The answer is that this is just one more way of measuring or providing an indicator of your health. It suggests whether you are overweight or not for your body type and height. Many people may feel that they are overweight, however when you take into account their height they are not actually overweight at all. A tall person can handle a great deal more pounds than a shorter person. However, if your body fat index is high compared to muscle, you may still have a problem. Remember this is just one more indicator.<\/p>\n<h3>Why Should I Care About Body Mass Index<\/h3>\n<p>Body mass index is calculated by multiplying your weight by 703 and then dividing this number by your height in inches twice. For example, the writer weighs 194 pounds and is 68 inches high or 5 foot 8 inches. My BMI is 29!<\/p>\n<p>If you are under 25 you are considered to have a\u00a0 healthy weight. Anything over 25 is considered overweight. If you are over 30, then you are obese and if you are under 18.5, you are considered underweight. I certainly do not feel that I am close to being obese, but this is definitely a wake-up call for me.<\/p>\n<p>With a BMI in higher levels, consumers can be susceptible to various health issues. for example, you could suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, diabetes or even varicose veins. These are serious health issues that can cause serious problems.<\/p>\n<p>BMI will not tell you how to lose weight. BMI is just one more indicator that you probably should lose weight. It will come as no surprise that you need to get your BMI level down to a healthy level if you want to avoid the serious health issues mentioned earlier.<\/p>\n<p>For more information about BMI or Body Mass Index, <a href=\"http:\/\/gccihome.com\/travel\/category\/bmi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>click here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"border-radius: 2px; text-indent: 20px; width: auto; padding: 0px 4px 0px 0px; text-align: center; font: bold 11px\/20px 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,sans-serif; color: #ffffff; background: #bd081c no-repeat scroll 3px 50% \/ 14px 14px; position: absolute; opacity: 1; z-index: 8675309; display: none; cursor: pointer; top: 44px; left: 20px;\">Save<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Should I Care About Body Mass Index?
