Caluclate Your Body Fat Percentage

Fat loss, not just weight reduction, should be your aim when you are trying to improve your health, increase your level of fitness, or engage in purposeful weight loss. The lean mass, or fat-free mass, that your body requires is what you want to hold onto. Bone, blood, connective tissue, organs, and muscle are all components of lean mass. Sometimes losing weight results in muscle loss, but this is not the sort of weight reduction you want. Maintaining muscle mass can help you achieve better glucose control, increase metabolism, and help your body work and perform more effectively.

Calculate Your Body Mass Index

Given there is a correlation between being overweight or obese and having specific health disorders, BMI is used to test the general population for these problems. A low BMI can be a symptom of health concerns, whereas a high BMI may indicate a higher risk of disease. Individuals who are underweight according to the BMI scale may be more prone to heart disease, depression, infertility, dry skin, hair loss, irregular menstruation, dietary deficiencies, osteoporosis, and decreased immunity.
