"Doctor, am I fat?" a patient asked. On another occasion, a particular patient was worried that he may be too thin. In the medical school, the physiology class will always assert that the physiological man weighs 70kg. When stated like this, those of us below 70kg or above will think we are underweight or otherwise. This is elementary, and not exactly correct. Everyone has an ideal body weight. This is a weight that for your sex and height poses no threat of any type to your health.
How do you calculate your ideal body weight? You can do this yourself. You do not need to be a medical student, doctor or physiology student to do this. You can do this right there in your homes.
YOUR IDEAL BODY WEIGHT= 22.5 times ( Height in meters)squared. This the formula for
calculating the ideal body weight in a MALE. In a woman, multiply the result obtained above by 0.94. For example, if a certain man's height is 1.7meters, his ideal body weight is 22.5 multiply 1.7 multiply 1.7 equals approximately 65kg. If our man in the example were a woman, multiply 65kg by 0.94 to get 61 kg. Go ahead now to check your ideal body weight and that of your spouses and loved ones.
INTERPRETATION : If you weigh yourself and your weight is more than your ideal body weight by more than 10%, you are overweight; but if more than by more than 20% , you are obese. From the above, are you obese? If yes, do not worry,the solution is at : http://mc87champ.fatsecret.hop.clickbank.net
