To make sure you're not aiming for an unhealthy or unrealistic goal, you should plug your height and desired weight into a Body Mass Index Calculator, or look on a Body Mass Index Chart. People who were obese but not diabetic were found to have no increased risk of suffering or dying from acute organ failure than those of normal body mass index (BMI). Meanwhile, a study conducted by researchers at the University of Western Australia and Royal Perth Hospital found that 'spending time on the computer or playing video games did not necessarily mean teenagers were more at risk of obesity', while television-watching was only found to increase the risk of a higher body mass index in boys. |
