One way to find out if we are properly nourished is to calculate what nutrition scientists call it
BMI. This is easy to calculate. Let each student in the class find out his or her weight and
height. Take the weight of each student in kilograms (kg). Then, take the height by drawing up a
scale on the wall and measuring accurately with the head straight. Convert the height recorded
in centimeters into meters. Divide the weight in kg by the square of the height. The number you
get is called BMI. Then, look at the BMI-for-Age tables given on pages 90-91. A student's BMI
could be within the normal range or less than that (underweight) or more (obesity). For
example, if a girl student is 14 years and 8 month old and the BMI is 15.2, then she is
undernourished. Similarly, if the BMI of a boy aged 15 years and 6 months is 28, then he is
overweight. Discuss the life situation, food and exercise habits of students, in general, without
body shaming anyone.
