How to Know the Ideal Weight

Ideal weight (based on Body Mass Index (BMI)) is a measure of one’s health and shows the proximity to developing serious health conditions. The simple way of calculating ideal weight is: Subtract 100 from your height (in centimetres). The healthy weight range for a particular height would be + or -3 kg. For instance, if an individual’s height is 170 cm, then the ideal weight for that height would be 170-100=70. The healthy weight range for that height is + or -3 kg which is 67-73 kg. If the person’s weight does not fall in the range and exceeds 73 kg, then he is overweight or obese and his goal will be to lose weight to achieve the optimum range. Another equally important parameter in the measurement of obesity is the Waist to Hip Ratio(WHR). For males, a WHR of 0.90 and for females, a WHR of 0.85 is considered obesity.

Obesity

Obesity is a state where the body’s calorie intake surpasses the calories burned, in turn leading to the excess calories stored in the body as body fat. This happens as a result of consuming more calories than required by the body or consistently eating a high-fat diet or being sedentary. Obesity can also be caused by other factors like environmental, behavioral, or genetic factors. Prompt treatment of the underlying conditions of obesity and overweight issues saves one from critical ailments like liver and heart diseases, diabetes, and kidney problems.

A perfect Ayurvedic diet not only involves a custom-made diet plan based on individual body type but also a strategy to maintain it through a conscious eating manner. So, what is meant by conscious eating or mindful eating? It is the habit of focusing on one’s food while eating without getting distracted for instance, by electronic gadgets like TV or mobile. Hence one is aware of how much food is being consumed and when to stop. Along with following mindful eating habits, it is also recommended to follow the diet plan according to one’s dosha types like Kapha, Pitha, or Vata dosha. Drinking water the right way is also mandatory for a healthy body as it relaxes the muscles and helps lose weight.
