Know your body .. What are the fats under the skin and whether it is harmful or useful
Your body contains two basic types of fat: subcutaneous (subcutaneous) fat and visceral fat (around the organs).
The amount of subcutaneous fat you develop according to Healthline depends on genetic factors, as well as lifestyle factors such as physical activity and diet.
People with a large amount of subcutaneous fat often have a large amount of visceral fat.
Why do we have fat under the skin and does it matter?
The upper layer of your skin consists of the epidermis, the middle layer is the dermis, and the subcutaneous fat is the deepest layer.
Subcutaneous fat has five main functions:
It's the only way your body stores energy.
Works as a pad to protect your muscles and bones from the impact of strikes or falls.
Serve as a passage of nerves and blood vessels between your skin and your muscles.
It isolates your body, helping it regulate the temperature.
The dermis attaches to the muscles and bones with its own connective tissue.
