BODY COMPOSITION<\/strong> \u2013 the % of body fat we have.<\/strong> HWR \u2013 Hip Waist Ratio.<\/strong> STEP COUNT.<\/strong> NUTRITION.<\/strong> I’m not condoning the “Do Nothing” approach. But what weight should they get down to??<\/p>\n There is no such thing as a healthy weight. No ideal goal. If you yourself are striving for a particular weight goal and its just not coming PLEASE read on.<\/p>\n The Big Picture is not complex.<\/p>\n There is no such thing as a Healthy Weight. Only a Healthy Human.<\/p>\n I believe a healthy human being is regularly active, has energy, motivated, stable weight, with a healthy attitude to both exercise and food. The healthy human also has mental \/ emotional strength and clarity. They know their strengths and weaknesses. They have goals, wants, desires.<\/p>\n But they still have that nugget of happiness deep within them, thankful for what they have.<\/p>\n The human body is an incredible thing which never ceases to amaze me. And a healthy human is a wonderful thing which evolves, matures and ages. And, I believe, is never really complete. (phew).<\/p>\n What do YOU think?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
\nThis is one of my preferred measures for my ladies, especially in conjunction with photos and NSVs. But it needs special bio-electrical impedance scales which can be costly. Its also an electronic thing which measure total body water, so is prone to error due to variations in hydration.<\/p>\n
\nThis is the relationship between your waist measure and your hip measure. It\u2019s a calculation to find out how \u201capple-shaped\u201d we are. The theory is that a larger waist than hips indicates a health risk, because more of the weight is around the vital organs. Its kinda visual. Life Insurance companies might ask you for these measures to work out your life expectancy. Takes zero account of muscle mass, variations in physique or activity levels.<\/p>\n
\nThen there\u2019s our daily movement. The mythical 10,000 steps goal which, allegedly, is unscientific and arbitrary. We can be overweight, healthy, underweight, or ill \u2026 and still do the 10k steps.<\/p>\n
\nAll of the above can be negated if nutrition isn\u2019t spot on. In my opinion, you might be a fine, toned, gym bunny with perfect stats. But if you\u2019re eating rubbish food, or chemical laden supplements and meal replacements, or obsessions about exercise or your shale, then you yourself are not a \u201chealthy person\u201d<\/p>\n
\nWe know we are in the midst of an obesity epidemic, so clearly many folks are way too heavy. This article isn’t me condoning those who have an overweight issue to do nothing about it.<\/p>\n
\nThey enjoy exercise – it makes them feel good.
\nThey love good food, and can tell the difference between good food and less good food. they know food and drink are to be enjoyed, not a treat nor a punishment. They eat mostly according to need.<\/p>\n
