Have checked some of the body builders BODY MASS INDEX (BMI) which is pretty unhealthy as they are more than 25. Does this mean they are unhealthy??

The BMI is an approximation which gives a ballpark estimate of whether a person has healthy or unhealthy weight. It works ok for an average person, but bodybuilders are in general not average, so their “normal” BMI would be higher. That said, professional bodybuilders definitely do not have a healthy lifestyle, same as other professional athletes.
