BODY MASS INDEX (BMI)
Body mass index (BMI) is one way to tell whether you
are at a healthy weight. It measures your weight in
relation to your height, and is closely associated with
measures of body fat. The higher the BMI, the greater
the risk of developing health problems.
BMI is one of the tools that Healthcare providers use
to assess a person's risk of developing diabetes, heart
disease, or other health problems.
Because BMI does not show the difference between fat and muscle,
problems. For example, someone with a lot of muscle (such as a
body builder) may have a BMI in the unhealthy range, but still be
healthy.
BMI also may not accurately reflect body fatness in people who are
under 5 feet (1.5m) or in older people, who tend to lose muscle
mass as they age. But for most people, BMI is a reliable way to tell
if your weight is putting your health at risk.
BMI for Adults
For adults over 20 years old, BMI falls into one of
the following:
BMI Weight Status
Below 18.5 Low
18.5 - 24.9 Normal
25.0 - 29.9 High
30.0 and Above Very High
To determine the BMI that is appropriate for your body,
consult your physician.
What should I do if my BMI
measurement is too high?
If your BMI is between 25 and 30 and you are otherwise
healthy, try to avoid gaining more weight, and look
into healthy ways to lose weight and increase physical
activity. Talk to your health care provider about losing
weight if

Your Healthy Lifestyle
Health and fitness isn’t just about counting calories
and cutting fat out of your diet. It is about a balanced
combination of eating right and exercising: neither dieting
nor exercising alone will give you the kind of results you
get when they are used together. To achieve a healthy
lifestyle, you must set realistic fitness goals and reduce
the number of calories you take in, regardless of whether
they come from foods high in protein, carbohydrates, etc.
When you go on a diet, you may lose weight, but you’ll
also lose beneficial muscle and bone tissue. Instead,
reduce the number of calories you are taking in by eating
more healthful foods, and include exercise in your regular
routine to lose weight faster by burning fat. Exercise
makes you feel better; it helps improve circulation,
