Obesity Self-Defense Fayetteville, N.C.

Are you overweight? Would you consider yourself obese? The calculations for determining your Body Mass Index or (BMI) is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared, rounded to one decimal place. Obesity in adults was defined as BMI greater than or equal to 30. Although this does not take into account that muscle weighs more than fat,  most of you know whether yours is muscle or not. Obesity causes a number of health issues such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and many others. A survey taken in 2010, showed that 35.7% of adults were in the obese category. That’s over 78 MILLION PEOPLE. Furthermore, 17% of children ages 2-19 in the U.S. are obese, which is about 12.5 million CHILDREN.
