If fat is stores of energy, then why aren’t fat people more energetic than skinny people?
In: 302
The same reason a bus with 10x the horsepower and 50x the gas (energy) is slower (less energetic) than a motorcycle. Most of the extra energy and power is used moving the extra mass.
Also large amounts of body fat alter one’s hormonal profile that leads to a cascade of devastating effects. Increases in cortisol. Decreases in testosterone with a subsequent increase in estrogen. Why do you think viagra is so popular now a days. This also goes both ways. A lack of sufficient body fat also alters your hormonal profile. Very athletic women who have little to no body fat will cease to have normal periods and can even become infertile. Fat is a living organ and therfore has huge impacts on one’s overall health.
Probably because A) they’re likely eating shitty food that makes them feel lethargic and B) because they have a lot more body weight to drag around, which can be taxing on their energy levels.
