When you live at the right weight for your height and build, you feel right. When you’re either overweight or underweight, you can have serious health consequences, including heart problems, changes in metabolism, nutritional imbalances, physical development issues and much more.
Am I at the right weight?
You can check the Body Mass Index table to see if your weight falls within nationally recognized guidelines. If your BMI falls outside the “healthy” range, you may want to consider taking steps to better control your weight. HealthPartners has lots of ways to help! Be sure to follow up with your clinic if you have questions or concerns about your health status. Are you eating the right sized portions? Take this Food Portion Quiz to see.
