From all sides models with perfect curves and a slim figure look at us. Some of us may be frustrated by this because our figure is far from that of magazine cover models. But there is no real need to worry. Each of us has an ideal body weight, which depends on height and overall body build.
Table for calculation
The ideal body weight can be easily calculated from the table. The table is divided into several uneven color bands. The y-axis shows height in centimetres. The x-axis then shows weight in kilograms or in the traditional units of stones. Then you only need to find your parameters and see where the respective perpendiculars intersect. Based on that we can find out whether we suffer from underweight, whether our weight is in an optimal state, whether we are overweight, obese or even severely obese.
Today the threat of obesity is becoming increasingly common. Many people, especially in economically developed countries, suffer from being overweight up to obesity. It is therefore recommended to pay attention to your health, eat properly, exercise a lot or engage in other physical activity and watch your weight. It is recommended to limit the consumption of sugars and unhealthy fats.
Muscles must also be taken into account
It is also necessary to realize that ideal body weight does not mean what we see on TV shows or on magazine covers, but what is healthy for us. If we exceed the weight that is ideal for us, the risk of developing heart disease, diabetes, as well as damage to the vascular system and bones, increases.
Finally, it should also be borne in mind that a higher body weight does not automatically mean unhealthy obesity. It mainly depends on the ratio of muscle to fat. This table should not be used by people who actively do strength training, because their body weight may be higher due to muscle mass. In such a case it is better to measure the waist and other body parts to achieve more accurate results.
