BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)
A BMI is considered NORMAL between 20 and 25.
BMI is calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared.
In the absence of a direct measure of body fat, it is an index based on weight and height.
This indicator is not the most relevant because weight only determines if we are heavy.
It’s the percent of body fat that determines whether we are fat or not.
The Food Reeducation and Behavioural Program and Body Modelling by Clínica do Tempo®, enables an individualisation of the alimentary regime and weight and fat excess reduction, in a healthy and permanent way. So it is possible to timely prevent different pathologies, of genetic origin or related to lifestyle and life experiences, hence prolonging longevity.
