Weight Management

Concerns about the levels of obesity in the UK are growing. Currently, as much as 50% of men and 33% of women are overweight with as many as 20% of men and 24% of women classed as obese (data from Leatherhead Food International Ltd.). It is predicted that if the weight gaining trend continues, by the year 2010 more than 1 in 4 adults will be obese. 

Obesity has many negative implications on health and fitness. Conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and even stress are adversely affected by body weight and % body fat content. It is therefore important to maintain appropriate weight and life time leanness. Eating a healthy balanced diet, rich in fresh fruits and vegetables and exercising regularly can help to achieve and maintain healthy weight and a trim figure.
 
However, it is important to note that being underweight is equally undesirable as it can lead to frailty, hormonal imbalance, weakness and overall poor health.
 
Body weight should be maintained within the range considered to be normal for individual height. Other factors for consideration are gender and age.

Height and Weight Range
 
156 cm: 50 – 64 kg
162 cm: 51 – 66 kg
168 cm: 52 – 70 kg
172 cm: 55 – 75 kg
176 kg: 58 – 77 kg
182 cm: 60 – 83 kg
186 cm: 64 – 85 kg
 
Weight awareness and weight monitoring should become part of regular health routine. Sudden or unexplained weight change should warrant a check up visit to a medical professional to exclude more serious underlying health conditions. When necessary, changes in lifestyle (i.e. diet and exercise) should be considered in order to maintain body weight within the normal range.
 
Body weight can be easily measured by weighing on personal scales. Personal scales measure total body weight. Weight of bones, organs, muscles, fluids and fats all contribute to the total body weight.

Personal weight and height can be converted into Body Mass Index (BMI) that provides a better indicator of personal weight status. BMI can be easily calculated by dividing weight in kilograms by the square of height in metres. BMI under 20 indicates underweight, BMI in excess of 25 signals overweight and BMI over 30 is obesity.
 
In recent times, not only weight, but also body fat measurements began to play an increasingly important role in the overall health assessment. Too much body fat can lead to health problems and serious chronic illnesses. However, fat is also amongst the body's most pivotal components. Fat regulates body temperature, insulates and cushions organs and serves as a source and storage of energy.

Assessment of body fat provides a truer picture of overall health and fitness. The measurement is usually expressed as a percentage of fat that is present in the total body weight. There are a several different ways to measure the fat content. The most convenient and fastest way to monitor your body fat is to use diagnostic scales.

Interesting body fat facts:

• Men on average have less body fat than women
• Percentage body fat in both men and women increases with age
• Healthy % fat range for men is between 19 - 25%
• Healthy % fat range for women is between 33 - 36%.

Remember that to be healthy, you should eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly. Maintaining your weight at recommended level will help you to stay fit and feel and look well.
