Fit at any size
Healthy people come in all shapes and sizes: tall or short, stocky or lanky.
For this reason, there is no such thing as a “perfect body,” or an ideal body weight, shape or size that everyone should strive for. The most important thing is being healthy, so you can enjoy life with the body you have.
Regardless of your size and shape, you can live a healthful lifestyle to reduce your risk of health problems:
- Assess your health habits.
- Eat healthfully.
- Get plenty of physical activity.
- Get regular physical checkups.
- Monitor your “numbers” (blood pressure, cholesterol, triglycerides, blood sugar) and keep them in a healthy range.
- Meet with a registered dietitian to determine your personal, attainable healthy weight goal and ways you can meet that goal.
