Obesity: obesity or being obese generally means being fat or having a lot of body fat. Nowadays many heart problems and major diseases like diabetes attack those who are fat or to say obese. Body FAT: One major enemy of the world does not come in human form. Rather, it is a substance, an energy component, that many spend their lives trying to rid themselves of. At once considered a health concern and a necessary health component, this substance, fat, which comes in various forms and compositions, is on the minds of many as they begin their day. Much of big businesses commercial success hinges on fat removal for health and aesthetic reasons. New and innovative diets and training regimens designed for the express purpose of reducing its deposition are springing up almost daily, such is its reputation as a health concern and the implications it has for all who posses excessive levels. With such an emphasis on fat reduction between much of the world's industrialized population and with all the coverage it receives in various media, there seems to be a surprising lack of insight as to exactly what it is and why we at turns need a certain amount, but not an oversupply. While many know what body fat is in its more obvious problematic form, few have a detailed understanding of what its purpose really is. So why do we have body fat and exactly what is this, often-unsightly substance that, if maintained at an appropriate level, can be crucial for survival, health and wellbeing? WHY HAVE IT: In colder seasons it insulates you. Maintains Triglyceride & Free Fatty Acid Levels and aids in vitamin absorption also in Hormone Production. Why don't we need a lot of it(health risks): On the downside, fat cells have been shown to play a role in determining insulin resistance. A large accumulation of abdominal fat (or central obesity) is viewed as an important marker of diabetes as, due to its specific metabolic profile, and given it can prevent a normal insulin response, it is more prone to impaired glucose tolerance, a state that often leads to full-blown diabetes. Diagnosed by measuring the hip to waist ratio, central obesity (which can be confirmed if the waist measurement exceeds 1.0 in men, or 0.9 in women) also contributes to the expression of Resistin, a hormone that is thought to suppress the ability of insulin to stimulate glucose uptake in fat cells, thus potentially linking obesity to diabetes. In addition to its influence on insulin response, central obesity is also considered a major risk factor for high blood pressure and heart disease, making it something to be avoided at all costs. In fact, topping the list of combined factors which may result in "metabolic syndrome", or an increased risk for both heart disease and diabetes (type 2), is waist circumference - for men a measurement of 40 inches or more, or for women 35 inches, will significantly increase their chances of getting metabolic syndrome. Conclusion: Body fat is something that we all have to a greater or lesser extent and it's value as a health component is undeniable. However, excessive amounts have been shown to be problematic, fuelling the desire of many to rid their bodies of it.To avoid bulks of body fat we can perform some aerobic exercises.
