Is Your Weight Healthy? Take This 30-Second Test To Find Out

BMI isn't everything. A new study found that more than one-third of those at risk for obesity-related problems are considered healthy, per the calculation.

A superior marker? Your waist-to-height ratio, which accounts for extra belly fat (which is linked to heart disease and diabetes).

Want to find out if you're in the clear? Here's the easy, 30-second test:
1. Cut a piece of string to the length of your height, then fold it in half and wrap it around your waist.
2. If the ends overlap, your waist is less than half your height—the ideal range. Snug string? Time to trim down.
