Before Putting on Autumn Weight at the Autumn Equinox, Calculate First: Your BMI Might Be Sweeter Than Mid-Autumn Mooncakes
Before putting on autumn weight at the Autumn Equinox, take a minute to calculate your BMI. Weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared; a result between 18.5 and 24 is normal, over 24 needs attention, and over 28 should be taken seriously. In autumn your appetite is good, mooncakes and crabs take turns showing up, and before you know it, you've got a little belly. Calculating BMI isn't to make you feel bad, but to give you a sense of where you stand, so you can have some moderation when eating. If it's normal, don't indulge; if it's high, don't be anxious. Eat a little less and walk a little more, and that's better than anything.
