Staying healthy is probably the most important thing we can do. If you don’t have your health, you can’t really enjoy life. It’s that simple. And one of the biggest causes of disease is obesity, that is, being extremely overweight. This is especially a problem in developed countries, where people simply eat and drink too much. They are also too sedentary, meaning that they don’t move around enough. In fact, obesity sends more people to the doctor than smoking!
So maybe you are not obese, but are you overweight? Simply being overweight increases your risk of diseases like stroke, high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. One of the easiest ways to find out if you are overweight or not is to measure your Body Mass Index, or BMI. It’s really easy to do. You just use your height, weight, age, and gender for a simple calculation. For most people a healthy BMI is between 18 and 25. Above 25 is when you start to enter the danger zone of being overweight.
You can check your BMI right now, by using an online BMI calculator. And if you are overweight, the cure is simple: drink plenty of water, get plenty of sleep, eat healthy foods, and get moderate exercise. If you do these things, you probably won’t be overweight and can enjoy a balanced, healthy life.
