What is a Healthy Weight?
A healthy weight is a weight range that reduces the risk of health problems and allows you to feel energetic and fit. It's typically based on Body Mass Index (BMI), height, gender, age, and body frame. Unlike a single "ideal" number, healthy weight is a range that accommodates individual differences.
