BMI

How many of you take the sin of gluttony seriously? If people would get their BMIs in a healthy range, that along with some other healthy habits would go a long way towards cutting down costs of health care.

my doctor tells me:

a healthy (best longevity) BMI for women is 22-23,

and a healthy (best longevity) BMI for men is 24-25.

for people who train hard with weights, the BMI can be a little higher.

Re: BMI

Naw, the only sin one can commit against their body is smoking or drinking. Go and eat all you want! You don't even need to exercise. You can even joke about it from the pulpit!

Re: BMI

by Doug Collins Obesity is an epidemic!

We’ve all seen the statistics about the global obesity situation. The alarm bells have been sounded and we are told this global epidemic is going to get worse before it ever gets better.

Lets take a look at the situation and facts

According to World Health Organization (WHO) there are approximately 1.6 billion overweight or obese people in the world; as compared to a total population of 6.8 billion globally. The WHO has projected that by 2015, almost 2.3 billion adults will be overweight and more than 700 million will be obese.

The latest statistics in the USA show that Obesity rates have reached epidemic levels with 58 million being overweight; 40 million considered obese; and 3 million morbidly obese. This means that eight out of ten people over the age of 25 are overweight.

It is also estimated that in the USA alone more than $30 billion a year is spent on weight loss products and diet programs, with one in three adults reportedly trying to trim pounds. But despite all this effort the statistics is indicating that the obesity numbers continue to rise.

Re: BMI

both my sister and myself needed to lose weight when we were in our sleeves down to the wrists, dresses down to the ankles, hair down to the knees stage in life.

now we both run, swim, lift weights, walk on the beach, and have a much healthier lifestyles.
