How much do you weigh? What is a healthy weight? How is your weight impacting on your overall health & life expectancy?
Let’s get an understanding of BMI otherwise known as your Body Mass Index.
Body Mass Index or more commonly, BMI, is one way of checking to see if you are a healthy weight. BMI uses a simple formula of height to weight ratio. BMI is usually measured in kg/m2. Having a BMI of between 18.5 – 25 is considered a healthy weight & your chances of developing a serious illness like cancer, heart disease and diabetes are much lower.
