Reducing Excess Body Fat
The body is composed of fat and fat-free mass (such as bone, muscle, tissue, water). Total body fat is composed largely of stored fat and a small amount of "essential" fat that makes up cell membranes, nerve sheaths, as well as fat padding vital structures. Excess body fat is stored fat which does not support the body’s normal functions and can degrade one’s health and wellness. Excess body fat has been linked to various health risks, including; high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, cancer and heart disease. Additionally, excess body fat reduces one's physical performance by detracting from endurance, speed and stamina.
Reducing excess body fat is best accomplished with a comprehensive approach including healthy nutritional habits coupled with physical activity. Although not required, weight loss is often associated with body fat reduction.
