Kikokotoo cha BMI na Ushauri wa Mlo wa wiki

BMI (Uwiano wa Uzito kwa Urefu) ni kipimo kinachotumika kutathmini kama mtu ana uzito unaofaa kulingana na urefu wake. Kinahesabiwa kwa kugawanya uzito (kwa kilo) kwa mraba wa urefu (kwa mita).

Kipimo hiki ni muhimu kwa sababu

Husaidia kutambua kama mtu ana uzito mdogo, wa kawaida, uzito uliopita kiasi, au unene uliopitiliza.
Hutoa mwongozo wa kiafya kuhusu lishe bora na mabadiliko ya mtindo wa maisha.
Huwezesha mtu kupanga aina ya mlo wa kila siku ili kupunguza, kuongeza, au kudumisha uzito.
Ni nyenzo rahisi ya kuzuia magonjwa yanayohusiana na uzito kama vile kisukari, shinikizo la damu, na magonjwa ya moyo.

Kikokotoo hiki kitakusaidia kujua BMI yako na kisha kukupatia mpango wa mlo wa wiki unaofaa kulingana na hali yako ya sasa ya kiafya.
