What is Body Fat

Body fat comes in two varieties. There’s Subcutaneous Fat, a noticeable layer of fat that lies just below the skin, and then there’s Visceral Fat (Intra-Abdominal fat), which is buried beneath the muscles.

Visceral fat is the more worrisome variety because it is located in the abdominal cavity (stomach area), surrounds vital organs and is metabolized by the liver, which turns it into blood cholesterol.

The more visceral fat you carry around the higher your chances of developing insulin resistance (leading to Type 2 Diabetes), heart disease and other metabolic syndromes. Visceral fat can go largely unnoticed because it’s not visible to the naked eye.

Subcutaneous fat not only accumulates around stomach but also around the upper arms, hips and thighs, and can cause distortion of the body’s proportions. Although not directly linked to increased risk of disease, it is thought to increase pressure on the heart and other complications.

Visceral fat levels : 1 - 9 (Ideal), 10 – 14 (Risk), 15 – 20 (High Risk)

Body Muscle

There are 3 types of muscle tissue which is cardiac, smooth, and skeletal. Cardiac muscle cells are located in the walls of the heart, appear spindle-shaped, and are under involuntary control. Smooth muscle fibers are located in walls of hollow visceral organs, except the heart, appear striated, and are also under involuntary control. Skeletal muscle fibers occur in muscles which are attached to the skeleton.

Skeletal muscle

It is striated muscle tissue that is attached to bones. It is composed of fibers that look like a mixture of dark and light bands bundled together that run along the bone. These muscles are responsible for contracting and relaxing when a person moves. Skeletal muscles are the muscles that we can see and feel through our skin.

Each skeletal muscle is attached to a bone on one end, stretching across a joint and is attached

to the end of another bone.

Body Age Classification

Body Age indication is based on one's resting metabolism and is used as a guide to one's metabolic age. It is calculated from your resting metabolism while the latter is calculated by combining your weight, body fat percentage and skeletal muscle percentage to produce a guide as to whether your body age is above or below the average for your actual age.

Examples (figures above):

• The example on the left has a body age of 30, or average body composition for the actual age.
• The example in the middle has a lower body fat percentage than average and higher skeletal muscle percentage and resting metabolism, which results in a body age of 25 that is younger than the actual age.
• The example on the right has higher body fat percentage than average and lower skeletal muscle percentage and resting metabolism, which results in a body age of 35 that is older than the actual age.

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), also called the Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)

The amount of energy needed to support the body's most basic functions when at rest in a neutral, or non-stressful, environment is known as the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) or Resting Metabolic Rate. The BMR is the number of calories a specific human needs per day to stay alive. BMR can be responsible for 70% of the calories burned per day.

60% - 70% of daily energy use is for Basal Metabolism / Resting Metabolism

The body's most basic functions are those that are immediately necessary for a person to stay alive. These functions include pumping blood, breathing and producing heat. Nonessential functions, such as digestion and standing are not included in this calculation.
