BODY MASS INDEX ( BMI )
WHAT IS BODY MASS INDEX?
Body mass index (BMI) is an estimate of body fat based on height and weight. It doesnt measure
body fat directly, but instead uses an equation to make an approximation. BMI can help determine
whether a person is at an unhealthy or healthy weight.
A high BMI can be a sign of too much fat on the body, while a low BMI can be a sign of too little fat on
the body. The higher a persons BMI, the greater their chances of developing certain serious
conditions, such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. A very low BMI can also cause
health problems, including bone loss, decreased immune function, and anemia.
While BMI can be useful in screening children and adults for body weight problems, it does have its
limits. BMI may overestimate the amount of body fat in athletes and other people with very muscular
bodies. It may also underestimate the amount of body fat in older adults and other people who have
lost muscle mass.

DIET
1..
a special course of food to which one restricts oneself,
either to lose weight or for medical reasons
Its no secret that the amount of calories people eat and
drink has a direct impact on their weight: Consume the
same number of calories that the body burns over time,
and weight stays stable.
FITNESS & EXERCISE
Exercising regularly, every day if possible, is the single most
important thing you can do for your health. In the short term,
exercise helps to control appetite, boost mood, and improve
sleep. In the long term, it reduces the risk of heart disease,
stroke, diabetes, dementia, depression, and many cancers.
BEHAVIOUR MODIFICATION
Behaviour Modification and Physical Activity
(Weight maintenance, Overweight, Obesity and Severe Obesity)
Behaviour plays a significant role in weight management. Modifying
behaviour that contributed to developing obesity is one way to treat the
disease of obesity either alone or in conjunction with other treatments. A few
behaviour change strategies include:
Self-monitoring
Increasing physical activity
Becoming educated about the body and how to nourish it appropriately
Engaging in a support group
Setting realistic goals
