When you hear a doctor or a personal trainer say, “Your body fat is
too high, or you are borderline obese, what do you think? Does it
matter to you? Does it motivate you to lose weight? Or are the
numbers on the scale more important to you?
Most people will always have a love – hate relationship with the
scale in their bathroom. However, with the dramatic increase in
diabetes and obesity cases in America the importance of keeping your
overall body fat down becomes the most important issue to ones
health.
What does it mean to be obese? This means that thirty percent or
more of your overall body weight is fat. When this occurs, your body
has already begun to shut down in many areas. Things that are
affected by high levels of body fat are; blood pressure,
cholesterol, bone density, energy levels, immune systems and on and
on. This is the direct reason for the increase in heart disease,
diabetes, and strokes in America.
