➡️At some point, you’ll probably have worked out your BMI

❓But this metric doing more harm than good?

📰A large body of research now suggests BMI is an outdated and ineffective way to measure how your weight affects your health

Thread ~👇🧵
telegraph.co.uk/health-fitness…
➡️Many experts argue that BMI is a blunt tool

They say the formula is flawed by the fact it does not distinguish between fat and muscle.

❌This means that on an individual level it can see healthy people misdiagnosed as overweight or obese, and vice versa
In fact, BMI was never intended to be a way to measure a healthy weight.

🧑‍🔬It was invented by a mathematician in the mid-19th century as a way to describe the growth spurts that happen after birth and puberty

❌ “My screams were so loud that my husband tried to find out what room I was in to make it stop" telegraph.co.uk/women/life/one…
🔊 This week, presenter @TVNaga01 spoke out on air about her own intense pain from having an IUD fitted:

“My screams were so loud that my husband tried to find out what room I was in to make it stop"
❌💊 The NHS mentions it can be “uncomfortable” and that “some people might find it painful but you can have a local anaesthetic to help.”

But many women aren't offered any pain relief.

@LucyMazuma's GP told her paracetamol would be enough
