Actually healthy means free from diseases and associated conditions. Generally the slim and in-figure females are considered healthy in India. Because, a slim and athelatic person is more likely to get free of diseases compared to chubby ones. To maintain a figure, people have to work out a lot. Being slim means the woman is taking a lot of care to keep herself slim. She is exercising a lot to burn out her depositied calories. So, she is supposed to have a proper circulation and thereby remain healthy. Whereas a pulpy female is supposed to take enough rest, work out a little as the amount of fat deposit suggests. So, they are at risk of various diseases and especially the heart diseases and obesity.
