Six Pack Abs--A Sign of Good Health?

O.K. so you have killer six pack abs. Does this mean that you are healthy? A great outside appearance does not necessarily mean that you are healthy on the inside.

Weight as a measurement could also be deceiving. Usually, weight does give a pretty reliable indication if a person is healthy or not. Doctors use body mass index or BMI to measure or judge a person’s size against weight. BMI is a calculation of kilograms/meter squared. A BMI between 18 to 25 is healthy. But someone who is very fit and muscular could have a BMI greater than 25. This would classify them as overweight.

Body shape can also be an indicator of good health. Doctors are looking at waist measurements because they know that “apple-shape” people carry excess weight around their middle. These people can be at risk of obesity-related conditions such as heart disease. Be sure to measure your waistline. If your waistline is larger than 35 inches, you are at an increased risk of health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Paying attention to your waistline helps you to avoid unhealthy eating and increase mobility or exercise.

Other health indicators would be the skin. Tan, freckles or moles that are odd shaped or growing, this probably mean an unhealthy skin. Tanning or sun exposure an age the skin and increase the risk of skin cancer. Use sunscreen and get a dermatologist opinion about spots and moles.

As you can see, it looks really great to have six pack abs, but it is also very important to look at your overall health to determine how healthy you are. Your body is a total chemical factory and there are a lot of things that can go wrong. Check out all of the signs to see if you are truly healthy.
