About body composition and body recompositing
Body composition Body composition refers to the amount of fat and fat-free mass (muscle, bone and water) your body contains. Analysing body composition gives a better understanding of health than other screening methods that only factor in weight and height, such as body mass index (BMI).That’s because your body fat percentage in relation to your muscle mass better reflects your overall wellbeing than just weight or BMI. There-fore body recompositing focuses on body composition rather than weight. Body recompositing is a lifestyle in which fitness and nutrition techniques lead to healthy changes in your body’s ratio of fat to muscle.
Body Recompositing Is More Than Just Numbers Going Down on the scale
Most of the time, people use a scale to gauge their progress when trying to lose weight. If the number on the scale goes down, most dieters infer success. However, the problem with using a scale as the only method to track your progress is that most scales don’t differentiate between fat loss and muscle loss, which is an important factor in measuring health.
Having too much body fat has been linked to a slew of health issues and may increase your risk of chronic conditions, such as diabetes, cancer and heart diseases, please do your research do not quote us. In contrast, having a healthy ratio of muscle mass to body fat can improve your health while decreasing your risk of the above diseases If done correctly, body recompositing changes the makeup of your body so that you have less fat and more muscle. Interestingly, favouring body recompositing techniques over other methods of weight loss may result in much slower weight loss, or no weight loss at all, due to the simultaneous gain in muscle.
