What is essential fat?

Essential fat is body fat or fat tissue, which is necessary for a number of body functions, from creating reproductive tissue to assistance in absorption of vitamins consumed in foods. It is differentiated from subcutaneous body fat or body fat, which is stored under the skin for future energy consumption, because essential fat cannot generally be used for energy, except for heavy malnutrition. Together, necessary and stored fat, when it is divided in pounds of the body's total body weight, it forms the overall percentage of the body fat of that person. In women, essential fat is about nine to 12 percent of the total body weight, while in men it is approximately three to five percent. It is located in the bone marrow and creates membrane vagina surrounding individual nerves, as well as those lining brains, distributed after muscle tissue and lining of organs reach from the heart and lungs to the intestines. In addition, this type of fat is the main part of the reproductive tissue, especially in women who jI carry breast and uterus in tissue. This corresponds to the extra weight in essential fat stored in female bodies.

Essential fat is distinguished rather according to its role in the constitution of physical structures rather than engaging in metabolic processes. In other words, it is not used as a source of energy when the caloric body expenditure exceeds its caloric intake, as stored by body fat. Instead, it is used as a type of building material for many tissues of the body. The way in which subcutaneous fat is and is considered necessary, but necessary for the body to work.

Techniques of testing the body composition, such as testing of the stirrups, under water and more modern techniques, such as dual energy X -ray absorption, take into account the overall percentage of body fat as part of the total body weight. For example, if the total fat percentage is 25 percent and nine to 12 percent is of essential fat, then the remaining 13 to 16 PROgent comes from stored body fat. If it weighs £ 140 (63.5 kilograms), £ 35 (15.88 kilograms) comes from fat with anywhere from 13-17 of these pounds (5.7-7.7 kilograms) that contributed to essential fat.

Because it is impossible to have zero body fat. Even the most beautiful athletes, with only 14 percent of total body fat and males up to six percent, will usually have several pounds of subcutaneous fat at the top of their basic fat. The recommended range of total body fat in healthy women is usually 18 to 24 percent and in men it is 10 to 17 percent, with athletes coming to 14 to 18 percent and six to 10 percent.
