Why do you think body composition focuses on the ratio of fatty tissue to other body tissue? Why is body composition not related

kykrilka [37]

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>

Cullinary Scenario: Your team has been selected to cater a dinner party for 10 people. Among the group is a Jew, two who are veg

Karolina [17]

Well, because of the Jew, you would want to make sure the meals on your menu are kosher. For the vegetarians, make sure there are menu options without meat. For the person allergic to dairy products, add options that are dairy- free and lactose free. Searching up heart healthy items that pair with these factors will help you find what to add the menu. Hope this helps.
