Plummeting Weight
Although there is a lot of pressure to be thin and weight loss is the end goal for many people, if you notice that your clothes are fitting you more loosely than they were before and you have not changed your eating habits or increased your physical activity, this could be a warning sign that something is not working as it should be. One reason for a decrease in weight is a lack of appetite that is seemingly out of nowhere. Another cause could be due to a cancerous tumour, which results in your body working harder in order to heal the tumour on its own. However, there is unfortunately so much that your body can do on its own and in most cases the tumour will continue to grow. The technical term for this weight loss due to cancer is known as cachexia. In some cases it is so extreme that the body essentially eats away at its muscle and fat and the individual wastes away as the body makes attempts to get energy.
