Medical Video: How to Lose Fat the Right Way (MEN VS WOMEN!)
Women have a lot of fat than men, is that right? If noted, indeed the average woman is very easy to gain weight and easily fat than men. Even though a woman who is always exercising and has an ideal body weight, can still have fat that tends to be more. Why do women have a lot of fat?
Women have a lot of fat due to different body composition with men
Women and men basically have different body compositions and more fat in women. In normal women, the amount of body fat is around 20-25% of the total body weight. While the male body only contains an average of 10-15% fat.
Not only are the different compositions, each group also has their own way to metabolize fat. This metabolic difference is one of them caused by the reproductive hormones of each group. The estrogen hormone women have influences how they store fat in their body. While the male hormone testosterone, makes them save less fat than women.
Not only that, the fat in a woman's body is also more difficult to remove than men. In fact, in a study from the University of Missouri that carried out research on women and men who had type 2 diabetes confirmed this statement. In the study it was known that women can achieve the same fat level as men, if they exercise 20% harder and longer than men. And again this is caused by hormones that belong to each group.
In a way, the hormone testosterone in a man's body is indeed 'regulated' to quickly release fat, and vice versa in women who have the hormone estrogen and progressesterone
This excess fat will become a female energy reserve
Don't be jealous of fewer male fats than you. The fat in your body is actually prepared to be used someday. Yes, in fact women must have a lot of fat because when they enter pregnancy, labor, and breastfeeding, these fats will be used. All the fat in your body, especially the lower part, will serve as an energy reserve when you give birth and breastfeed. Childbirth and breastfeeding are tiring times for a mother.
Mothers should eat foods that are full of energy and various nutrients to support their health and their babies. Fat reserves will prevent the mother from experiencing a lack of energy during labor until breastfeeding. Even the closer the time of labor and breastfeeding, the mother's reproductive hormones will change to prepare for the arrival of the baby.
One of the changes made is to store more fat than before, so that energy reserves remain. So, don't think badly if you have a lot of fat in the body, because fat is the nutrient you need.
