The Benefits of Healthy

Body Composition

The association of altered body composition with

chronic health conditions is so strong that in 1995

the National Institutes of Health convened an Expert

Panel to encourage programs for improving body

composition.

By reducing body fat, a healthy body composition may:

Improve insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance

Improve blood circulation in all parts of the body,

thereby reducing the risk of heart disease and

stroke

Promote healthy blood pressure and cholesterol

levels

Reduce respiratory infections and breathlessness,

and improve lung function

Improve quality of sleep

Relieve some of the strain placed on your knees,

hips, and lower back—which can reduce pain

Increase energy and endurance

Reduce the risk of certain pregnancy

complications

Improve mood and self-confidence

Plain and simple...

A healthy body

composition can improve the overall

quality of your life!
