WEIGHT CHART FOR WOMEN AND MEN, WHAT IS YOUR IDEAL WEIGHT ACCORDING TO YOUR BODY SHAPE, AGE AND HEIGHT?

There is a huge difference between the ideal weight and desired. The ideal weight is an optimal number that the human body needs to have to work properly and the desired weight very often is unhealthy. There are a lot of factors that should consider in order to make a chart for ideal body weight. If you search the internet, you will find many charts, which unfortunately are not good because are made according to just one or two factors. 

This chart is based on several serious kinds of research by doctors and is much more different than the others. Doctors made various calculations in order to create this chart. It is important to mention that this chart does not follow the trends for body weight that, as we said before, are unhealthy.

This chart is made following the health of the human body and also according to age, height and body shape. Measure your weight, height and find your proportions. Find out if you need to gain or lose weight. According to your characteristics, see how close are you to the ideal and also healthy weight:

 How to calculate frame size

1. Extend your arm in front of your body bending your elbow at a ninety-degree angle to your body so that your forearm is parallel to your body.
2. Keep your fingers straight and turn the inside of your wrist towards your body.
3. Place your thumb and index finger on the two prominent bones on either side of your elbow, then measure the distance between the bones with a tape measure.

The latest trends are promoting excessive weight loss. Unfortunately, that way of wasting weight is not a good option for your health. Losing weight too quickly may cause obesity, but also may cause more serious diseases, such as diabetes, heart problems, hypertension and many other. So, the “golden middle” rule seems to be the best option.The chart lists elbow measurements for a medium frame. If your elbow measurement for that particular height is less than the number of inches listed, you are a small frame. If your elbow measurement for that particular height is more than the number of inches listed, you are a large frame.

Reasons for Weight Gain

Eating too much and not exercising enough to burn off those calories you consumed is the simplest explanation for weight gain. You may not know, however, that it actually gets more complicated.

Many factors can play a role in determining weight gain and the amount of work required to lose weight.

• The quantity and quality of food in your diet is the most relevant factor.
• Exercising provides a range of benefits, including reducing the chances of heart disease, some types of cancer, and other chronic diseases.
• Research suggests a link between how much people sleep and how much they weigh. In general, children and adults who get too little sleep tend to weigh more than those who get enough sleep.
• Some people are genetically predisposed to gaining weight more easily than others. Genes even indicate if someone might be prone to storing fat around the midsection.

Don’t Just Lose Weight; Keep It Off

• Just focus on maintaining that weight. Watch what you eat, and keep exercising.
• But, typically, it’s not that easy. Most people between the ages of 18 and 49 gain 1 or 2 pounds every year. As the pounds add up, so do the potential health risks, including heart disease, stroke, and cancer.
• Middle-aged women and men who gained 11-22 pounds after age 20 were as much as three times more likely to develop heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, and gallstones than those who gained 5 pounds or less.
• If your weight is in the healthy range and isn’t more than 10 pounds over what you weighed when you turned 21, focus on maintaining that weight by watching what you eat and exercising.
