What are the Facts about Body Weight?

When discussing the ideal body weight, you also have to know some facts about the body weight. These facts are very important for those of you who are trying to lose or gain weight.

• Actually, BMI has the same benefits as the scale. However, BMI cannot be used as the main thing for determining ideal body weight.
  
  The reason is, there are people who get high BMI values, but after conducting an in-depth examination with the doctor, the person has dense bones and muscles so weight has increased. Therefore, many factors determine a person's weight.
  
  
• Still related to the explanation above, the scale is just a number. So, there are many factors that determine the condition of your health, not just the numbers on the scales. Drinking water, muscles, and bones determine body weight.
  
  The frequency of defecation also determines a person's weight. So, actually, high body weight is not always related to the amount of total fat or calories in your body.
  
  
• People who have ideal body weight are not people who don't have fat on their bodies. In fact, people with ideal body weight still have fat in their bodies. You should be worried when a lot of fat appears in the stomach area because belly fat has the potential to increase the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
  
  Therefore, you don't just monitor your body weight but also measure your waist. Fitwatch.com explains that the ideal waist for men is 102 cm or 40 inches and the ideal waist for women is 88 cm or 35 inches.
  
  
• When you are trying to increase or lose weight, don't just focus on reducing or increasing body fat levels but focus on increasing or decreasing muscle mass. The reason is, muscle mass plays an important role in determining body weight. Therefore, you can do exercises that focus on muscle mass.
