There are various crash/fad diets which claim to help people lose weight quickly but they are harmful because they eliminate certain nutrients resulting in decreased immunity.
Body Mass Index
It is the measure of an individual’s relative size with respect to his body mass and height. It is used to measure if one’s weight is healthy or not. It is the ratio of your body weight to the square of your height and its unit is kg/m2 . An individual is considered to be healthy and have an appropriate weight if his/her BMI is within 18.5 and 24.9. Nowadays there’s a greater tendency to measure a person’s body fat percentage which many believe is a more accurate indication of one’s health and well-being.
