Body Fat not Always Bad
Most of the women dream are having a good, sexy, body shape, which associated with slim body. Well, it has been accepted that beauty woman has slim body. Thus makes women try to make their body slim, and avoid to be fatty.
"Women are happier when they know that they lose their weight rather than increase of the body weight"
Because of that, most of the women do everything to get slimmer, such as extreme diet, liposuctioning, drugs, exercises, etc.
When women are slimmer, they are more confident, and easier to attract male.
But, the body fat not always bad for our health and our body.
Women and Fat
Women tend to have more fat than men—about five percent more. By nature, a woman's body is developed to protect her and a potential fetus. As a result, women have more enzymes for storing fat and fewer enzymes for burning fat. Additionally, the estrogen women have activates fat storing enzymes and causes them to multiply. The minimum percent bodyfat considered safe for good health is 12% for females. The average adult body fat is closer to 22%-25% for women.
Eventhough women store more fat compare to men, but men are more prone to obesity related complications. Because women have high estrogen level, estrogen is responsible for fat storage in women. Estrogen mobilize fat and store in hips and legs, thus give a women body shape like a spanish guitar (pear-shaped).
While in men, fat deposition is not well controlled thus store in belly (apple-shaped).
Heredity is one: Scientists have identified a number of genes that help determine how many fat cells an individual develops and where these cells are stored. Hormones are also involved. At menopause, estrogen production decreases and the ratio of androgen (male hormones present in small amounts in women) to estrogen increases — a shift that’s been linked in some studies to increased abdominal fat after menopause. Some researchers suspect that the drop in estrogen levels at menopause is also linked to increased levels of cortisol, a stress hormone that promotes the accumulation of abdominal fat.
As the evidence against abdominal fat mounts, researchers and clinicians are trying to measure it, correlate it with health risks, and monitor changes that occur with age and overall weight gain or loss.
Central obesity is associated with cardiovascular complications and diabetes mellitus, since fat in belly, is rapidly metabolized thus increases serum cholesterol and lipid fat. While, the estrogenic storage fat (hips and legs) are slow to metabolized, usually use in hormone production. Thus women that have less fat in hips and legs associated with menstrual complaints.
The good news is that visceral fat yields fairly easily to exercise and diet, with benefits ranging from lower blood pressure to more favorable cholesterol levels. Subcutaneous fat located at the waist — the pinchable stuff can be frustratingly difficult to budge, but in normal-weight people, it’s generally not considered as much of a health threat as visceral fat is. In fact, a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2004 found that liposuction removal of subcutaneous fat (up to 23 pounds of it) in 15 obese women had no effect after three months on their measures of blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, or response to insulin. Weight loss through diet and exercise, on the other hand, triggers many changes that have positive health effects.
Conclusion
Too little body fat can cause physiological complications, too much body fat is also harmful. For women over 32% fat, there is a dramatic correlation with illness and disease. Obesity has become a serious health threat for women at every stage of life.
Women dream to Have a slim body, but it should be without any fat, since fat is needed in our body physiology.
Abdominal fat is the most harmful fat storage and but it easier to lose it by diet or exercise.
