Calculate Your BMI || Effect of BMI on Health || Know your BMI || How much weight or low weight can affect your health

Is your body weight right according to your height? You can get an answer from BMI scores.

Now, what is BMI?

BMI, i.e. Body Mass Index is the relation between the weight and height of a person. The amount of fat in the body is measured by the BMI score.

What is your BMI?
To know your BMI you have to do -
 

1. First measure your weight in kilo
2. Now measure your height at the meter scale (If you measured on the foot scale, 1 meter = 3.28 feet or 1ft = 0.305 meters.) To avoid the complexity go to Google to convert your height to the meter or you can use any converter app.

3. Now square your height (that is, if the height is 1.6 meters, calculate the value of 1.6x1.6)
4. Now divide your weight (kg) by the square of height
5. The result is your BMI!
Easily the whole equation -
BMI = (your weight in kg) ÷ (Your height at meters × your height at meter)
for example (60kg) ÷ (1.65 × 1.65) = 22.04
Here is 22.04 BMI.

How will you be knowing if your weight is OK?
1. BMI 16-18.5 = Underweight / Weight less than required. In this case, you need to have regular nutritious food, increase weight.
2. BMI 18.5 to 25 = Normal weight (if there is no disease, that is the ' good health ').
3. BMI 25 to 30 = Overweight / extra weight than required. In this case, try to come to normal weight by exercising and proper dieting. In_Shaha_Allah you will be healthy)

4. BMI 30 to 40 = Obesity; such physical weight brings suffering to everyday life. In this case, you should consult with doctors and nutritionists and make the best effort to lose weight.
5. BMI is more than 40 = Morbid Obesity. In such cases, the person becomes very vulnerable. It is almost impossible to move without help from others. Here, it is compulsory to follow the doctor's advice!

In some cases BMI calculation may be additional. That means, despite being more than normal 18.5-25 BMI, it will be considered as normal and healthy -

-Body Builder
-Athletes / Players
- At pregnancy

-People of different ethnic group Asians, Indians, and Bangladeshi People [The cut of value for Bangladeshi people is 27.5 kg/m^2]

 

 Waist measurement

 

These BMI calculations are not effective in children, who are physically handicapped, who cannot walk and have muscle defects.

BMI is not the best measure of weight health risk. Waist measurement is considered to be a good predictor of health risks.

More weight or less weight can affect your health

The relation of getting sick with excess weight or obesity is not guaranteed. Research is underway; although statistically, if you gain more weight then there is a great chance of getting infected with various diseases. For example, the risk of death increases slightly (20 to 30 percent), because BMI increases from 25 to 27. If the BMI is higher than 27, the risk of death increases even more (60 percent).

If you are overweight ( 25 BMI ) and physically disabled , then you  can develop :
-Cardiovascular ( heart and blood circulation )  disease
-Gallbladder disease
