Although you might have heard of body composition, you might not
understand what it refers to and why it’s so important.
Body composition tells us what the body is made up of, looking
at everything from water, body fat to lean muscle mass.
There are several reasons why body composition is important.
After all, measuring body composition allows us to improve our
health, fitness and quality of life. Unlike simply measuring
weight, understanding body composition lets us put together
meaningful plans on how to reach our fitness and health goals
going forward.
To help you find out more, in this guide, Bodystat look closer
at what body composition is and why it’s so important.
What is body composition?
As we have mentioned, body composition describes what our bodies
are made up of. This tells us the proportion of fat as well as
non-fat mass in the body.
So, what are the differences between the two?
Body fat is found in under the skin or around the organs.
Although ‘essential fats’ are necessary to provide us with
energy, protect organs and regulate important hormones, some
people can have an excess of non-essential body fat. This can
cause a variety of problems for the body, including obesity,
tiredness, diabetes and heart failure.
Non-fat mass, or lean tissue, on the other hand, refers to our
bones, muscles, organs, tissues and water. These are the things
which burn calories for energy, which body fat does not do.
Body composition measures these elements to tell us what are
bodies are made up of. It shows us changes in fat, muscle mass
and body fat percentage. This helps us understand our health
levels and where we need to improve.
What about BMI?
Many of those considering losing weight or measuring how healthy
they are will start by calculating their Body Mass Index (BMI.)
However, BMI is not the best way to accurately monitor your
health. After all, BMI is worked out as someone’s weight divided
by their height squared. BMI does not measure how much excess
fat we hold opposed to bone and muscle.
Nowadays, BMI is widely considered as simplified and outdated.
Measuring body composition, on the other hand, is a far more
effective way to analyse body measurements including body fat
percentage, water percentage and lean mass.
So, if you are looking to improve your health and fitness, it’s
always better to focus on body composition over BMI.
Why is body composition important?
There are several reasons why understanding body composition is
key.
Firstly, it is crucial for those looking to develop their
fitness.
As we have discussed, unlike a BMI calculator which does not
differentiate between fat and muscle mass, a body composition
test can accurately measure the quantity of fat, lean muscle and
water you have in your body.
Being able to track measurements as you lose fat or develop
muscle plays a crucial role in planning your fitness regime and
reaching peak performance.
The more you understand about your body composition, the easier
it is to create a plan to loose excess fat and build up muscle.
Understanding your body composition also helps to ensure that
you don’t lose too much fat, which can equally cause a range of
problems for the body.
Understanding your body composition is also important when it
comes to health.
After all, it is recognised that too much body fat can be a
serious health risk, leading to problems such as high blood
pressure, heart disease, type two diabetes and a range of other
conditions.
Body composition plays an important role in understanding your
health and wellness, measuring the differences between leanness
and too much fat. This allows you to accurately assess your
health and plan your lifestyle and diet accordingly.
