Where has all the fat gone? Sverige

Anyone who has had a body composition test will be very concerned about one statistic

-Fat quantity-

Fat is an important tissue in the human body, which not only provides energy for the body but also has a variety of physiological functions. However, due to the improved movement in living standards, fat has become the most hated by modern people. People hardly talk about fat in a peaceful mood.

People often look in the mirror to "examine" themselves to see if they have recently gained weight or their stomach is big again.

However, what we see in the mirror is usually just the "outermost layer of fat". Do you know what other parts of our body have fat? And what is the difference between their functions and roles?

First of all, let's take a look at the common physiological functions of all fats:

1, energy storage: fat is the main energy storage material in the human body. When the body's intake

of energy overconsumption, the excess energy will be converted to fat storage, in case of emergency.

2, maintain body temperature: fat has good insulation properties, can maintain body temperature, and helps to resist the cold environment.

3, the protection of internal organs: fat in the human body plays a role in supporting and protecting internal organs, and can buffer the impact of external forces on the organs. the synthesis of hormones: certain hormones such as estrogen and androgen are synthesized by adipose tissue. These hormones play an important role in the regulation of human reproduction and metabolism. involved in cell signal transduction: fat cells can secrete a variety of biologically active substances, involved in intercellular signal transduction, regulating the body's physiological functions.

After understanding these, we will take a look at the body fat consumed sequentially:

1, subcutaneous fat: subcutaneous fat is mainly stored in the lower layers of the skin, that is, people can see in the mirror, often called: "fat". Subcutaneous fat for the body's temperature regulation and mechanical buffer has an important role, but also the body's largest energy storage tank, we usually eat excess energy are stored here. So the right amount of subcutaneous fat can maintain the normal physiological function of the human body, however, excess may lead to obesity and related diseases. intermuscular fat: distributed between the muscle tissue, can provide energy for the muscle and protect the muscle. The distribution and content of intermuscular fat are related to exercise capacity and health conditions. An appropriate amount of intermuscular fat can provide energy for human movement, while too much of it will lead to fatigue and a decline in exercise capacity.

3, visceral fat: visceral fat is mainly stored in the abdominal cavity, around the liver, pancreas gastrointestinal tract, and other organs. Visceral fat has the function of secreting hormones and regulating metabolism, again, if hoarding too much, it will influence our health, especially increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. Studies have shown that visceral obesity is closely related to insulin resistance, dyslipidemia and hypertension, and other metabolic syndrome-related symptoms.

4, mammary gland fat: this is femalespecific fat, distributed around the breast tissue, not only for the mammary gland to provide support but also to store energy and provide a material basis for mammary gland secretion.

5, omental fat: commonly known as the "large omentum", located in the omental sac between the stomach and small intestine within the adipose tissue, its main role is to cushion and protect the organs in the abdominal cavity. Because it is related to metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, and other pathological processes, therefor too much omental fat may also  increase the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

From these distributions, we can see that the accumulation of fat in different parts of the body not only leads to obesity and related metabolic diseases but also the synthesis of certain endocrine hormones and adipose tissue are closely related. More importantly, for modern society, high-fat-induced obesity not only has a serious impact on physical health but also negatively affects an individual's mental health, which may lead to low self-esteem, depression, and other psychological problems. These stresses can affect people's eating habits and weight management, further affecting their physical health. It is because there are differences in the form, function, and distribution of fat in different parts of the body, therefore I suggest that we can often use the data of "Stage Fat Distribution" in the body scanner to understand our own body. If the proportion of abdominal fat is higher, it is mostly due to excessive visceral fat; on the contrary, if the proportion of fat in the limbs is higher, it is mostly due to more subcutaneous fat. On the other hand, if the proportion of fat in the limbs is higher, it is mostly a sign of more subcutaneous fat. This will provide a vital reference for your weight loss program or figure management
