Information

My Opinion n Always people are longing for a slim, even it is the fashion style for everyday wear like skinny pants. Although there are many skinny people in the streets, but slim and healthy people is not so much. And, the low weight is preferred than an appropriate weight for their health. But sometimes it is too slender to threaten our health. Only the weight does not indicate the state of health. If so, we should know better about our body.
