Body Mass Index (BMI) is a superior way to measure health than body composition. True or False?

Health
1 answer:
elena-s [515]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Body Mass Index is not a superior way to measure a person's health because<u> it doesn't actually measure the amount of fat in the body.</u> For example, a person with a high BMI doesn't necessarily mean that his body composition is mostly made up of fat. It could be that he's muscular that's why his BMI is high (just like the healthy athletes).

On the other hand, "body composition" (like body fat percentage) is a more reliable measure of one's health because<em> it tells you exactly what your body is made of or composed of. </em>If a person has high fat percentage, then he's more likely to get certain types of diseases.

How to approach a girl<br><br> Why dont women approach men first
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer: You should never hinder your chances and opportunities by thinking you are too good to approach a man or assume that he knows you are attracted to him.  Men definitely appreciate it when a woman makes the first advance, and I don't know one guy who has ever complained or made a girl feel bad about approaching him.

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: False

Explanation:

When there is any dangerous situation or someone is frightened, then the flight and fight system of the body gets activated.

At chemical level the body releases  a series of hormones which makes a person alert of the situation. Rather, the respiratory rate, heartbeat, perspiration also increases in the body.

Adrenaline is the hormone responsible for keeping the person alive and alert at this time and to help the body run out of the situation.

The fat and sugar makes our brochi open wider which increases the heart beat and breathing.

Normally the heart beat or heart rate is controlled by the parasympathetic and  sympathetic nervous system of the body. The sympathetic nervous system controls the fight and flight part and the sympathetic nervous system controls the rest and digest part of the body.

So, it is the sympathetic nervous system which controls the heart beat of the body at the time of flight or fight, not the homeostasis.
