Press Release Body = FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Vancouver, Canada - February 28, 2006 - According to USDA\'s Economic Research
Service analysis, many Americans misidentify their weight category. Forty-one
percent of adults, whom dietitians would classify as overweight, did not recognize
themselves to be overweight. Among those adults whom dietitians would classify as
obese, thirteen percent believed that their weight was about right or even too low.
Taking this fact into consideration, Actabit Healthware has released a new software
program, BMI Calculator. It automatically calculates Body Mass Index, which reveals
if a person is underweight, normal, overweight or obese.

BMI Calculator runs on Windows XP, 2000, ME, NT, 98. Users can choose English or
Metric system. Then they enter their height and weight into BMI Calculator and click
the Calculate button. At once the program calculates the figure that shows the
proportion of their weight to height. BMI Calculator is designed for adults aged
twenty years and above.

BMI Calculator is very easy-to-use. It helps users control their weight. BMI higher
than 25 predicts the risk for obesity-related diseases. In this case, BMI Calculator
encourages the person to adhere to healthy dietary and lifestyle habits.

A free trial copy of BMI Calculator is available:
