What is a Healthy Weight? What are the Dangers of being Overweight?
There are height/weight tables set up that can give you a general idea about what your “ideal” weight should be, however the concept of a ideal weight is misleading. We are all individual and if you eat a well balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains with minimal saturated fats and minimal junk foods your body will seek and maintain its own healthy weight. Being overweight can set you up for increase risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer as well as spinal and joint related problems and arthritis.
