In this edition I’m going to touch on a very common topic of general interest that we’ve all discussed at some point, I’m talking about body weight, the number of kilograms a person weighs or weighs or can weigh, the number Is the deciding factor for some people to start dieting in order to lose weight, that’s fine, I hope I’m not misunderstood, the real problem comes when weight is the only purpose, eating the right balanced diet is the only goal.
This topic may seem crazy or nonsensical to many of our readers, and while weight is one factor to consider when knowing whether our health is at its best, it is not a determining factor or an absolute definition of whether we are. healthy person.
Some people still have a misconception that if I measure 1.60 meters, I must weigh 60 kg, this information is completely wrong, although it has been used as an indicator of adequacy of weight for many years, in our lives now Know that’s not the case.
Let me give you an example. Imagine an athlete practicing bodybuilding. His height is 1.70 meters. According to his height, we say that his weight must be 70 kg, but it turns out that this athlete weighs 100 kg. He is a bodybuilding competition A person who obviously pays attention to his diet and exercises regularly, can we say that this person has a certain degree of obesity? Just by weighing less than 70 kg, it can be seen that this athlete is not obese, and most of his weight comes from the percentage of muscle mass.
Let’s look at the example of a person who does not do any exercise, lives a completely sedentary life, his height is equal to 1.70 meters and weighs 85 kg, he has a prominent abdomen and measures 125 cm, although this person weighs less with Compared to the previous example, he is in poorer health because his body fat and visceral fat percentages are definitely high.
There are exceptions, if they must achieve a specific weight, and that is for participants in sports regulated by categories where weight is determined, such as boxing, mixed martial arts, Olympic weightlifting, just to name a few of the most notable examples.
There are other more important indicators that can be used as indicators to measure the health of each of us, such as body fat percentage, muscle mass percentage, triglyceride and cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels, visceral fat, if we experience daily constipation, dizziness, Headache, unexplained diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, gastritis, colitis and other problems.
How you feel is important when following a diet and exercising, be sure to seek the advice of a health professional who can guide you in improving your lifestyle and eating habits as these are the foundation of living a healthier life .
