps to burn fats of your body. Besides it helps to demolish the accumulated
fat by enhancing the beta receptors. Furthermore, testosterone aids to seize
lipoprotein lipase, an enzyme which soaks up fat from blood.
Weakening of immune system
For
proper functioning of immune system our body needs calorie. Over-dieting
results in drastic fall in calorie supply that weakens our immune system and
weak immune system facilitates the secretion of cortisol hormone which store
fats in our body. Due to a weakened immune system one may have to embrace the
illness.
Wooziness may attack
By
not taking regular food you make your body withdrawn from proper nourishment.
The whole body may be stacked. The power of working will be reduced. Sometimes
over-dieting may cause some serious illness such as stomach ulcer which is
unalterable.
Muscle mass may be reduced
At
one part of dieting if the carbohydrates and fats are finished proteins become
the main source of nutrition. In the long run body starts to use muscle proteins
in place of the fats and carbohydrates and ultimately muscle mass reduces.
Psychological effect
It
is seen that after losing weights through a tough dieting people want to regain
their lost weights very quickly. It happens because one’s body cannot cope with
the sudden change that happened so roughly. So it is always a wise idea to
start with a steady and slow weight loss plan that you know your body can
adjust.
