Since, no two persons can have the exact same age, muscle-fat ratio, height, sex, and bone density at any given time, it is impossible to have one measure of what ideal body weight at a certain age should be. So, in simple words “Ideal Body Weight” is a range of weights that tells you whether YOUR weight is in proportion with YOUR height and gender. But what takes precedence over achieving an Ideal Body Weight is if the range you are targeting is the best for you. That means are you targeting a healthy goal?

Whitney Thore had gained nearly 100 pounds. It stemmed from polycystic ovary syndrome, and she found it hard to accept her larger figure. Her emotional distress peaked while she was living abroad and dealing with a breakup. Frustrated and unable to find relief, she turned on some music and started to dance. "I was all alone in an apartment by myself, and I closed my eyes and just naturally let my body move the way that it wanted to, which is something I hadn't done in over a decade. And as I'm just moving, just swaying, eventually I started moving more and more. And within minutes, I was just crying," she said. The catharsis she found in that moment was powerful; it jarred her, so much that she didn't dance again until she was back in the United States and a friend encouraged her to film a routine with him.

Here are some great—and surprising—things that happen to your body when you eat beets.

That means better circulation, and possibly lower blood pressure. A very small study from 2012 found that 13 men who drank just one glass of beet juice temporarily lowered their systolic blood pressure by an average of 4 to 5 points. (Note: the study was funded by a beet juice manufacturer.)
