BMI falls within the range of 18.5 to 24. If your BMI is between 24 and 28, you are considered overweight; a BMI of 28 or higher shows obesity. Moreover, doctors recommend measuring your waist: men should keep it under 90 cm, and women under 85 cm.
Eating right is important, and exercise matters just as much. When it comes to diet, choose whole grains like brown rice, fresh vegetables, and fish, chicken, or beans. Say no to fried foods and sugary snacks, and also limit your salt and oil intake.
When exercising, aim for 150 to 300 minutes of activities like walking, cycling or dancing each week, and strength exercises twice a week. If you find yourself sitting for hours while studying, make sure to stand up and stretch for 3 to 5 minutes every hour.
Besides diet and exercise, small daily habits can also make a big difference. Teens should get 7 hours of sleep nightly, as poor sleep can make them put on weight. Try eating vegetables first, then meat, and finally rice or bread during meals to control the amount of food.
Remember, losing weight isn’t about perfection—simply start with small changes, like having water instead of soda or taking the stairs instead of the lift. With these effortless steps, everyone can build a healthier future.
