Overweight and obesity is defined in term of Body Mass Index (BMI).
BMI is a mathematical equation in which body weight of a person (in kilogram) is divided by square of the person's height (in meters).
The BMI is more highly related with body fat than any other mathematical ratio of weight and height.
However, sport men and women and individuals with a high percentage of body muscle may have a Body Mass Index in the overweight range because of the higher concentration of muscle compared to fat.
1. A BMI of 18 to 25 is taken normal weight. A person with a BMI of 25 to 29.9 is taken overweight, and individual with a BMI of 30 or higher is considered obese.
2. Overweight is increased weight in correlation to height.
3. Obesity is an excessively high amount of body fat in correlation to lean body mass.

Write commentsUnfortunately there are a lot of AIDS/Herpes denials on Herbal cures still out there. I did research on them after I was tested HIV/Herpes positive I was so worried am I going to die soon. I continue my search again on herbal remedy for Std, then I found lots of testimony on how Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cured HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus,Copd, Hepatitis, Diabetes, On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr Itua As a man with Good Heart, I pick interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instruct me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I receive His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 days I go for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids&Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement the same few doctors and they represent a very small faction of the community. I could have died because I refused Natural Herbs Cures for so long, but luckily, by the grace of God I am alive to tell my story.
