Healthy Eating
A healthy diet is very important for your health. Besides physical exercise, what you eat also affects your weight.
An obese person is at higher risk of suffering from heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, and
cancer. You can find out if you’re overweight by figuring out your Body Mass Index (BMI). Women with a BMI
of 25–29.9 are considered to be overweight. Women with a BMI of more than 30 are considered to be obese and
are putting their health in danger. Ask your doctor how to figure out your BMI.
It isn’t always easy to have a healthy diet. Less healthy foods might be easier to prepare and even taste better. It is
difficult to find time to go shopping for healthy foods and to spend the time to prepare them. But you can make
