You Deserve A Longer & Healthier Life!

First let’s review some of health measurements:

1. BMI stands for Body Mass Index and is related to fitness. The higher your BMI, the less likely you are to be fit.If your BMI is at or blow 18.5 it is low, 18.5-24.9 is on target and +25 is high.
2. Body Fat is important for the body to store certain levels of fat to function properly; however, carrying too much or too little body fat can be dangerous. Measuring and tracking your body fat gives you another tool to monitor your overall health.
   Body Fat Rating from 1 to 12 indicates that you have a healthy level of visceral fat. Continue monitoring your rating to ensure it stays within the healthy range.
   Body Fat  Rating from 13 – 59 indicates that you have an excess level of visceral fat. It is better to consider making some changes in your lifestyle possibly through diet changes or increasing exercise.
3. Body Water General health standards indicate that one should consume approximately 64 oz. of water per day from food and liquids to maintain a healthy level of hydration. Maintaining a good hydration level will help improve your overall health and general feeling of well-being. If your hydration levels are lower than average, you should increase your water intake accordingly.
   Total body water percentage ranges for a healthy adult are:
   Female : 45 to 60%
   Male : 50 to 65%
4. Bone Mass is a living, growing tissue. During youth,body makes new bone tissue faster than it breaks down older bone. It’s important to measure changes in bone mass over several years. Exercising frequently and consuming a calcium-rich diet help us to maintain healthy bones.
5. Muscle mass includes the skeletal muscles, smooth muscles and also the water contained in these muscles. Since muscles play an important role as they act as an engine in consuming energy, as muscle mass increases, energy consumption increases and it helps  us to reduce excess body fat levels and lose weight in a healthy way. Muscle mass index is a predictor of longevity in older adults.

As you can see, if you would like to track your health status, it is better to track your health measurements to motivate you to stay in healthy shape, not just track your weight. Also, it is important if you’re trying to lose weight or at least, you definitely need to measure these health measurements. So, be smart and track your health measurements!
