So what can you do if your BMI is high? 1. You should focus on losing weight (and of course if your bodyfat is low, then this step may be skipped). Losing weight will bring down your BMI and could also reduce your overall health risk for many different diseases. 2. Eat Healthy Eating healthy not only improves your weight loss, but could even reduce your risk factors by altering what’s going on inside your body. Eating whole food sources, such as fruits, vegetables, sprouted grain breads, grass-fed lean meat, and wild caught fish – as opposed to processed junk - may end up altering the health of the cells in your body. 3. Exercise Exercise may be able to reduce your BMI and alter your fat-to-muscle ratio. The higher your body fat levels are, may significantly increase your risk factors for chronic diseases. By increasing your lean muscle mass – and decreasing your overall fat mass – you may reduce your chronic disease risk, and look good in the process.
