ℹ️ Why is it useful to know your BMI?
Body mass index (BMI or BMI) is a quick indicator that correlates weight with your height. It is not a perfect method, but it can give you an overview of your body condition and the associated risks:
- It is easy to calculate and interpret
- Helps you set realistic weight goals
- It can be correlated with other health factors (eg: fat percentage, analyzes, lifestyle)
For a complete evaluation, analysis of body composition (fat, muscle mass) is also recommended, but the BMI remains an excellent starting point.
🧮 How to interpret BMI
What exactly does it mean?
- IMC < 18.5→ Possible deficit of fat and muscle mass. Recommended: nutrient-rich diet and exercise for muscle growth.
- IMC 18.5 — 24.9→ Ideal weight. Maintain an active and balanced lifestyle!
- IMC 25 -- 29.9→ Transition to overweight. Daily exercise and intermittent fasting can help.
- BMI > 30→ There is an increased risk of diseases (diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases). Medical consultation is recommended.
No. The BMI provides a general estimate based only on height and weight. The percentage of body fat is more accurate, but requires special equipment. The ideal is to use both, if you can.
Yes! You may have a BMI within normal limits but have too little muscle mass or an unbalanced diet. Therefore, BMI should be correlated with lifestyle, analyzes and level of physical activity.
Alas, not yet! But the dream can be a sign that it's time to start. The computer helps you with the first step — reality is in the fridge and on the yoga mat 😄
