Knowing your BMI can help you determine if your weight is within the normal range, or if you are overweight (or underweight).

BMI is directly related to health risk; as BMI increases, so does risk.

BMI formula:

BMI formula (metric): BMI = (weight in kilograms / (height in meters) x (height in meters))

BMI formula (in English): BMI = (weight in pounds / (height in inches) x (height in inches)) x 703

So why is avoiding alcohol so important to improving health?

Alcohol has many side effects:

Damage to the heart and central nervous system
Stomach problems

High alcohol risk
and many more.

So, if you're serious about a healthy lifestyle - avoid alcohol at all costs.

Exercise is very important to human health and has been shown to be a good treatment for many known diseases.

How much exercise is enough?

Walk at least 5000 steps per day
Use stairs instead of elevators.
