Proper Weight

Even a little extra weight puts additional strain on your bones, joints, feet and circulatory system. How much should you weigh? The ideal body weight is one that gives you the greatest life span, health and vitality.

A helpful way of computing your ideal weight is to use a formula called the Body Mass Index. It’s really quite easy. Take your current weight in kilograms and divide by your height in meters squared. Use the charts below to complete the simple formula:

Weight in kilograms ____ divided by height in meters squared ____ = ______

While longevity is a constellation of many factors, those with the longest life spans have a Body Mass Index in the 19-to-25 range.

However, this formula doesn’t work if you’re younger than 18, a competitive athlete or bodybuilder, pregnant or nursing a baby, or elderly living a sedentary lifestyle.

Use these charts to calculate your Body Mass Index:

What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
How could chiropractic help a stomach problem?
Chiropractic works by locating and reducing areas of the spine compromising nerve communications between your brain and your body. If nerves to or from your stomach are irritated, your stomach won't work right. Chiropractors find the source of the interference, reduce it and allow your body to work as designed.
