Why is BMI Important for Your Health?
Body Mass Index (BMI) is a simple screening method used by doctors and insurance companies to classify your weight status. In India, maintaining a BMI between 18.5 and 22.9 is considered ideal due to genetic differences compared to western standards.
Health Risks of High BMI
If your BMI is above 25 (Overweight), you are at a higher risk for lifestyle diseases. Doctors recommend checking your BMI regularly to prevent:
- Type 2 Diabetes: High weight increases insulin resistance.
- Heart Disease: Excess fat puts pressure on your cardiovascular system.
- Insurance Premiums: Did you know? Many Health Insurance companies in India charge higher premiums for people with a high BMI.
Simple Tips to Lower Your BMI
- Diet: Replace white rice with brown rice or chapati.
- Hydration: Drink 3-4 liters of water daily.
- Activity: A simple 30-minute brisk walk can burn unnecessary calories.
