Control These 6 Body Indicators to Stay Healthy in Old Age (Part 3)


Body Mass Index (BMI)

The standard BMI range for adults is 18.5 ≤ BMI < 24. The BMI is calculated by dividing weight (in kilograms) by the square of height (in meters).

To maintain a healthy weight, it is important to reduce the intake of high-calorie foods, eat more fruits, vegetables, and dietary fiber, avoid sugary drinks, and engage in moderate to high-intensity exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week.

Grip Strength

Grip strength is a key indicator of overall strength and can, to some extent, reflect heart health.

To test your grip strength, try carrying an object weighing about 5 kilograms (such as a 5-kilogram bag of rice) and walk with it. If you feel fatigued after 100 meters, your grip strength may be insufficient and may need to be improved with exercise.

Improving grip strength can be done using small fitness tools like grip rings or hand strengtheners. Regularly using your hands to turn walnuts or metal balls can also help increase grip strength and improve hand dexterity.
