Why a Woman’s BMI Matters
A healthy weight is crucial for a woman’s overall well-being at every stage of life.
Body Composition
Women naturally have a higher body fat percentage than men. BMI is a starting point, but it’s not the whole story. A healthy lifestyle helps maintain a good muscle-to-fat ratio.
Hormonal Health & Fertility
Maintaining a **healthy BMI** is vital for regular menstrual cycles and fertility. Conditions like PCOS are often linked to a higher BMI. Weight management is a key part of managing symptoms.
Bone Density & Menopause
Being underweight can increase the risk of osteoporosis. During menopause, maintaining a healthy weight and doing weight-bearing exercises can protect your bone health.
