The body fat of humans differs in essential or fundamental and storage .
The first include, for example, fats which construct the cell membranes or sphingomyelin a substance with a great effect on the nervous system. As is easily understood, its presence is a sine qua non for the correct functioning of the organism. In essential fat is included and the " specific for gender " fat which is situated in the female body, comprising fat which is in the chest , the hip and thighs and fat added in the female body during puberty in preparation for future pregnancy .
The " specific for gender " explains the fact that a middle normovaris woman has a greater percentage of fat by means normovari man (18-28% versus 10-20%) and also explains how women with extremely low levels of fat (e. x. specific sports athletes or dancers) may present complications in reproductive the system (eg amenorrhea).
What is storage fat?
The storage fat is the fat man saves for the future production of energy , when the energy balance is positive , ie. In the periods when the person consumes dietary more energy than needed (ie. Than it spends the same period).
The fat storage is distinguished in subcutaneous , ie the fat stored in adipose tissue located under the skin and visceral , which refers to the fat stored in adipose tissue located in the thoracic and abdominal cavity around and between institutions . A small amount of fat stored and intramuscularly .
The energy storage mechanism in the form of fat , was reportedly very valuable for prehistoric man, wherein the feed finding was occasional and depends on many factors . Today, however, the Western world, in an environment that is characterized by an abundance of food and sedentary life , the excessive accumulation of fat in the human body is more than usual and brings a wealth of problems in health .
Different fat distribution in men and women?
We've noticed that the men tend to collect the storage fat belly making the body look like apple (mannish distribution), while in women the fat tends to be distributed in the region the buttocks , giving the body a picture pear (female division). The impressive thing is that the storage of fat in the abdomen has a greater impact than the same deposition buttocks . Thus, increased circumference waist is predictive factor for dyslipidemia , hypertension , coronary heart disease , type II diabetes and even premature death .
Because the fat is distributed differently in men and women?
The exact causes remain unknown to the scientific community, although differences in hormones , receptors, hormones and concentrations of enzymes between the sexes seems to play an important role .
The role of hormones of sex in a different distribution of fat is not disputed and may even give a good explanation to why women who brought the classic female distribution of fat before menopause , they begin to store large levels of fat in the abdomen , after than when the levels of estrogen are greatly reduced.
How can I reduce my fat storage?
In periods where the total energy needs of the body (basal metabolism plus physical activity we perform) is greater than our energy intake from food, the body is obliged to use stored fat as a substrate for energy production, reducing the overall amount of the body us. Of course, the body can metabolize muscle mass for energy production, which is generally undesirable . The exercise with resistors will limit this catabolism, helping indirectly to the maximum loss of fat . The aerobic exercise will help you directly increasing the caloric deficit that may already be generated by feeding you. Although many consider how the walking contributes to the maximum loss of fat (because the particular tensions observed the highest percentage participation fat as energy substrate) in the jogging) will help you lose more fat .
I target the point where I want to reduce my fat?
Though many heard on this issue, the truth is that, unfortunately, we can not choose the point where the body we will choose to metabolize fat mass . Neither the endless crunches for training the abs your muscles will reduce the fat of the abdomen or other magical recipes exist. However, as your total fat will be reduced as part of a hypocaloric diet and execution of physical activity will be reduced and the fat in the area that interests you!
