Calculate your BMI !
(Body Mass Index)
BMI (Body Mass Index) is a number that is calculated using the weight and
height of a person. It is a pretty accurate indicator of the fat in the body for most
people. BMI does not measure the body fat in a direct way. BMI can be considered
an alternative to measuring the body fat directly. What is more, calculating the BMI
is a cheap and accessible way of monitoring the weight categories that could create
health issues.
For women, an excellent BMI is between 21 and 23. Overweight is
indicated by a BMI 20% bigger than the highest possible value (over 27.3), while
obesity has values 40% bigger than the maximum ideal indicator (over 32.3).
For men, an excellent BMI is between 22 and 24. Overweight is indicated
by a BMI 16% bigger than the highest possible value (over 27.8), while obesity has
values 40% bigger than the maximum ideal indicator (over 31.1).
Calculating the BMI is recommended for persons over 20 years old. In case
of children and adolescents calculating it is more complex and that is why different
methods of calculating the BMI are applied.

-What is body fat? (BF)?
The body fat percentage (BF%) is represented by the essential body
fat and deposited fat. The essential body fat is necessary for maintaining life
and reproductive functions. For men, it is about 2-5% of the total body mass
while at women it is between 8-12%.
For women, the optimal body fat level is between 25% and 31%.
For men, the optimal body fat level is between 18% and 24%.
The exception is professional sport players because of the increased muscle
mass. The table below shows the body fat levels for different sports.

-What is hydration?
The human body contains about 45-70% water. Because of the fact that we are
composed of mostly water, maintaining an optimal hydration level is extremely

BSC 100
important for our health. it is recommended that men drink 3 and women 2.2 liters
of water daily.
An optimal hydration level is considered to be between 60% and 70%.
Because of the fact that the human metabolism uses body fat as fuel, it is necessary
to make it work as fast as possible. It needs water for processing calories. The
metabolism slows down in case of dehydration due to this fact. According to a study
made at the end of 2003, after consuming 2 glasses of water, the metabolism speeds
up with 30%.

Technological evolution made people sedentary and that means the body has low
energy consumption. In the tables below you can find the daily calories necessary
based on your activity.
