What does being overweight mean in adulthood?
Patients are inquisitive people, and they constantly throw me articles in which they are very convincing at first glance. view it is proved that after a certain age it is just as natural for women to get fat as it is breathe.
Usually this is also illustrated by pictures of the supposedly "norm": on one girl at the age of 25, slender as a tree. On the second - she, but at the age of 50, with an abdominal form of obesity, pulling to the second degree.
This is an obvious distortion.
How Much Fat Should You Really Have in Your Body?
Actually adipose tissue should be exactly as much as it should be. As a percentage - no more than 31 percent of the total mass.
In kilograms - from 13 to 16 kg of fat, depending on height and age.
Everything that goes beyond these limits is not beneficial at any age, either in reproductive or postmenopausal.
Excess fat is always the development of systemic inflammation, metabolic syndrome, the threat of type 2 diabetes and cancer.
It must be said that deficiency of body fat is dangerous. Deficiency contributes to the risk of sudden death and osteoporosis.
So all the fundamental principles - the body should have only as much as it should - it is better not to violate.
