3 quick and accurate ways to check your health

Resting your waist or heart rate are two quick and easy tests that will help you determine if your current weight is reasonable.

Many people with obesity BMI are completely healthy, the International Obesity Magazine reported. That means BMI is not always accurate. Here are other ways to check whether your weight is reasonable or not, according to Fox News.

Waist

If your abdomen is full of fat, you are more likely to develop heart disease or type 2 diabetes. You can easily measure your waist with a tape measure. Measurements of round 2 over 80 cm in women and 94 cm in men warn you are at high risk of getting sick.

Heart rate rest

Place two fingers on the pulse in your wrist or neck and count the beats for a minute. From 60 to 100 beats is normal, lower than this means better health than normal indicates that the heart is working harder due to a lazy body.

Check body fat

Unlike BMI, body fat tests tell you the amount of excess fat, separate from muscle mass. The ideal fat index for women is 20-32% and for men 8-19%.

In addition, you can consider weight based on basic metabolic rate but this method is relatively complex and not uniformly calculated.
