How do you calculate BMI with height and weight?
I don't think it's any surprise to anyone that our major public health problem right now in America is obesity.
Two-thirds of us are either overweight or obese. And we really have lost a sense of what's an appropriate weight. So this is an area where it's important to know your numbers and understand the concept called body mass index. You need to know your height, and you need to know your weight. And the body mass index calculator, which is available on the web everywhere can help scale your weight to your height to tell you whether it's appropriate. An appropriate weight is a body mass index of less than 25, so that's what you should be shooting for. If right now it's a little over 25, this is an area where a small change can make a big difference. Even losing as little as 10 pounds (4.54 kg) can have dramatic effects, helping lower your blood pressure and lowering your risk for diabetes. What's really important after you lose the weight though is making sure that you keep it off. And a lot of strategies can help. Physical activity is a very important part of the equation. And so is just reducing the amount of food that you eat every day. Take smaller plates and be smarter about the kinds of things you're putting on your plate.
