Have you ever thought about what our body is made of? What is the composition of our body, which you perceive as a monolithic whole and where countless developments take place?
Body composition; It consists of water, protein, fat, minerals, vitamins and a very small amount of carbohydrates. The presence of these substances in ideal proportions in the body affects your quality of life, your health, that is, your entire life.
Your body water rate should be 55-60% of your total weight. The amount of protein in your body covers 18-20% of your total weight. This protein rate may be higher in men. Men's muscle tone and quantity are always greater than women. This causes men's metabolism to work faster.
The ideal fat ratio in your body varies depending on gender. The fat percentage is between 15-16% in men and 21-24% in women. When the fat rate in your body increases, the water rate in its composition decreases. Even with the lowest calorie diet, you can never lose body fat. There must be at least 3% fat in your body. When we look at the mineral ratio, we see that there are around 4-5% minerals as a body component. This rate varies depending on age, gender and geographical region.
Black people have a higher mineral rate than white people
Carbohydrates, which constitute 1% of your body composition, are collected in your liver and muscles. Carbohydrates are of vital importance for the brain, especially during exercise.
Finally, vitamins are found in trace amounts in all cells of our body.
Vitamins and minerals cannot be produced in your body. You have to buy these items from outside. The source, of course, is the food you consume.
Why is it important for us to drink water? Because water is produced in very small amounts by our body. This occurs when food is converted into energy, and the entire water created by these processes does not even amount to a glass a day. On the other hand, you lose approximately 2 liters of water a day through your urine, sweat and breath.
