Overweight and obesity, when to worry?

Most Europeans know that obesity is a health risk, however, that not many know that this risk also exists with boxes overweight. However, the best or worst health also depends on other factors such as sedentary lifestyle, smoking and alcohol as well as food.http://texterio.com/story.php?title=kyle-leon-customized-fat-loss-3
 Anyway, worth remembering when the weight gain should be of concern. The easiest and most effective way to know whether we are overweight is through the calculation of body mass index (BMI), calculated simply, well, the waist circumference can give a clear pattern of how cardiovascular risk there. Both methods are endorsed by WHO, the American Heart Association, among other official medical institutions. To calculate the first, the IMC , you must do the following account: divide the kilos you weigh between our height, expressed in meters squared (ie, multiplied by itself). You weigh 55 kilos suppose and measured 1.65 meters, xpresada in formula would be: 55 / 1,65 squared. However, it is clear that this calculation does not apply to people with a lower height to 1.47 meters or 1.98 m, to age 18 or for elite athletes (whose muscle mass is much greater than that of normal) person. Now to find the waist circumference should be measured only the abdomen with tape parallel to the floor and the height of our iliac crests.http://bookmarkingbase.com/story.php?title=kyle-leon-customized-fat-loss-5
 The tape should be snug but not compressing the skin, and the measurement is carried out while breathing normally. Well, if the waist circumference is greater than 88 inches in women or 102 for men , this is a cardiovascular risk, so that more attention to food and lifestyle will be paid in general. As for BMI , we must check that the given number is between 18.5 and 25 points . If greater than 25, you also need to start diet and exercise to lose weight. http://movies-masala.com/story.php?title=kyle-leon-customized-fat-loss-program
 Now if the value is greater than 30 we have a person with obesity, so it will be almost a duty and, from the point of view of health, losing weight and visiting a specialist. We will have to adopt a healthy lifestyle with a reduced calorie diet with increased intake of vegetables, fruits and plant foods and physical activity.
