Note: From 2010-02-01, Watson weighing scale had replaced Camry, which became faulty. In the past reading of Camry was about 500g more than that of Watson. To maintain consistency, so my weight =Watson reading (in kg) + 500g.

On 2010-03-28, at about 7.40 am, my weight by Camry = 55.9 kg + 500g = 56.4 kg. I also used Tanita BC-532 Body Composition Monitor to confirm that my weight was 56.4 kg.

My current BMI is within the healthy range of 18.5 to 22.9.

For me, the range of healthy weight is 50.9786 kg (BMI = 18.5) to 63.10324 kg (BMI = 22.9).

People with BMI values of 23 kg/m2 (or 25 kg/m2 according to some sources) and above have been found to be at risk of developing heart disease and diabetes.

To be healthy, I must have a healthy weight.

Be as lean as possible without being underweight, as recommended by World Cancer Prevention Foundation, United Kingdom.

Rising obesity among young set to worsen diabetes rate

Rising obesity among young set to worsen diabetes rate
=================
Published 22 February 2016, 5.00 am

Rising obesity in children and young adults will push up the rate of diabetes in Singapore - already among the highest in the developed world - going by recent studies.

Professor Chia Kee Seng, dean of the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health, said 34 per cent of people aged 24 to 35 this year can expect to be diabetic by the time they are 65, based on projections.

Overall, diabetes rates have risen, from 8.6 per cent of the adult population in 1992 to 11.3 per cent in 2010. This would have gone up to 12.9 per cent by last year, said epidemiologists at the school under the National University of Singapore. They study the patterns, causes and effects of health and disease conditions in the population.

Prof Chia told The Straits Times that obesity has been rising at a faster rate in people below age 40, and a major reason is "a big drop in physical activity" when people start working. He said: "It is important for those in their 20s to recognise that the dramatic lifestyle changes as they enter working life will have very significant health impact when they are in their 60s."

Although they become less active as working adults, most people continue to eat the same amount of food, or even more as they have higher disposable income.

To make matters worse, obesity in schoolchildren has risen - from 11 per cent in 2013 to 12 per cent in 2014, said the Education Ministry. In 2000, it was 10 per cent.

The Education Ministry said that for some children, there is a cycle of weight gain during long holidays followed by weight loss during term time as a result of physical activities and weight-management programmes in school.

Stallholders in school canteens have been encouraged to use healthier ingredients, and drinks have to meet the Health Promotion Board's (HPB's) reduced-sugar requirement.

An HPB spokesman said childhood obesity is an international public health concern as it increases the risk of adult obesity. On the positive side, she said, schoolchildren are now eating more fruit and greens. In 2012, only one in five consumed at least two servings each of fruit and vegetables a day. Last year, almost half did so.

She added that almost half of the more than 6,000 overweight primary and secondary school children who took part in its programmes were able to bring their weight down to a healthy level.

The World Health Organisation released the final report from its Commission on Ending Childhood Obesity last month. The report expects the number of fat children to balloon from 42 million in 2013 to 70 million by 2025.

It warns: "Obese infants and children are likely to continue being obese during adulthood and are more likely to develop a variety of health problems as adults."

These include diabetes, heart disease, stroke, joint problems and a higher risk of getting endometrial, breast and colon cancers.

"I want the kids here to understand that reading opens up your mind. It opens up so many doors," said Sue. "You sit right here in your kitchen. It takes you to places. When you are reading these good books, it gives you a tremendous vocabulary. I never home-schooled them. All I had done was provide books for them.

Eating habits and behaviors

https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/patientinstructions/000349.htm

Food gives our bodies the energy we need to function. Food is also a part of traditions and culture. This can mean that eating has an emotional component as well. For many people, changing eating habits is very hard.

You may have had certain eating habits for so long that you do not realize they are unhealthy. Or, your habits have become part of your daily life, so you do not think much about them.

For weight loss, Nutrition is more important

Bob Harper, a long-time trainer for "The Biggest Loser" American Reality Show and now the show's new host, says he is often approached by strangers seeking weight loss advice.

"It is all about your nutrition," he says. "It is 80 percent your nutrition; it is 20 percent fitness."

Eczema healed by Gluten free diet ( A case seen on internet)

<< Gluten Allergy>>

Dear Scratch Pad

The backs of my hands and fingers were covered with eczema. I tried everything over the course of four years and had little tubes of prescription medication littering my bathroom cupboard. These topical steroids were just small fixes that ended up thinning my skin. If I dried my hands with a towel and was too abrasive, my hands would end up bleeding. After some research, I decided to try a gluten-free diet. Now, my hands are almost completely clear and have been that way for the year and a half that I have followed the diet. If I accidentally eat gluten, my eczema will be back in about three days (but not as severe). As difficult as it was at the beginning to avoid gluten, it has been completely worth it and has become just part of life.
