8 Surprising Facts About Your Body That Could Indicate a Longer Life
4. Your Body Mass Index (BMI) Falls Between 18.5 and 25
Maintaining a healthy BMI is a critical indicator of overall health and longevity. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) classifies a normal BMI range from 18.5 to 25. A BMI outside of this range—especially obesity—can lead to various health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and more. Calculating your BMI is simple: divide your weight in kilograms by your height in meters squared. Staying within a normal BMI range is not just about appearance but plays a vital role in ensuring a healthy, long life.
