To measure your waist accurately:
- Find the bottom of your ribs and the top of your hips.
- Place a tape measure around your waist at the midpoint between these two points, which is usually just above your belly button.
- Make sure the tape measure is horizontal all the way around your body and snug but not tight enough to dig into your skin.
- Breathe out naturally and take the measurement.
- Measure more than once to confirm accuracy.
This method helps give a reliable waist measurement, which can be important for health assessments related to abdominal fat and disease risk.
