00:09Alright, today we are going to talk about,
00:12Weight isn't everything, key health metrics to monitor.
00:15Today, we'll look at key health numbers beyond your weight.
00:17These metrics give you a better picture of your overall health.
00:211. BMI
00:22BMI estimates if your weight is healthy based on your height, but it's not always accurate.
00:27Factors like muscle mass and body type can affect it.
00:29Instead of just focusing on weight, consider other health metrics.
00:332. Waist Size
00:34Measure your waist around your middle. If it's over 40 inches, 35 for women,
00:38it could indicate excess fat around vital organs,
00:41raising risks for heart disease, diabetes, and more.
00:443. Blood Pressure
00:45Aim for below 120 per 80. High blood pressure,
00:49130 per 80 or above, can harm your heart and other organs, often without symptoms.
00:544. Blood Sugar
00:55Healthy levels are under 100 mg per deciliter before eating and below 140 mg per deciliter
01:01after meals. High blood sugar can damage your heart, blood vessels, and kidneys over time.
01:06Regular exercise and a balanced diet help manage it.
01:095. Lipid Profile
01:11This checks your cholesterol and triglycerides. Ideal levels are total cholesterol under 200
01:16mg per deciliter, HDL above 60 mg per deciliter, and triglycerides under 150 mg per deciliter.
01:23Healthy levels reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.
01:266. Exercise
01:28Get at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise, like brisk walking, 5 days a week.
01:32Include muscle-strengthening activities twice weekly.
01:35Regular exercise helps you stay fit and burn more calories.
01:387. Seat Time
01:40Sitting all day slows your metabolism and can cause stiffness.
01:43Stand up and move every 30 minutes to stay active and maintain the benefits of your workouts.
01:488. Steps
01:49Aim for about 10,000 steps daily, but find a number that works for you.
01:53Track your activity with a fitness tracker or app to help you stay motivated.
01:589. Sleep
01:59Adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep per night. Good sleep helps your body repair and process
02:03information, and it prevents hunger and cravings for unhealthy foods.
02:0710. Screen Time
02:09Limit non-work-related screen time to 2 hours daily.
02:12Excessive screen time can cause issues like text neck, back pain, and disrupted sleep.
02:1611. Water
02:18Stay hydrated by drinking water regularly.
02:20Have a glass with and between meals, and drink more in hot weather or during exercise.
02:2512. Fruit Intake
02:26Eat half to two cups of fruit daily.
02:28Fruits provide essential nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and fiber.
02:3213. Vegetable Intake
02:34Consume 2 to 3 cups of veggies each day.
02:37Include a variety of colors and types for a range of nutrients.
02:4014. Alcohol
02:42Moderate your drinking to one drink a day for women and two for men.
02:45Excessive drinking can harm your liver, kidneys, and heart.
02:4815. Cigarettes
02:50Avoid smoking entirely.
02:52Even light smoking can lead to serious health problems.
02:54Remember, health is more than just weight.
02:57Keeping track of these vital numbers can help you stay on top of your overall well-being.
