Have you heard about Body Mass Index as a health parameter but are clueless about how it works? Body Mass Index has been an old-school but reliable method to monitor your weight against the physical capacities of your body while considering your age and growth. Interestingly, this method doesn’t classify you in a single mold of unrealistic body goals for all ages but considers all factors before determining your requisite weight. Let’s discover how!

Healthy BMI and Its Calculation!

A healthy BMI is considered to be anywhere in between 18.5 to 25 while anyone below 18.5 is considered to be underweight and a person with more than 25 levels is considered to be obese. Most dieticians depend on BMI score to prescribe proper diets and health regimes for an individual. It is calculated by keeping your age, weight and height into consideration. You can check your BMI here. 

How An Unhealthy BMI Can Affect Your Body?

Underweight or an overweight individual can suffer a lot of health complications if his/her BMI isn’t regulated. Diseases like diabetes, hypertension and other chronic ailments can affect an individual immensely if his/her BMI isn’t kept in check! The other side of the coin is that an unhealthy BMI can help detect any irregular function of your exocrine or endocrine glands and any irregularity in your BMI should be immediately brought to attention.

How To Keep Your BMI Regulated and Up Your Physique Game?

If you have got your BMI evaluated and find yourself on either side of the unhealthy score, we recommend you to start working towards your fitness goals right away. While you may think it to be a bit complicated, it really isn’t! Experts recommend a healthy lifestyle comprising of exercise and a balanced diet. Extra dosage of hydration and supplements of your deficient nutritional elements can change your game. However, be wary of high-calorie drinks and high carb diets to help your fitness causes. In addition to the above notes, we recommend you to get a diet chart made by a professional dietician and regularly seek professional advice for a healthy BMI score.
