What is weight?

listen What is weight?

What is weight? This article explains and defines weight for all to understand. First of all, weight is divided into three categories: water, muscle and fat.

Muscles are difficult to change in weight; even those heavy weight lifters can, at the most, gain 1 pound of muscle weight a month. Muscle weight loss is not easy easier. Even someone that does nothing will not generally lose more than one pound of muscle weight a month.

Fat weight loss is also difficult. Even when you are not very active, people generally lose one pound a month. However, gaining fat weight all depends on how much of the wrong food a person puts into their body. If they put into much protein into their body, for instance, since their body cannot store protein, the body converts the protein into fat for a time that it can use it.

Water weight can be gained or lost in minutes. If people drink the required amount of water, their body will distribute the water necessary which is between 60-70 percent. When people start to eat better food, which leads to toxin elimination, the water in the body that is used to balance with the toxins to dilute it starts to leave the body. Meaning that when people lose a lot of weight on those popular diets, they are really losing water weight, not so much fat weight.  Read more »

What do monkeys do for exercise? Do cheetahs get enough exercise from trying to catch their meals? Did you know that most animals catch 1 out of 10 attempts of their meals?

Could TV and modern forms of entertainment be injuring us by keeping us away from physical exercise? Could using our own body weight be enough to keep us fit?
