In spiritual practices of mind, body and soul you are told that your body is a vessel that you need to protect and provide care for. Looking good directly relates to feeling good and being happy.

Our bodies store fat cells which are a basic importance of our living and are needed for the functioning of our bodies as they protect our body in many ways and are an important survival component. Each living body needs fat cells in them to survive because, fat can be used as energy by your body; most of the food you eat do contain a percentage of fat within in them as it plays an important role in your daily macronutrient intake.

“Everything should be taken with a pinch of salt , as too much ruins everything”, this is true with fat as many result to an unhealthy eating habit of too much fat which affects their living body and makes it toxic in that your hormones have to respond differently to the excess of fat you have consumed.

If your body is not proportionately relative to the theory, it means your body does not connect with what is in balance of nature. The average human being needs to be in the healthy average rate of fat percentage and try to stay away from obesity and the unhealthy range.

Professionally it is optimal for a sport competitor to try and achieve a good ration between their muscle mass and their body fat percentage to enhance their performance. Physique models also follow this ideology by trying to have more muscle mass than body fat to display defined muscles with details, just like bodybuilders do.
