How to prevent
- Weight management: keep body mass index (BMI) below 25 kg/m2
BMI = weight in kilograms
(height in meters)2
BMI of a person weighing 52kg and 1.63m tall = 52/1.63*1.63= 52/2.66 = 19.55
- Reduce abdominal fat: Abdominal exercise such as curls ups after 20minutes of aerobic exercise will reduce abdominal fat and further strengthen abdominal muscles giving a good shape.
