We have to educate others on the vital importance of maintaining a healthy height/weight ratio. Height/weight ratio,also refered to as BMI (BODY MASS INDEX). There are several charts available on the internet for to plot your BMI. A BMI of 29 or less is what your target should be.

Being overweight(BMI 30-33)or obese (BMI 34+) can cause dangerous health problems that can and will impede your quality of life and life span. Ask yourself some simple questions:

Do you want a life free from the financial worries of increasing healthcare cost? Do you want to live longer and without the worries of dependent care? Do you want to eventually retire and have a hassle free retirement and enjoy the things you always dreamed of?

Negative emotions have been a conmmon denominator that I have seen throughout my professional career that lends itself to self defeat.

Research has shown that people are living longer, but with more serious preventable illnesses. Do you want to be one of these statistics?
