Know Your BMI

Is your weight putting your health at risk?  Knowing your BMI can help you find out.  It is just as important a number to know as your blood pressure and cholesterol.  BMI is an acronym for BODY MASS INDEX, an indicator of body fatness for most people.  You can calculate your BMI quickly and easily by looking at the chart on the link below.

If your BMI is 25 or higher, you could be at risk for developing heart disease, type 2 diabetes, certain types of cancer, and other diseases.  The good news is that you don't need to lose a lot of weight to improve your health.  Just taking off 5-10% of your body weight can make a big difference.
