Fat is a quite simple component to measure. Increased or above normal/ average body fat has been proven to be linked with many health risks.<span> <span>Body weight is not always an accurate indication of body composition. If you were to equate an NFL running back who is 5' 10" and weighs 200 lbs, to a 5'10" 200 lbs. banker, there body composition would be VERY unalike although there weight is exactly the same. Of course the football player is healthier, because he is perhaps carrying one third of the body fat as the banker of the same weight. Maintaining that muscle mass would also infer healthy habits like nutrition and exercise.</span></span>

Why cannabis not allowed in colleges
timama [110]

Answer:

Due to the cognitive effects it has. There are peer reviewed studies that show a correlation between cannabis use and a decrease motor and cognitive function over time. It also stunts brain growth in people under the age of 25 since the brain is still growing until then. Also, cannabis is still federally illegal so universities usually abide by federal laws. Cannabis smoking also causes a distinct smell that sticks to things and second hand smoking is still a risk.
