Body Fat: Some things you need to understand about it
Most people do not understand fat. We have been taught by our society, and health related industries that fat is bad.
Fat is not bad or good. Fat is an important part of our body.
Too much fat is bad. Too little fat is bad. The goal is to reach and maintain an appropriate body fat percentage, that supports your health and fitness needs and goals. And that number is different for each individual.
Obesity is a serious health problem that reduces life expectancy by increasing one’s risk of developing coronary artery disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, obstructive pulmonary disease, osteoarthritis, and certain types of cancer.

Body composition is a key component of an individual’s health and physical fitness profile.
Obesity is a serious health problem that reduces life expectancy by increasing one’s risk of developing coronary artery disease, hypertension, type 2 diabetes, obstructive pulmonary disease, osteoarthritis, and certain types of cancer.
Too little body fat also poses a health risk because the body needs a certain amount of fat for normal physiological functions.
Essential lipids, such as phospholipids, are needed for cell membrane formation. Nonessential lipids, like triglycerides found in adipose tissue, provide thermal insulation and store metabolic fuel (free fatty acids).
Essential lipids, such as phospholipids, are needed for cell membrane formation. Nonessential lipids, like triglycerides found in adipose tissue, provide thermal insulation and store metabolic fuel (free fatty acids).
In addition, lipids are involved in the transport and storage of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) and in the functioning of the nervous system, the menstrual cycle, and the reproductive system, as well as in growth and maturation during pubescence.
Thus, too little body fatness, as found in individuals with eating disorders (e.g., anorexia nervosa), exercise addiction, and certain diseases such as cystic fibrosis, can lead to serious physiological dysfunction.
Recommended body fat percentages vary based upon which chart that you look at. Generally accepted numbers for recommended body fat percentages for healthy, active adults, between 35-55 years old are 7% - 18% for males, and 20% - 33% for females.
You should base the numbers on your health and fitness needs and goals. All of the charts are for reference and are not law or gospel. Find out what is right for you.

Pemmican The Ultimate Survival Food
The next survival crisis, which we may face soon, will be nothing more than what our ancestors called daily life.
The grid could go down and then we would have no electrical power, no refrigerators, no Internet, no computers, no TV, no hyperactive law enforcement, and no Publix or Walmart.
When the grocery stores close down, and the food shelves go empty, food will become a serious issue for most people.
Except for those who know how to make pemmican!
Pemmican was created by the natives of North America, and was used by Indian scouts, as well as early western explorers.
These people were highly mobile, and covered a lot of distance. They needed food that was nutritious and would not spoil.
Pemmican answered the call. You can store it for a long time without refrigeration. And it can be packaged in any way that you need, so that it can be carried easily during movement.
Learning how to make pemmican is just one of the many survival techniques used by our forefathers.
These precious life saving techniques are becoming lost to time.
When things go bad in today's world, we will all become frontiersman and pioneers again.
And we will need to learn the same skills that our grandfathers, and great grandfathers knew before us.
Click this link and watch this super informative video on how to make pemmican.
Start learning the skills that you, and your family, will depend upon during the next dark times.
We all have much to learn from our ancestors.
Pemmican is a great place to start.
And if you want to learn more about old school frontier and pioneer survival techniques, check out this great book:
The Lost Ways.
Stay safe,
