Why keeping track on your body composition is important?
Body composition is nothing but a method of describing what your body is composed of in terms of mass. Your body mass is composed of multiple things including Fat, Protein, Water, and Muscles. These four components play critical roles in your health and have to be maintained within a normal range to avoid any health complications.
You need to maintain a healthy balance between all these components, especially between fat and muscle. Scientific evidence shows that a healthy body composition will increase your lifespan; reduce the risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, insulin resistance, etc.; increase energy levels, and improve self-esteem.
If you do not keep track of them regularly, it would lead to the following complications:
- Obesity Complications
