Integrate a BMI calculator LINK

Body mass index (BMI) uses height and weight measurements to estimate how much body fat a person has. To calculate BMI, divide weight in kg by height in meters squared; for pounds and inches, divide weight by height squared and multiply the result by the conversion factor 703. An easier way to measure BMI is to use a BMI calculator. Once you know your child's BMI, it can be plotted on a standard BMI chart. Kids fall into one of four categories:

1. Underweight: BMI below the 5th percentile
2. Normal: BMI at the 5th and less than the 85th percentile
3. Overweight: BMI at the 85th and below 95th percentiles
4. Obese: BMI at or above 95th percentile

Preventing kids from becoming overweight sometimes means adapting or changing your family’s overall approach to health, wellness, exercise and nutrition. Changing the way the family understands nutrition and incorporates it into their daily life makes a huge difference in their health and their future well being. Helping kids lead healthy lifestyles begins with parents who lead by example. At Heal n Cure, we develop personalized weight-loss and wellness programs and offer therapeutic treatments for the entire family.

We have a Family practitioner on board with an extensive experience working with adult and pediatric patients in outpatient as well as inpatient settings. That gives them an advantage of treating the whole family, which oftentimes makes it easier for family members to go through the weight loss program and improve their health. Our programs impact the entire family.
