Welcome to Dieting-Weight-Loss.net
Genetics plays an important role in fat distribution of a person but there are some other factors that should be taken into consideration e.g. gender, diet, environment.
We'll see the fat distribution and the way it affects our health and fitness level.
Fat Distribution
Line diagrams describe fat distribution for each shape- Gynoid, Android, Ovoid etc..
The android shape is more common among men where the gynoid is more common among women that are pre-menopausal. It is important to note how the environment, genetics and various other factors can affect our body shapes.
- The android tends to store body fat around the tummy and upper body which considered to be more harmful.
- The gynoid shape is known for fat storage around the hips, bottom and upper thighs.
- The ovoid is more of an all-over general coverage of body fat.
Visceral Fat
This fat stores around the internal organs of body. It is more common in people
suffering from obesity than someone who has a low percentage of body fat,
however genetics may also have some affect on it as well. Large amounts
of body fat around the abdominal area is more commonly listed for visceral
fat.
