Height and weight calculator on health topics
Why a BMI Calculator?
A BMI calculator is a practical and popular choice for a height and weight calculator. It computes the body mass index using the formula:
The result is then categorized (e.g., underweight, normal weight, overweight, or obesity), making it a valuable addition to a blog post, especially for topics like health, fitness, or lifestyle.
Features of the Calculator
- Flexible Units: Users can input height in centimeters (cm), meters (m), inches (in), or feet (ft), and weight in kilograms (kg) or pounds (lbs).
- User-Friendly Interface: Simple input fields, dropdown menus for unit selection, and a clear "Calculate BMI" button.
- Instant Results: Displays the calculated BMI and category (e.g., "Your BMI is 22.5 (normal weight)").
- Validation: Ensures inputs are valid positive numbers.
- Styling: Clean, centered design that integrates well into a Blogger post.
