Best Exercises to Reshape Your Body

Obesity was an unknown term before the 20th century, when in 1997 the World Health Organization (WHO) formally recognized it as a global epidemic.
A recent Lancet study estimates that the number of overweight adults in the world was 2.1 billion in 2013, compared with 857 million in 1980. Apparently, its rate increases with age, mostly up to 50 or 60 years old. Mexico, United States, United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia are the top five countries with the highest obesity rates.
 
What are your options in this age of technological advancements that keep us sitting too much to preserve and improve the health of your body and mind? Exercise regularly, eat healthy food, destress, relax and sleep minimum 6 hours at night. Keep an eye on your body mass index. BMI is a measure of relative weight based on an individual's mass and height.
BMI formula is the individual's body mass divided by the square of their height.
