BMI
Know Your Body Mass Index (BMI)

BMI stands for Body Mass Index it's a simple calculation used to estimate whether your weight is within a healthy range based on your height. Doctors use BMI as a quick health screening tool to assess if someone is at risk for health problems like heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, sleep apnea, and certain cancers.

Knowing your BMI is important because it helps you understand if your weight is within a healthy range — which can directly impact your overall health and risk of developing certain diseases.

Understanding your BMI helps you take charge of your health early before bigger problems show up. Take a BMI test, it can tell you more about your health.

BENEFITS
Early Health Detection

Even if you feel fine, having a BMI outside of the healthy range can silently increase your risk of future health problems. It helps you set realistic weight loss or weight gain goals.

Doctors often use BMI to recommend diet changes, exercise plans, and lifestyle adjustments. If you're working on your fitness or health journey, BMI can help guide you in the right direction.

If your BMI is 25 or higher, it means you're carrying extra weight, which can put more strain on your heart, increase your risk of diabetes, cause joint pain, lead to breathing problems (like sleep apnea), and it shortens your lifespan. A BMI under 18.5 might signal malnutrition, weakened immune system, risk of osteoporosis, fertility issues (for women)
