Body Mass Index

Engage in a high-intensity resistance-training routine. Work all of the large muscle groups, including your quads, back, shoulders, legs, hamstrings, arms and chest. Start with a light weight and do a warm-up set for 10 to 12 reps. Increase the weight by 5 to 10 lb. and do another set for 10 to 12 reps. Continue this process until you find a weight that allows you to fail at around eight repetitions. This is your target weight. The amount of weight greatly varies depending on the person and the exercise. When you find your target weight for each exercise, record it and strive to surpass it in reps next time. When you surpass it, increase the target weight by 5 to 10 lb. Do a full-body workout three times a week.

Eat lean proteins and complex carbohydrates. Reduce saturated fats and cut out trans fats completely. Fish, chicken breast, lean beef, nuts, beans and yogurt are all examples of lean proteins. Complex carbohydrates, such as breads, rice and oatmeal, give your body sufficient energy that it needs to live. Whole-grain breads and brown rice have more fiber than white breads and rice, but both are complex carbs. Eat vegetables daily with your meals and eat fruits for breakfast and snacks.

Engage in a regular cardiovascular routine. Run, walk, jog, swim or bike at least three times a week for 30 minutes. Cardiovascular exercise helps your body shed fat and burn calories. Cardio also increases your endurance, strengthens your heart and improves the overall condition of your health.

Increase your consumption of essential fatty acids. Omega-6 and -3 fatty acids are necessary components of not only building lean muscle mass, but also overall normal growth and brain function. These acids are not found in the body naturally. They must be consumed in the foods you eat. These acids are found in fish oil, flax oil, pumpkin seeds, sesame oil, hemp oil, walnuts, pistachios, eggs, leafy green vegetables and soybeans.

Drink plenty of water. Water is necessary for all healthy bodily functions, including weight loss and muscle gain. Water helps your muscles recover from the strain they undergo in weight training and moves the oxygen flow throughout your body. When you are hydrated, you are also able to quell false hunger cravings that may spur from dehydration.

Rest and give your body adequate time to recover. Do not over-train. Rest and recovery are important factors in developing muscle growth. If you do not allow your muscles to heal properly with adequate rest, you can hinder your results and cause harm to your body. Only lift weights every other day.

To determine how much water you should drink, a common recommendation is to consume half your body weight in ounces. At 13 stone 11 pounds (which is approximately 191 pounds), you should aim for about 95.5 ounces of water per day, or roughly 2.8 liters. Factors such as activity level, climate, and individual health needs should also be considered, so adjust accordingly.

Just because your BMI is in the underweight category doesn't necessarily mean you have an eating disorder, although that is a sign. But some people can just have a higher metabolism than others, making them weigh less than average.

When you inhale you fill both your stomach and lungs with air. This results in the expansion of your chest and stomach.

This also explains the ever elusive , "Why you burp when eat fast?" question.

The simplest answer is to look at it this way. Take a circular piece of steel (not a flat disk but a rod formed into a circle). The center of mass will be in the center of the circle, which is not within the body of the steel.

BMI is NOT a scam. It is a corporation that represents the songwriters. Same with ASCAP. They both make sure that every songwriter gets compensated for writing the song! Nobody works for free, including songwriters.

There are several organizations that have online Body Mass Index (BMI) calculators. The National Institutes of Health, Centers for Disease Control, and American Heart Association all have such calculators on their websites.

A BMI of 15.3 is severely underweight, and not healthy at all. The minimum one's BMI should be is 18.5, unless you're under 18.

Only if you put one in each pocket. Even tho they have sugars , they also have a lot of good nutients and anti-oxidants. Eating actual Pomegranates is a chore, if you don't want to swallow the 9 million little seeds in each one.Bottled is OK, and if you have a juicer, cut them up skin and all for the most health benefits, and they are yummy.

14 year olds should not use adult BMI charts as they are still growing. Your doctor knows you best and if you are healthy you are probably all right. Have you just had a growth spurt and are waiting for your weight to catch up? Are you a fidgety person, never still, always on the go? that will increase your metabolic rate and keep your weight down. In a country where the citizens are rapidly becoming obese with all the attendant health problems I wouldn't worry about being a little underweight, just eat a healthy diet, exercise and be thankful you don't have to watch the calories.

Taking laxatives alot is very bad for health actually. Using them on a daily basis for weight management can cause an intestinal rupture. (Super painful!) I know managing weight is super hard, but there are safer ways. Try an mantain by eating smaller meal, that are mostly protiens and fruits and veggies. Also, keep up an exercise regimine. As long as you stay away from the sweets, you won't get bigger. Stop using the laxatives and start doing that. :) I garentee the weight won't come on again!:) Good luck

just eat watermelon for 1 week and you will see the results

It gives a general perspective of the person's height vs fat proportion. It's not accurate specially in athletes or bodybuilders. Less than 23% is considered normal, above 24 overweight and above 30% morbidly obese
