Waist-to-height ratio

Okay kiddo, so imagine you have a piece of string. One end of the string is tied around your belly button and the other end is tied around the top of your head. Now, we want to see if you have a healthy size waist for your height.

Firstly, let's talk about your waist. Your waist is the thinnest part of your tummy where your body naturally curves inwards. We want to measure how big your waist is compared to your height.

So, we take the string and wrap it around your waist. If the two ends of the string meet, that's the measurement of your waist.

Now, we look at your height. Your height is how tall you are from the top of your head to the bottom of your feet. We want to make sure that your waist size is healthy for your height.

If your waist measurement is less than half your height, that's a good sign! It means your waist is a healthy size for your height. But if your waist measurement is more than half your height, it's a sign that you may need to make some healthy lifestyle changes to reduce your risk of health problems.

That's why waist-to-height ratio is important - it helps us see if you have a healthy size waist for your height, which is important for your overall health and wellbeing.

So, remember to keep yourself healthy by measuring your waist-to-height ratio!
