MABLETON, Georgia – March 26, 2013 – My Health Management, a company that focuses on health management and nutrition, is helping combat recently released statistics that show sixty percent of America is clinically obese. These statistics from Eric Braverman, MD, co-author of a study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, underline a serious problem in our country, especially in those states ranked highest in obesity.

According to My Health Management, Mississippi had the highest obesity rates in the country at 34 percent. Body Mass Index was used to measure weight throughout the country, determining a person's body weight as it correlates to height. Several calculators are available online to help someone easily determine his or her BMI. A normal BMI ranges from 18.5 to 24.9. For someone whose BMI falls within the 25 to 29.9 range, the diagnosis is merely overweight.

Clinical obesity can lead to a range of health problems, according to My Health Management. Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and coronary artery disease are just a few of the health conditions that can result from carrying around extra weight. These health risks diminish considerably as someone loses weight. A healthy BMI can also lead to an increase in energy, which can help keep someone active for many years.

My Health Management provides unique health and weight loss products that can help someone reduce BMI numbers. The site provides a wide range of snacks, meals, and beverages that are both low-calorie and great-tasting. Clients can choose to have weeks of meals planned in advance, leaving the calorie-counting to the experts.

While obesity is a health issue for many American adults, experts predict the problem will continue to escalate.

Balancing weight loss with healthy eating can also prove challenging to many people.
