out
0:23
what does it mean to have a healthy body
0:25
weight
0:27
a number of you or at least not all
0:30
may quickly think that being thin is
0:32
having a
0:33
healthy body weight but over the years
0:37
healthy body weight has been estimated
0:39
using the body mass
0:41
index the bmi and therefore
0:44
the bmi shows the relationship between
0:47
your weight
0:48
and your height a range between 18.5 to
0:51
24.9
0:53
would indicate that you have a normal
0:56
weight
0:56
anything below 18.5
1:00
will indicate underweight and above 24.9
1:04
would indicate overweight and of course
1:06
30 wouldn't get
1:08
obese however the bmi alone
1:12
cannot indicate a normal weight because
1:16
it might easily exaggerate the body fat
1:20
and sometimes would not tell muscle loss
1:24
especially
1:24
in the elderly but based
1:28
on the bmi the body mass index and
1:30
normal weight
1:31
would range between 18.5 to 24.9
1:35
is healthy weight the same for everyone
1:38
no
1:39
there are particular factors that are
1:40
specific to an individual
1:43
could be genetics could be your age
1:45
could be your height
1:46
and even your weight and therefore this
1:48
already shows you that the bmi might be
1:50
different that is why it is a range
1:52
i range between 18.5 to 24.9
1:55
would indicate that your body weight is
1:58
normal why should you have a healthy
2:01
body weight
2:03
a healthy body weight is is good for
2:05
various reasons because it has very many
2:08
benefits
2:09
first of all it helps you prevent
2:10
occurrence of diseases
2:12
some cancers and also helps you manage
2:15
diabetes
2:16
and hypertension how can you determine
2:19
goals
2:20
for you to achieve a healthy body weight
2:23
number one is to aim for a healthy
2:25
weight
2:26
okay based on your bmi you're able to
2:29
calculate how much weight you need to
2:31
earn
2:32
or to lose in order to fall in the range
2:34
of a normal weight
2:36
so sit down and look at your weight your
2:38
current weight and calculate how much
2:40
weight you need to lose
2:41
all to gain for you to fall in the
2:44
normal
2:45
weight range number two is to calculate
2:49
your caloric
2:50
needs the caloric needs for men is about
2:53
2500 kilocals per day and for women is
2:56
about 2000 kilocals per day
2:59
however the caloric needs are dependent
3:02
on your age your sex your physical
3:04
activity your current medical conditions
3:06
etc therefore caloric needs should be
3:09
individualized
3:10
so based on your caloric needs work on
3:13
your diet
3:15
you need to think of focusing on healthy
3:17
proteins
3:18
focus on healthy fats like i mentioned
3:21
on the video i did on
3:22
how to eat healthy okay
3:25
focus on foods and vegetables then think
3:27
about the carbohydrates that you eat
3:29
okay
3:30
and after you have designed a diet
3:33
create a workout plan
3:35
exercise because you know having a
3:37
healthy diet
3:38
without exercise will end up not having
3:41
the best results that you wish for
3:43
so it's important for you to to include
3:46
exercise alongside your your diet and
3:49
therefore after you've planned
3:50
all these things the next thing to do is
3:53
start
3:54
okay what should you eat to achieve a
3:56
healthy
3:57
weight you remember on the video that i
4:01
did on how to eat
4:02
more fruits and vegetables fruits and
4:04
vegetables play a
4:06
very important role in your health okay
4:09
it helps you maintain a healthy weight
4:11
by helping you
4:12
lose some weight that in case that is if
4:15
in case you are
4:16
overweight okay eating more fruits and
4:19
vegetables also provides your body the
4:21
incision vitamins
4:22
hence improve your immune system okay
4:25
focus on whole grains okay whole grains
4:29
also contain a lot of fiber so in case
4:32
you're overweight
4:33
eating whole grains will help you lose
4:36
weight
4:36
focus on healthy proteins again on the
4:39
video that i did on tips
4:41
on the tips of eating healthy i really
4:44
talked about
4:45
how you can choose foods to ensure that
4:48
you stay
4:48
healthy another thing is to focus on
4:51
unsaturated fats
4:53
okay unsaturated fats are like olive oil
4:57
fats from nuts and seeds then another
5:00
thing is to stay within your caloric
5:02
needs you have calculated your caloric
5:05
needs so that
5:06
the main thing is to stay within your
5:09
caloric
5:10
needs because if it goes down that means
5:13
you're prone to becoming under it and if
5:15
you eat more than what you need
5:17
you're going to become overweight and
5:19
then the last thing you shouldn't forget
5:21
is
5:21
more water drink more water every single
5:24
day
5:26
and what should you not eat okay
5:30
this is easy processed meals junk foods
5:33
i've mentioned these things over
5:35
and over again these things will not
5:37
provide your body the calorie
5:38
calories it needs except it's the vice
5:41
versa they bring more effects to your
5:43
body than
5:44
cold you also need to moderate your use
5:46
of added sugars
5:47
moderate your alcohol intake also fat
5:50
like i've mentioned
5:51
focus on unsaturated fats and not
5:54
