What’s Wrong With BMI – Sanjay Gupta – Everyday HealthOne out of three American adults is obese, and childhood obesity has more than doubled in the past 30 years. It’s an epidemic with very serious health risks, from heart disease to diabetes to cancer. It’s also taking an incredible financial toll: Studies have put the national healthcare cost of obesity at over $190 billion a year.Behind these staggering figures are measurement tools that the medical community uses to determine who is at risk.

To get some perspective on what proper nutrition and diet can mean for your health, think of your body as an engine — a machine. The higher the octane of the fuel you put into it, the better it’s going to run. Now consider what might happen to your internal machinery after ten years of fueling up on double burgers, fries, and milkshakes: painfully slow blood flow, and hardened arteries. Not pretty.
Here’s the good news: By changing your diet and starting to eat right, you can increase your chances for enjoying a longer life. Here’s how to start:
