Love your infographics. But do you know….You can still be unhealthy with an ideal BMI because the bad hydrogenated oil happens to be INSIDE you, in arteries, etc.

These days people do not know they are “rotting” inside because they remove symptoms from their faces through face creams and botox.

  Ya Kelly i know very well about this but there is a solution for it aswell that is consumer awareness.It is the best protection.Always choose non-hydrogenated liquid vegetable oils like olive and canola oils and fatty foods like avocados, fish, nuts, olives and seeds.

I think what you posted made a great deal of sense.
However, what about this? what if you added a little content?
I am not saying your content isn’t solid., however suppose you added a post title to possibly get a person’s attention?

I mean Body Mass Index – BodyFitnessGain is kinda plain.
You could peek at Yahoo’s home page and watch how they create article headlines to get viewers to click. You might add a video or a related pic or two to grab readers interested about what you’ve got to say.
Just my opinion, it might make your website a little bit more interesting.
