I want to create awareness about this. many people think being thin is healthy. not all thin people are healthy.

if nakabantay mo, naa tay mga kaila nga grabe makakaon ug rice or any type of foods but they seemed dili gyud motambok. we envy them. but there is an underlying condition to it.this is called TOFI condition. we often say iyang metabolism is fast. not totally true.

see reference below.

HIDDEN DANGER
Though the immediate consequence and the exact danger of having excessive deposits of internal fats are not clear, it is suspected that it will increase the risk of developing heart disease and diabetes in the long term. The excessive internal fat deposits disrupt the body’s internal communication system. When fats create a layer around the internal body organs,
it might mistakenly send chemical signals to store fat inside the organs like liver or pancreas,
which could lead to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes or heart disease. Fat and active people can be actually considered healthier than their skinny, yet inactive, counterparts. It is important to burn off internal fat by doing regular exercise or by even improving our diet.
