Body fat consists of subcutaneous fat and visceral fat. The former affects the appearance, while the latter surrounds organs such as the liver and is the most dangerous fat.

a

Excessive visceral fat will greatly increase your risk of cardiovascular disease.

Fat is an essential component of human body, too much or too little will affect health.

For men, about 3~4% of body fat is essential fat, and for women, 10~ 12% is essential fat. If it is lower than this standard, it will affect health. Men's body fat is higher than 25%, and women's body fat is higher than 35%, which is not only ugly but also affects health.

So how do you judge your body fat rate?

b

One of the simplest methods is visual inspection.

Comparison of data between men and women:

Female body fat percentage and physical characteristics

8%~ 10%: the competitive state reached by very few female athletes (which will cause amenorrhea, menstrual disorder and breast reduction).

1 1%~ 13%: Dorsal muscles are exposed, and the division of external abdominal oblique muscles is more obvious (competitive state of female bodybuilders).

14%~ 16%: The dorsal muscles are exposed, and the abdominal muscles are more divided. ?

17%~ 19%: ideal body fat is not loose, and abdominal muscle is obvious.

20%~22%: ideal type, the fat in all parts of the body is not slack, the abdominal muscles begin to appear, and the block is not obvious.

23%~25%: the fat in all parts of the ideal figure is basically not slack, and the abdominal muscles are not exposed.

26%~28%: the fat in all parts of the body is obviously relaxed in the waist and abdomen, and the abdominal muscles are not exposed.

29%~3 1%: the abdominal muscles are not exposed, and the waist circumference is usually 8 1~85 cm. ?

c

32%~34%: the abdominal muscles are not exposed, and the waist circumference is usually 86~90 cm.

35%~37%: the abdominal muscles are not exposed, and the waist circumference is usually 9 1~95 cm.

38%~40%: the abdominal muscles are not exposed, and the waist circumference is usually 96~ 100 cm.

More than 4 1%: the abdominal muscles are not exposed, and the waist circumference is usually greater than 10 1 cm.

Simple instrument measurement is not very accurate because it can only be used as a reference because of the influence of water, food and physical condition in the body.
