The assumed, proper weight is not the same for everyone. Every person is different, so different factors play a role in determining a person’s ideal weight. These factors may be biological (age, height, gender), psychological factors may be equally important.
The ideal weight can be defined as the one at which a person feels best both mentally and physically.
Despite the movement of #bodypositive, health should not be completely neglected, as long as we care about it.
Maintaining a reasonable weight can reduce the risk of many health problems, for example: type II diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease.
Not all overweight people develop health problems, but numerous studies have shown that long-term difficulties in controlling weight can cause changes in the future.
BMI is the most popular tool that is used to measure the proper weight of a person in relation to their height. The result obtained means:
| BMI | CATEGORY |
|---|---|
| <18.5 | underweight |
| 18,5-24,9 | correct weight |
| 25-29,9 | overweight |
| >30 | obesity |
