Most of us have asked ourselves what's the healthiest weight for me. People have mistakenly related being skinny with being healthy. That is not completely true because your weight has various components such as height, age, and bone structure. It is very important to keep close attention to your weight in order to avoid weight-related diseases such as Coronary Artery Disease, Sleep Apnea, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and strokes.
In order for you to find out whether your weight is healthy or not, you need to know your Body Mass Index (BMI) and that is calculated by using this equation:
BMI = 703 mass (LB) / height² (in²)
Below 19 = Underweight
19-24.9 = Healthy Weight (Low Health Risk)
25-29.9 = Overweight (Moderate Health Risk)
30-40 = Obese (High Health Risk)
Over 40 = Morbid Obesity (Very High Risk)
