Things You Should Know about Body Fat before You wants To Lose Fat

Most of us want to lose fat because too much fat, especially subcutaneous fat, can be extremely bad for us. With obesity numbers climbing around the globe every year, we take a closer look at body weight, fat and weight loss.

Now let us look at the few reasons why people need to lose weight.

When a woman is overweight, it can affect her chances of getting pregnant as it affects their ovulation. When a woman is pregnant and overweight can cause many complications such as preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, certain infections, increased risk or a cesarean and having a baby that is larger than normal.

Being overweight is obviously bad for your health and can put you at risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, some cancers, gall bladder problems, high blood pressure, increase stress on the bones and joints and decreases life expectancy.

In your bid to lose fat, beware of stress. Stress can also cause a person to gain weight because the stress hormone cortical is released and that tells the body to store fat, mostly around your stomach.

Avoid taking bad stuff if you want lose more fat. The liver helps to burn fat, but when it is busy processing and eliminating toxins from alcohol, junk food and other toxic stuff that we put into the body, it cannot process and burn the fat as well as it normally would.

Make sure you have enough sleep if you want to lose weight fast, a lack of sleep can also cause you to put on weight as it causes hormone and chemical imbalances in the body. Leptin, the hormone that makes you feel full, decreases and the hormone ghrelin, which makes us feel hungry, increases.

Some fat cells are difficult to lose

You cannot actually lose the amount of fat cells that you have as once you reach a certain age, the numbers remain constant. While a certain amount will die over the course of a year, the body replaces them. Diet and exercise only shrinks the cells; it does not get rid of them and fat cells can increase as much as a whopping six times their size.

While liposuction and other drastic measures have instant effects and will reduce the number of fat cells you have, the body will actually replace them over the next couple of years. The only way to ensure that those fat cells do not increase in size again is to pay extremely close attention to what you eat and how much your exercise. If you do not change your diet and exercise habits, you will go back to your pre surgery weight.

When you are overweight or have extra weight around your stomach, fat surrounds your internal organs, which is where the health risks come from. In fact you can be you can be as thin as a bean but still have fat (visceral fat) around your organs and the worst kind for your health, in comparison to other body fat, known as subcutaneous fat. It increases your risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes and cancer.

Lose bad fat but not good fat

Good fat is essential for bodily functions, and if you stop eating it altogether, the body cannot produce energy or absorb vitamins, hormone production is effected and blood has difficulty forming. This of course puts you at risk of a lot of health problems, including internal bleeding and weak bones. Good fats, the unsaturated kind also helps the body lower cholesterol and should make up 30 per cent of your calorie intake.
