Here I am going to tell you some of the reading of BMI table.

  • You are considered as underweight if you are under the range of 18.5 – so you need to increase the intake of beef.
  • If you are under the range of 18.5 to 25, you are considered as healthy – so maintain a healthy lifestyle to continue with this healthy BMI throughout your life.
  • If you are under the range of 25 to 30 then you are in the list of overweight and need to work out to maintain the weight to be healthy.
  • But the most considerable reading is above 30, you considered as “obese” which means you need to change your whole lifestyle to become healthy.

If you think that BMI will give you all the data regarding your health and body, then you need to reconsider this thought. BMI does not give this data at any cost, because the world of health is not that simple at all.
