July 9, 2009

 body mass index
 Body Mass Index (BMI) is used to estimate the total amount of fat in the body. It is calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by height in meters squared. For example, a BMI of 70 kg human growth 1 and 7 m - 24 2.

While the BMI calculation formula was established in the 19th century, the term "body mass index" first appeared in print in 1972, after which he became widely known. At the beginning of the 1980s, the World Health Organization has used BMI for statistics in studies of obesity. Experts recognize that the BMI is good for statistics, but is not suitable for diagnostics. So, based on the BMI can not diagnose such disorders as anorexia Anorexia nervosa - symptoms and effects on the body  Anorexia nervosa - symptoms and effects on the body
   or obesity, but it can serve as a benchmark for the assessment of some health risks associated with overweight or underweight.

What is BMI

  • BMI less than 18 - very little weight, perhaps as a result of malnutrition; usually need treatment.
  • BMI less than 20 - underweight, recommended gain a few kilos, although it is not critical.
  • BMI from 20 to 25 - the normal weight for young people and middle-aged people.
  • BMI from 26 to 30 - overweight.
  • BMI greater than 30 - obese.

There may be exceptions. BMI may overestimate body fat in pregnant women, people, bodybuilders and professional athletes. Older people and people whose mobility is limited because of illness, BMI may be lower than the actual body fat.

In addition, BMI rate depends on the growth and structural features of the human body.

For example, in Japan, the average population growth is lower than the growth in Europe, is considered a normal BMI of 18, 5 and 22, 9. BMI of 23 to 24, 9 to the Japanese - is overweight and above 25 - obesity. In Singapore, a sign of obesity is considered a BMI above 27, 6.

 Zhuydemen - Chinese suspicious vehicle

Claims to producers Zhuydemena

Capsules and slimming tea Zhuyzhemen - it's not drugs and biologically active additives to food. This means that they are not subject to such strict control as medicines. And this has given rise to violations of the manufacturers of such products and a lot of myths about them among consumers.
