How/Where to Take Measurements: Weight - With as little clothing as possible Waist - Measure at the belly button Height - Measure without shoes Neck - Measure at the thinnest part Hips - Measure at the thickest part Background Information: The term body fat is a familiar one. However, most people associate this word to obesity, cholesterol, and an unhealthy constitution. Although excess body fat content can have severe implications, the body requires a specific amount of body fat for various metabolic and structural functions. Body fat is produced in the body through the absorption of fats present in the food consumed. As the body breaks down these fats, two byproducts are released into the body glycerol and fatty acids. The liver processes glycerol into glucose and stores it as a stock of energy (fat) which may be tapped for use later on. Fatty acids provide energy for all major tissues, especially for the cardiac muscles and the skeletal muscles. So, it is very important to include appropriate amounts of fatty substances in the diet. However, it is also important to remember that too much body fat can negatively affect the body. Very often, the fats absorbed by the body do not burn off but continue to get stored. Such accumulation of fat may lead to obesity that can then set off many other health issues like breathing difficulties, arthritis and heart disease. To prevent problems associated with too much body fat, one must be aware of the current body fat percentage in the body and the ideal percentage required. Knowing the exact fat percentage in your body can help in setting realistic weight loss plans.
