How to Keep your Weight in Check ? #shorts
2,991What does your BMI say about your health?
Please note that, while BMI (Body Mass Index) is a commonly used measure to assess whether an individual is underweight, overweight or within a healthy weight range. However, it is not a perfect indicator of health as it does not account for individual differences in body composition, such as muscle mass, bone density, and fat distribution.
For example, athletes or bodybuilders who have a higher muscle mass may have a high BMI, which would categorize them as overweight or even obese, despite being in excellent physical health. On the other hand, individuals with a low BMI may have low muscle mass and high body fat, putting them at risk for various health problems.
Therefore, while BMI can be a useful initial screening tool for assessing weight status, it should be used in conjunction with other measures, such as body fat percentage, waist circumference, and overall health assessments, to get a more accurate picture of an individual’s health. Hope this helps 😊
