Knowing your BMI, you can tell whether your weight complies with the standard or you have extra weight (or your weight is insufficient).
The BMI is directly related to the health risk; as the BMI increases, the risk also rises.
That is why it is so important to know your Body Mass Index and keep it safe (18,5 - 24,8)
Body Mass Index Formulas:
BMI formula (Metric): BMI = ( Weight in Kilograms / ( Height in Meters ) x ( Height in Meters ))
BMI formula (English): BMI = ( Weight in Pounds / ( Height in inches ) x ( Height in inches )) x 703

So, if you are serious about living a healthy lifestyle - avoid alcohol at all costs.

Exercising is very important for human health and has proven to be a good cure for many well-known deceases.
