Read MoreDid you know that your BMI can indicate certain health risk factors? This includes pre-diabetes and diabetes, which 1 in 2 Asian Americans develop in their lifetime. This risk increases when your BMI is 23 or higher for Asians, or 25 and higher for non-Asians.
Read MoreIf your BMI falls within the normal range, you should still be conscious of your nutrition and exercise choices, as both contribute to overall health. Limiting certain foods such as dietary salt while eating foods that cause a slower rise in blood sugar can help to prevent diabetes. Physical activity can also help to lower your blood sugar, so it's important to make it a regular habit.

It's important to eat nutrient-dense foods and eat regularly throughout the day.
