Fat is one
of the main reason for weight gain.. it is very much necessary to maintain your
body shape and structure in order to maintain your self-confidence. Carrying
around too much weight feels uncomfortable, and it can also damage your health.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), obesity rates
have skyrocketed in the United States in recent years.
As of 2010, more than
one-third of American adults were considered obese, defined as having a body
mass index (BMI) of 30 or higher. Body mass is derived by dividing weight inpounds by height in inches squared, and then multiplying the result by 703
(weight (lb) / [height (in)] 2 x 703). You can calculate your body mass by
following these three steps:
- Multiply your weight in pounds by 703.
- Calculate your height in inches squared.
- Divide the resulting number from step 1 by the resulting number in step 3.
Obesity can
lead to a number of serious health problems, including heart disease, diabetes,
stroke, and some types of cancer.
One method
that can help a person lose weight is to limit the number of calories taken in
through their diet. The other way is to burn extra calories with exercise.
