BMI: what the numbers are and aren’t telling you
BMI stands for Body Mass Index. This number, designed to measure a person’s thickness or thinness, is calculated by the relationship of weight to height. The BMI scale is most accurately applicable to physically inactive groups of people with average body composition. Health care providers use this index as an objective way to approach issues of unhealthy weight with their patients. A BMI below 18 is considered underweight, and a BMI of 30 or more is considered obese. In 2007, the US reported a whopping 63% of adults are overweight to obese.
Because BMI does not take into account muscle weight or bone density, this number is often skewed too low for the older population and those with low muscle mass and skewed too high for athletes who have low body fat and more muscle mass.
The best way to evaluate your “health” is to use a variety of tools: BMI, waist-to-hip ratio, and ratio of lean muscle to body fat.

Healthy Eating Spotlight
We all know that leafy greens are the superstars of the vegetable world but even carrots get top notch ratings largely because they are high in lutein and beta-carotene. Carrots are also a good source of vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin K, biotin, fiber, potassium and thiamine.
Carrots can be boiled, sautéed, baked, braised, roasted, grilled, juiced, or eaten raw. They’ve been shown to prevent cancer and heart disease, reduce the risk of stroke, improve vision and dental health, and nourish the skin while slowing down the aging process. Carrots are naturally sweet and make a great, portable go-to snack. So, “what’s up doc?” Next time you are at the store pick up a bag of baby carrots and munch away!
Balsamic Grilled Carrots (recipe courtesy of simplebites.net)
ingredients:
- 1 pound carrots
- 4 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
method:
- Heat grill to a medium flame.
- Wash carrots and peel, if desired. If your carrots have the fronds still attached, trim to about half an inch, and you’ll have a built-in handle to eat with later.
- Whisk together butter, vinegar, and rosemary. Arrange carrots on the grill (or in grill basket) and brush butter mixture over the carrots.
- Grill for approximately 20 minutes, turning halfway through and applying more of the butter mixture.
- When done, pile into a serving plate and brush on the remaining butter mixture.
