Inkomba yesisindo somzimba

Indlela enhle yokunquma ukuthi isisindo sakho siphilile yini ukuphakama kwakho ukuthola inkomba yomzimba wakho (BMI). Wena nomhlinzeki wakho wokunakekelwa kwezempilo ningasebenzisa i-BMI yakho ukulinganisa ukuthi unamafutha omzimba angakanani.

Ukukhuluphala ngokweqile kubeka ubunzima enhliziyweni yakho futhi kungaholela ezinkingeni ezinkulu zempilo. Lokhu kufaka phakathi:

• Isifo samathambo emadolweni nasezinqeni
• Isifo senhliziyo
• Umfutho wegazi ophezulu
• I-apnea yokulala
• Thayipha 2 sikashukela
• Imithambo ye-Varicose

INDLELA YOKUNQUMA I-BMI YAKHO

I-BMI yakho ilinganisela ukuthi kufanele ulinganise kangakanani ngokuya ngobude bakho.

Kunamawebhusayithi amaningi anama-calculator anika i-BMI yakho lapho ufaka isisindo sakho nokuphakama.

Ungazibala ngokwakho:

• Phindaphinda isisindo sakho ngamakhilogremu ngo-703.
• Hlukanisa leyo mpendulo ngokuphakama kwakho ngamasentimitha.
• Hlukanisa leyo mpendulo ngokuphakama kwakho ngamasentimitha futhi.

Isibonelo, owesifazane onesisindo esingamakhilogremu angama-270 (122 kilograms) futhi ongamasentimitha angama-68 (172 centimeters) ubude une-BMI engu-41.0.

Sebenzisa ishadi elingezansi ukuze ubone ukuthi i-BMI yakho ingena kusiphi isigaba, nokuthi udinga ukukhathazeka ngesisindo sakho.

I-BMI akuyona njalo indlela engcono yokunquma ukuthi ngabe udinga ukwehlisa isisindo. Uma unesisipha esingaphansi noma esivamile kunokujwayelekile, i-BMI yakho kungenzeka ingabi isilinganiso esiphelele samafutha omzimba onawo:

• Abakhi bomzimba. Ngoba imisipha inesisindo esingaphezu kwamafutha, abantu abanemisipha eminingi bangaba ne-BMI ephezulu.
• Abantu abadala. Kubantu abadala abadala kuvame ukuba ngcono ukuba ne-BMI ephakathi kuka-25 no-27, kunokuba ngaphansi kuka-25. Isibonelo, uma uneminyaka engaphezu kwengama-65 ubudala, i-BMI ephakeme kancane ingakusiza ekuvikeleni ekunciphiseni kwamathambo (i-osteoporosis).
• Izingane. Ngenkathi izingane eziningi zikhuluphele, UNGAYisebenzisi umshini wokubala we-BMI ukuhlola ingane. Khuluma nomhlinzeki wengane yakho ngesisindo esifanele seminyaka yengane yakho.

Abahlinzeki basebenzisa izindlela ezimbalwa ukunquma ukuthi ukhuluphele ngokweqile. Umhlinzeki wakho futhi angacabangela ubude bakho bokhalo kanye nenani lesinqe ukuya okhalweni.

I-BMI yakho iyodwa ayikwazi ukubikezela ingozi yakho yezempilo, kodwa ochwepheshe abaningi bathi i-BMI enkulu kunama-30 (ukukhuluphala) ayinampilo. Akunandaba ukuthi iyiphi i-BMI yakho, ukuzivocavoca umzimba kungasiza ekunciphiseni ubungozi bokuhlaselwa yisifo senhliziyo nesifo sikashukela. Khumbula ukukhuluma nomhlinzeki wakho njalo ngaphambi kokuqala uhlelo lokuzivocavoca.

• Ngemuva kokuhlinzwa kwesisindo - yini ongayibuza udokotela wakho
• Ngaphambi kokuhlinzwa kwesisindo - yini okufanele ubuze udokotela wakho
• Ukuhlinzwa kokudlula esiswini - ukukhipha
• I-laparoscopic gastric banding - ukukhipha

• Ibala usayizi wohlaka lomzimba
