READING TIME!

Modifying your eating habits can aid you in managing your weight.
Choosing for more nutritious food can help lessen health risk and improve your
shape and size. Some of the common tips in weight management are including
fruits and vegetables in your meal, reducing intake of sweets, preparing your meal
in a healthier way, and decreasing portion sizes.

Aside from taking note of your eating habits, you should also take note of
your actual weight as an indicator of health risk. This has something to do with
getting your Body Mass Index. It is a rough measure of body composition that is
useful for classifying the health risk of body weight. It is also based on the concept
that a person’s weight should be proportional to height.

BMI is calculated by dividing your body weight (expressed in kilograms) by

square of your height (expressed in meters)

Example:

Weight : 130 pounds (convert into kilos) x 1kg/2.2 pounds =59 kg.
Height: 5 feet and 3 inches (convert to meters) x .0254/inch =1.6 m

Formula:

BMI=wt in kg.= 59 kg.= 23kg/m² Normal 

Ht in m² (1.6m) ²

Classification BMI

Underweight <18.5

Normal 18.5-24.9

Overweight 25.0-29.9
