Weight Management ? Overview - Australian Popup

Speaking from the health standpoint, a healthy weight is that weight which gives you the best health and the best chance for a long, enjoyable life. To determine this healthy weight, researchers analysed weights and life expectancy of a very large group of people and concluded that for best health and longevity, a person's BMI (body mass index) should be between 18.5 and 25. Working with your body’s natural weight control mechanisms will help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
