What is BMI and Why Should You Monitor It?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple calculation that uses your height and weight to determine whether you are within a healthy weight range. The BMI value is an indicator of body fatness for most people and can help identify potential health risks.
While BMI is not a perfect measure of body fat, it provides a useful guide for most adults. The results fall into different categories:
Underweight:BMI less than 18.5
Normal weight: BMI between 18.5 and 24.9
Overweight:BMI between 25 and 29.9
Obese:BMI 30 and above
Why Monitoring BMI Matters?
Why Monitoring BMI Matters?
Monitoring your BMI regularly can help you understand your overall health and identify potential risks such as:
- Type 2 Diabetes: Higher BMI values are often linked to an increased risk of developing diabetes.
- Nutritional Deficiency: Being underweight may indicate a lack of proper nutrition, leading to weakened immunity and other health issues.
- Overall Wellness: Maintaining a BMI within the healthy range can contribute to better energy levels, physical performance, and longevity.
- Cardiovascular Diseases: Being overweight or obese can increase the risk of heart disease, hypertension, and stroke.
While BMI is a useful starting point for assessing your health, it’s important to combine it with other factors, such as physical activity, diet, and medical advice, for a more comprehensive health assessment.
