healthy body tips

Don't fall victim to fad "starvation" diets or potentially dangerous weight loss pills - in the long run your body will only end up retaining fat and losing lean tissue (muscle).
Lifestyle modifications such as nutrition, diet, and exercise are the preferred methods for achieving healthy body composition.

What is unhealthy body composition? Generally speaking, it refers to carrying too much fat in comparison to lean tissue (e.g. muscle)- often referred to as having a high fat-to-lean ratio.

How do you measure body composition? Well, it can't be measured by your bathroom scale. The following methods can be used to assess your body composition:

• Waist Circumference and Waist-to-Hip Ratio (WHR)
• Skin-Fold Thickness
• Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA)
  

With a targeted body composition program, you will not only lose unhealthy and unattractive fat - you will also minimize your risk of developing high blood pressure, high cholesterol, insulin resistance, hormone-related problems, and more!
