📚 Understanding BMI (Body Mass Index)
BMI is a screening tool used to assess whether you're at a healthy weight for your height. While it's a useful general indicator, it doesn't account for muscle mass, bone density, or body composition.
📊 What is BMI?
BMI (Body Mass Index) is calculated by dividing your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared (kg/m²). It's a simple screening tool for weight categories.
🎯 BMI Categories
Underweight: BMI below 18.5
Normal: BMI 18.5-24.9
Overweight: BMI 25.0-29.9
Obese: BMI 30.0 and above
⚠️ BMI Limitations
BMI doesn't distinguish between muscle and fat mass. Athletes or very muscular individuals may have high BMI but low body fat. Age, gender, and ethnicity can also affect interpretation.
🏃♀️ Maintaining Healthy Weight
Combine balanced diet with regular physical activity. Aim for 150 minutes of moderate exercise weekly and include strength training twice per week.
🍎 Healthy Diet Tips
Focus on whole foods: fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains. Control portion sizes and stay hydrated. Limit processed foods and added sugars.
