       Knowing all about your body composition can help you determine
       the general state of your overall health. Even if you appear to
       be healthy on the outside and weigh in at a seemingly normal
       weight on the scale, you may still have an unhealthy or altered
       body composition.
       Body composition is the body’s relative amount of body fat to
       fat-free mass, the latter of which is made up of your organs,
       bones, muscle, and body tissue. If your ratio of body fat is
       much higher than your fat-free mass, then you could be putting
       yourself at risk for severe health problems such as obesity,
       high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, fatigue,
       cancer, and more.
       Although body fat is generally associated with poor health, some
       fat is actually necessary for overall good health, as it can
       help protect internal organs, regulate hormones, and provide us
       with energy. Body fat should typically make up about 5% of total
       body weight in men and about 12% of total body weight in women.
       Factors that can lead to unhealthy body composition
       In the United States, more than one-third of all adults are
       obese and have unhealthy body composition. As obesity rates
       continue to grow, so will the rates for major diseases and
       illnesses such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and
       more.
       Here are some of the most important factors that can lead to
       altered body composition:
       Lack of exercise and physical activity
       Eating large portion sizes and overeating in general
       High-fat, high-sugar diet
       Lack of whole foods in the diet such as fruits, vegetables,
       nuts, seeds, legumes
       Excessive alcohol intake
       Benefits of having a healthy body composition
       By reducing your overall amount of body fat, you can improve
       your body composition and overall quality of life, as well as
       extend your lifespan.
       Here are just some of the benefits of having a healthy body
       composition:
       Normal blood pressure level
       Improved quality of sleep
       Improved mood and self-confidence
       Increased energy and endurance throughout the day
       Reduced pain in joints, hips, and lower back
       Improved blood circulation — leading to lower risk for heart
       disease
       Higher fertility rates and lower risk for pregnancy-related
       complications
       Improved breathing, respiration, and lung function
       Improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity
