Nutrition and Supplements - Weight to Height Charts for Men and Women

Weight to Height Charts for Men and Women
By: Renee Kennedy

Frame size

In order to determine if you are overweight, underweight or just right,
you will first need to know your frame size. Frame sizes come in three
different categories: small, medium,
and large. To determine your frame size:

Measure your elbow breadth:

Put your arm straight out in front of you, bend your arm at the
elbow with your fingers pointing straight up. (Your arm should be
at a 90 degree angle to your body.)
Turn your wrist so that the palm of your hand is facing your
body. (You should be able to see your palm.)
Put your thumb and fore finger on the two bones on the
outside of your elbow. Measure this distance in inches.

Weight to Height Charts

The following information in these weight to height
charts is from The Metropolitan Life Insurance Company (1983 statistics).
These charts are widely used by experts in the medical field.
However, other experts criticize these statistics based on
the fact that the participants in the study were primarily white, middle class people.
Also, the validity of the statistics is questionable due to inconsistent research
methods.

If you do decide to use these tables, use them
with a little common sense - every person is different and weight is greatly
affected by age, musculature, mobility, metabolism and a host of other
factors. (These charts look like they are for young, energetic, active individuals.)

On a more positive note, these charts make for excellent printing on
an 8x11 sheet of paper!

How to Benefit from the Mind-Body Connection (excerpt)

You are about to gain insight into the mind-body connection. The number of
people who truly understand these principles on our planet are relatively few.
There is an undeniable connection between our minds and bodies, you can learn to use this fact to your benefit.

Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of "Love, Medicine and Miracles" was once a distraught cancer surgeon until he began to understand the greater principles of the mind- body connection. He felt dragged down by the artificial barriers that existed between patient and doctor, and the helplessness he often felt as a result of his inability to effectively serve those patients. Eventually, those barriers were disintegrated by Dr. Siegel's recognition and growing understanding of the mind-body connection and how it could serve his patients and himself.

Dr. Siegel, or Bernie as he began to have his patients refer to him, had some
startling realizations as a cancer surgeon. He found that there were actually
quite a few people in the world that successfully beat the statistics on cancer
survival. He began to recognize that a patient's ability to defeat something as
serious as cancer had to do with the patient's mind and attitude about their
disease.
