Despite everyone trying to lose it, fat is not all bad. In fact, it is actually very important for our body as it regulates energy to power through our daily routines as well as to maintain bodily functions. However, when accumulated excessively, fats could increase health risks and the extra weight can limit your daily activities. To help you understand more, we have listed down some vital facts about your body fats.
1. YOU BREATHE OUT FATS WHEN YOU BURN IT!
Calories from your food intake act like fuel. Your body burns calories to provide energy for daily activities as well as bodily processes such as digestion, hair growth and even breathing! Any excess calorie intake will then be stored as body fats. You can burn those extra pounds of fats with the right amount of physical activities and a healthy diet. Interestingly, burned fat will then be breathed out – well, not literally. When energy is used and your fats are burned, the chemical conversions they go through (called metabolic processes) will basically create a by-product of carbon dioxide and water that you eventually breathe out, urinate or sweat out.
2. BELLY FAT IS MEDICALLY MORE DANGEROUS THAN OTHER AREAS
Having excess fat is bad in general but some areas pose higher risk of chronic diseases than the others. As cute as it looks, having belly fat (also called visceral fat) is more dangerous than you thought it would be. It is metabolically active and has been strongly linked to chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart attacks, stroke and many more.
3. LOSING WEIGHT DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE LOSING FATS
