What to do about your BMI ?

BMI is a decent indicator of one's weight standard. All people who are classified as obese or overweight should try not to gain additional weight. Also, those who are obese or are overweight with other risk factors should consider losing weight. A complete health assessment by a physician is the best way to decide what is right for you.

REMEMBER !

BMI does not measure body fat. Two people can have the same height, weight and BMI but it does not mean they have the same percentage boy fat. Also remember, BMI is not a diagnostic tool. It is just one of the many risk factors for disease. As a person's BMI increases, the risk for diseases also increases.
