Health is wealth as everybody knows and it is not more so true today than ever in the past. Presently, anybody can witness the growing number of overweight or obese adult persons and even kids.
Though this health condition is not that serious in other countries such as Japan where the Japanese diet is, except the sumo wrestlers where they have to gorge by purpose, it is beginning to be alarming.
There are many factors that we can point our fingers at for the weight problem. One of these is fast food. Greasy and cheesy burgers and sandwiches, crispy fries, glazed donuts, and even a simple cold bottle of beer.
The obesity and being overweight will come with some repercussions that are not nice at all. Diseases such as hypertension, stroke, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes may befall on these persons if no action will be taken to counter the weight soon enough.
Before you take any action, however, it is best to know your Body Mass Index (BMI). The core health authority in the USA has established a standardized table for BMI. To know where you fall in the table, you should know two things first, your weight and your height.
BMI is just one indicator to asses, evaluate and monitor your general health condition. The BMI chart is available online.
