The pictures above show people with different bodies: normal weight, overweight and obese.  An accurate determination of your current body condition can be found by using the Body Mass Index (BMI) chart shown below based on your weight and height. This chart can also inform you what the normal weight for your body should be.

There are several ways to reduce weight depending on your condition. Daily brisk half hour walks and tracking calories in your daily meals (see Diet page) can help you lose weight. Some supplement pills may also help as they can increase your metabolism. Keep in mind that results are not immediate. Your weight reduction may take a few months. Obesity cases might take longer. Extreme cases may consider surgery procedures as described in the Obesity page.

Additional information that is important to a healthy life is to know your Body Mass Index (BMI). The BMI relates your weight, to your height giving an indication of your body’s fat and water content, along with bone density that might foresee any danger of osteoporosis.  This information gives you clues of how strong your bones are. Weak bones break easily on a fall and with age may cause serious problems to the spine, legs and overall wellness.

To find out your BMI numbers you may go to your family doctor, or do it at home with the help of an analytical scale, like the one shown below, available from this site’s Health Store.

Obesity is an extreme case of overweight estimated to affect one-third the population of the United States, or a total of 100 million people! This causes excess costs to society estimated at about $ 140 BILLION Dollars. Apart from costs in health treatments and medications there are other non-visible expenses such as higher fuel consumption by automobiles and airplanes due to carrying heavier passengers. Would you do your part to reduce these costs? Or better yet, do it to prevent other diseases such as diabetes, which might result in  leg amputation or blindness!

Obesity cases are best treated under the supervision of a bariatric doctor working at a certified clinic or hospital. Sometimes surgery may be required. Click on the Professional Referral button below for a free e-mail consultation.
