The Ideal Waistline. Someone: "My husbands waist is 106 is that dangerous?" Me:  "ah, let me find out about it"Geez, have you heard of such a thing? I wonder what these health scientists will be measuring next? Health is a lot about numbers did you notice? Our weight, our blood pressure, height, calorie intake, number of hours of sleep and yes the waist line. Seriously! So what is the ideal waistline? According to expert research a waistline of 80 cm (31.5 inches) in Asian women while 88 cm (34.64 in)in European/Caucasian women is a substantial risk. While in men a waistline of 90 cm (35 inches)or 104 cm (40.15) respectively puts them in substantial risk. In short a healthy waistline for Asian women should be less than 31.5, whew thank goodness I passed. Asian men ideally should have a waistline of less than 35. Please don't raise your eyebrows at me, google it and see for yourself. I did not make it up I swear. But why the waistline? It is because Fat stored around your middle can put you at risk for high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, type-2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke. Waist circumference is a good predictor of your risk for heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol and type-2 diabetes. Hey wait, don't be too confident just because you have a smaller waist. There's more to check, the BMI or body mass index. And what is BMI? Body Mass Index is used to estimate your total amount of fat. It is only an approximate measure of the best weight for your health How Is BMI Calculated? To calculate your BMI, you will need to divide your weight in pounds by your height in inches squared and multiply that by 703. The formula is: weight / [height (in inches)]2 x 703 or divide your weight in kilos by your height in meters. Now do some brain exercise do the calculation. Once you have measured your BMI, you can determine your healthy weight range. If your BMI is: Under 18.5 - you are very underweight and possibly malnourished. 18.5 to 24.9 - you have a healthy weight range for young and middle-aged adults. 25.0 to 29.9 - you are overweight Over 30 - you are obese. I'm just curious what is your BMI and waistline?  “Use the quotation for the occasion; do not make an occasion for the quotation.” |
