Is your body mass index appropriate for your weight and height?
2008 2009
Calculating your body mass index:
HOW TO DETERMINE YOUR BMI Your BMI estimates how much you should weigh, based
on your height. Here are the steps to calculate it: Multiply your weight in pounds by 703 Divide that answer by your height in inches Divide that answer by your height in inches
again
For example, a man who weighs 170 pounds and is 70 inches (5’ 10”) tall has a BMI of 24.4

Use this chart to see what category you fall into, and whether you need to be concerned about your weight.
BMI CATEGORY
Below 18.5 Underweight
18.5 - 24.9 Healthy
25.0 - 29.9 Overweight
30.0 - 39.9 Obese
Over 40 Morbidly obese
Important notes:
Body builders: Because muscle weighs more than fat, people who are unusually muscular may have a high BMI.
Elderly: For the elderly it is often better to be between 25 and 27, rather than under 25. If you are older than 65, for example, a slightly higher BMI may help protect from osteoporosis.
Children: While an alarming number of children are obese, do not use this BMI calculator for evaluating a child.

Five Quick Tips for Healthy Eating:
Source: Harvard School of Public Health
1. Start with exercise.
2. Focus on food, not grams.
3. Go with plants. (vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and healthy fats like olive and canola oil)
4. Cut way back on American staples. Red meat, refined grains, potatoes, sugary drinks, and salty snacks are part of American culture and also are really unhealthy.
5. Take a multivitamin. Taking a multivitamin can be a good nutrition insurance policy.
