Calculate BMI

Obesity has a great impact on health. In addition to causing the physical decline, it may also lead to related diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure. Obesity often occurs unknowingly, and the public should check their weight from time to time.

Regularly weigh yourself, and then calculate the Body Mass Index (BMI) to assess whether the weight is standard. BMI is calculated as your weight (in kilograms) divided by the square of your height (in metres) or BMI = Kg/M2.

Less than 18.5 = Underweight
Between 18.5-24.9 = Healthy Weight
Between 25-29.9 = Overweight
Over 30 = Obese

Create Healthy Life

During the lockdown period, it is recommended that the public use treadmills and fitness equipment to exercise at home. You can also dance by following videos on the Internet. In addition, you can use simple equipment such as skipping rope and hula hoop to move your body.

Control your diet! Take a balanced intake of 6 types of food, including grains, protein, vegetables, fruits, dairy products, and nuts, to meet the body’s nutritional needs. You can drink a cup of 240ml of dairy products every day and get calcium through dairy products.

Reducing food intake and increasing exercise are the key points for weight loss. Although it may be painful at first, you will get used to this healthy life later. Use perseverance to maintain weight and make your body healthier.
