Height and Weight Chart

Scientists all over the world agree that in order to call somebody healthy, there has to be a correlation between the weight and the height of that person. Moreover, this height and weight chart could include a third parameter which is also important, namely the age. This is where a mistake is frequently done by many persons: trying to lose weight in order to maintain the same ratio they had when they were teenagers. Things don't work that way, and an old body cannot look and feel like a young one. We just have to face it and learn to love our body as it gets older, we have to accept the natural changes that take place and not fight against them in countless weight loss diets and fitness trainings that exhaust our body and spirit.

How to use the height and weight chart

After we decide how we are in rapport with our body weight, there are three situations possible. The first one, in case we are under weight, we need to follow a weight gain nutritional program. There are nutritional schemes called food pyramids which can show us what foods are better in case we want to increase our body weight.
If we are within the normal range, we have to maintain our weight, meaning that we need to balance the calories intake and the exercise, by living an active life and eating as healthy as we can, avoiding saturated fats, refined sugar or deep fried foods. Junk food is not an option for a healthy life.
If we are overweight, we need to start worrying about that soon, in order to avoid health complications such as heart diseases or diabetes.
