Understanding your body composition means understanding your state of health. Most health experts agree that an excess amount of body fat can lead to poor health outcomes and higher risk of chronic disease. These heightened risks include, but are not limited to, Type II Diabetes, Cancer, and Heart Disease. Did you know that there are also risks associated with too low body fat, including poor cardiovascular function, loss of bone density, low testosterone, low energy, and Amenorrhea. While outdated methods like BMI may provide us with a superficial baseline, they don’t really tell us what’s going on inside. Your body composition can also explain why you are experiencing some of the symptoms that are dragging you down.
