Body Mass Index

Breakfast is a very important meal, as it is your body's first chance to produce energy after a night of sleep. If you skip breakfast, you may encounter irritability or low levels of concentration due to hunger. If you skip breakfast regularly, your body will adapt by slowing down metabolism in order to preserve energy throughout the morning.

Use your BMI or Body Mass Index. The equation is:

BMI = 704 x weight (in lbs)/height in inches squared

So, that's BMI = 704 times your weight in pounds, divided by your height in inches squared

A healthy number is between 19 and 25.

Fat hangs and wobbles. Muscle is tight and hard. You can get a BMI chart from either your doctor or on line. It will ask you a few numbers about yourself and you got to divide and multiply and you will come out with your BODY MASS INDEX which measures the percentage of fat on your body.

According to the American Council on Exercise, between 10 to 13 percent body fat is essential for women. Other classifications include athletic, or 14 to 20 percent; fitness, 21 to 24 percent; and average, 25 to 31 percent. Essential fat is the bare minimum needed for bodily function.

A BMI of over 30 is considered obese. 27.4 is considered to be extremely overweight.

Obesity is a medical condition which means that you have too much fat and it greatly affects your health. "A person has traditionally been considered to be obese if they are more than 20 percent over their ideal weight. That ideal weight must take into account the person's height, age, gender, and build, [1][" says Obesity and overweight have become a global problem in the last decade. 1 in 3 children are overweight or obese in the United States, and 64% of adults are overweight and 26% are obese. Kids and adults are spending less time outdoors and more time indoors watching television, playing on the computer and playing video games. Busy families today don't have enough time to cook nutritious, home-made meals. People also become obese because it runs in their families. If these bad habits aren't changed, 75% of adults will be overweight and 41% obese by 2015. The next few paragraphs will inform you about why people become obese, negative effects of being overweight or obese and defining overweight.

Obesity tends to run in families. Some people genetically gain weight more easily than others because they burn calories slower, but it's not all genetics. Children become obese because their parents never teach them how to eat properly. For example, if a child's parents' eat potato chips and soda twice a day and never exercised, the parents would become accustomed to it. It would become their schedule. So, when they would have children, they would keep eating soda and potato chips twice a day without exercising to burn off all the extra calories. Their children would pass it down to their children, and it would just keep going on. Eating soda and chips twice a day is not healthy, especially without exercising to burn off the calories. Their entire family would have a lifestyle that could lead up to obesity, diseases, diabetes and a shorter life expectancy. Many people cannot afford the healthy, whole-grain, non-processed, organic food because it is very expensive. Processed , sugary foods are unhealthy, but cheaper. Although genetics strongly influence body type and size, the environment that you live in plays a large part. Today, people gain weight because of unhealthy food choices, family habits(like eating in front of the television instead of around a table) and lack of exercise. "High-calorie, low-nutrient snacks and beverages, bigger portions of food and less-active life style are all contributing to the obesity epidemic," states kidshealth.org.

There are many negative effects of being obese. Studies found that obesity currently lowers life expectancy by in between four to nine months. Some predict that in the next 50 years life expectancies may drop from two to five years, even with all the medical technology and knowledge. Obesity also causes heart disease, cancer, strokes, and type 2 diabetes. 85% of people that have diabetes are overweight. Obese and overweight teenagers have a difficult time finding nice clothes. Most obese and overweight people deal with low self esteem. Not all people who are overweight struggle with low self esteem, some people are quite confident and happy, but people often tease them because of their size.

Hopefully it helps! Try exercising daily!

For those who use metric units:
To figure out your BMI, take your weight (in kilograms) and divide it by your height (in meters). Now take that number and divide it by your height again. Now you have your BMI!


In a formula: BMI = weight (kg) / height^2(m)


For those who use imperial units:
To figure out your BMI, take your weight (in pounds) and divide it by your height (in inches). Now take that number and divide it by your height again. Once you have that answer, multiply that by 705, and you have your BMI!


In a formula: BMI = 705 * weight (lb) / height^2 (in)
