If you are in the mood for some light but really useful reading, read on. These are some
amazing facts that we never get to hear in everyday life.

1.If you are planning to run, please consider eating some fat because it causes injury if you run without eating fat. |

3.To calculate
if you are fat or obese check your BMI (body mass index): Multiply your weight in pounds by 705. Then divide the result by the
square of your height in inches. Alternatively, divide your weight in kilograms by the square of your height in meters.
If you get below 25, you are fine, 25 and above but below 30 you are fat, if you are above 30, you are obese. |
