Too Much Body Fat?
The average male has around 18% total body fat with approximately 23% for a female.
Health experts have issued many warnings over the last few decades about the dangers of obesity and excess body fat – but also indicate that excess body fat is NOT a particular health hazard until the above figure reaches double (around 34% for males and 40% for women).
Body fat is the the percentage of the entire body that is classed as fat – in more simplistic terms an individual who weighs in at 150 lbs and has 10% body fat has 15 lbs of excess fat and the rest (135 lbs) is made up of lean tissue.
What Is Body Fat
Body fat is created when our body takes on more calories than recommended on daily basis.
It is estimated that a man requires approximately 2200 per day with 1800 daily for a women.
If our daily diet provides the body with more calories than it needs for general maintenance for prolonged periods, this excess is stored in the form of body fat.
How To Stop The Accumulation Of Body Fat
The answer to this is a relatively simple one - the removal of excess fat is by a reversal of the bodily processes that store excess energy, if a person burns more energy than they are are taking, the extra energy stored in the body will be removed to be broken down for physical activity.
Can Exercise Burn Body Fat
Regular exercise is absolutely paramount – it is the most effective and natural way of expelling excess calories and reducing percent body fat.
The more physical exercise and activities you participate in the more calories you will burn.
Food is the fuel for the body – in an ideal world there would be no such thing as obesity if individuals learned how to control their fuel intake.
Where Does Excess Body Fat Accumulate
Our body tends to deposit fat according to your individual genetic code. This is due to hereditary characteristics and they can dictate that certain areas in your body accumulate fat.
If you are a typical female, you may gain fat around your thighs, buttocks and hips. Typically, males accumulate fat around the stomach and have trouble removing fat from this area.
1 lb of Fat Is How Many Calories
A calorie is a unit of energy, the deficit needed to lose one pound of fat being approximately 4000 Calories. This general rule may vary considerably from person to person depending on the nature of the fat lost. For long term weight loss this figure is probably true.
What Are The Best Way To Lose Excess Body Fat
Put simply, physical activity.
Can Fat Burning Products Help
Just with any other subject and industry there are effective products and the not so effective.
Possibly the best type of fat burning products are those that raise the bodies metabolic rate. This increases our desire and ability to participate in physical activity.
