Use the chart below to find your BMI:
If your BMI is high, you may have an increased risk of developing certain diseases
including:
-high blood pressure
-heart disease
-high cholesterol and blood lipids (LDL)
-Type 2 Diabetes
-sleep apnea
-osteoarthritis
-female infertility
-gastroesophageal reflux (GERD)
I also know that health insurance uses this chart to determine if you are in a healthy range. With the changes, you could be paying double or even triple the price of your insurance if you are not in the normal range. {article} This is going to be our future, so it is important that we make healthy choices for ourselves.
But most importantly, do it for youself.....your children.....your grand children. If we will choose to lose.....we will be on our way to a healthier lifestyle and a longer life!
