The Body Mass Index or BMI for short can be used to determine whether a person has a healthy weight. This website is specially designed to calculate the BMI of children. In the case of children, the results of the BMI calculation must be interpreted differently. The above calculator automatically applies the right interpretation.
A healthy BMI guarantees a longer life. However, the BMI does not take a number of factors into account. Is your body apple- or pear-shaped? An apple-shaped body is associated with more risks as the fat accumulates at the middle around vital organs. Consequently such people run a greater risk of developing diabetes or heart problems. With pear-shaped bodies the fat accumulates on the hips and legs.
Sweets and soft drinks are being consumed more and more by young people these days. These products contain many sugars and their consumption is not conducive to maintaining a healthy weight. Fatty foods, such as fries with mayonnaise, should also be avoided. It is a good idea to avoid eating meat for several days a week. Meat from poultry is however less of a health risk than meat derived from pigs and cows. There is also an ethical consideration: some consider it unethical to breed animals for food. These days it is perfectly feasible to live on a plant-based diet.
