STEP 1-Ultimate Guide for Women

I am for learning all aspects of how I need to behave when it comes to become a healthy eater. I have immersed myself with books and writings that I glean from to make the magic mix of ideas that will be inspirational in my life to be fulfilled and a happy person because of choices that I make.

Prevention put out a book called "The Ultimate Guide for Women's Health and Wellness. There are 10 steps or strategies that will be helpful in making decisions that comes into connection with being healthy. Each day I will add a step.

The FIRST STEP entails: Calculate your Body Mass Index. Without any comment I may have about this step it tells us to:

1) Multiply your weight in pounds by 703.
2) Divide that number you your height in inches.
3) Divide that number again by your height in
inches, and you'll have your BMI.

A BMI of between 18.5 and 25 is considered healthiest. You're considered overweight if your BMI is 25 or over and obese if it's 30 or over.

Don't let your BMI go below 18.5--that's too low because it's unhealthy to be that skinny.

I have known for years that I was overweight though by their scales I was obese. I did the math and I am in the 25 and over group. My BMI is 28.5. I have some work to do.
