Your
BMI and Risks with High BMI
BMI
stands for Body Mass Index. It is a number that shows body
weight adjusted for height. BMI
can be calculated with simple math using inches and pounds.
All persons who are obese or overweight should try not to
gain additional weight. In addition, those who are obese or
who are overweight with other risk factors should consider
losing weight. Whatever your BMI, talk to your Seven Hills
physician to see if you are at an increased risk for disease
and if you should lose weight. Even a small weight loss (just
10% of your current weight) may help to lower the risk of
disease.
Lower
Your Risk of Breast Cancer
Did
you know that one woman in eleven will develop breast cancer
over her lifetime? Discuss any issues with your Seven Hills
physician.
Know
Your Risk for Cancer
Your age, diet, family history and personal life style can
affect the risk of developing cancer in your lifetime. Designed
by the Women's Cancer Network, this unique survey will help
you determine your risk for cancer of the breast, ovary, cervix
and uterus. It will also help you decide what life changes
are necessary to maintain maximum health.
Control
Heavy Periods
How you feel influences every aspect of your life — from your
work to your relationships with friends and family.
For many women, the pain and inconvenience of heavy menstrual
bleeding may interfere with living life to the fullest. If
you're among them, the good news is that you don't have to
live with heavy bleeding anymore. More options than ever are
available to treat excessive menstrual bleeding.
Learn
Your Risk for Heart Disease
Coronary heart disease is America's No. 1 killer. Stroke is
No. 3 and a leading cause of serious disability. That's why
it's so important to reduce your risk factors, know the warning
signs, and know how to respond quickly and properly if warning
signs occur.
