BMI- Bad Monthly Income ( Not Hardly)

I am sure many of us would agree that we have a Bad Monthly income, right? We all could use a boost in pay. Well there is another meaning to the letters BMI.

Body mass index or BMI is a statistical measure of the weight of a person scaled according to height. It is meant to be used as a simple means of classifying physically inactive individuals with an average body composition. The BMI is meant to broadly categorize populations for purely statistical purposes.

People short in stature tend to have lower BMI. Therefore they should use a
lower cut-off value for obesity diagnosis. The same applies to older people, whose reduced muscle mass can hide additional body fat without increasing BMI. A frequent use of the BMI is to assess how much an individual's body weight departs from what is normal or desirable for a person of his or her height
. Have you checked your BMI ?

Many of us understand that being overweight can affect our health in a great number of ways. The biggest health risks are heart disease and type II diabetes, and it seems most of us are pretty well aware of the links when it comes to these.

Maintaining a healthy weight is important for protection against obesity related illness and disability. If your weight is currently over the healthy range for your height, losing weight will be beneficial to your health, your looks, and how you feel. Find info about what I used to lower my BMI to a healthy level.

I know that I feel a lot better than I did a couple of years ago. Why even the aches and pains have gone away. We only have one life to live, why not make it a long and enjoyable one. Take control of your health, by starting with your Body Mass Index.
