 NewsWHAT YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT FAT by Chuck Eier, M.S. C.S.C..
Fitness/Wellness Director

Fat, a simple
three-letter
word, is some-
thing which can
have significant
impact on our
physical and
mental well-be-
ing. We work
to keep fat off
our bodies. We
strive to avoid eating too much fat. Actu-
ally, having fat in our bodies is critical for
optimal function. Too much fat, especial-
ly certain types, creates health problems.
We need fat for multiple reasons. Fat
acts as fuel for all the processes of life go-
ing on in the body-cell growth, nutrient
absorption (think of fat-soluble vitamins),
and hormone production. We also use
fat as fuel for movement. In addition,
stored fat helps to protect internal organs
and to keep the body warm (insulation).
We have different types of fat-white and
brown. Each type of fat has a different
function.
White fat makes up more than 90 per-
cent of the fat in the body. This type of
fat has a low metabolic rate (burns very
few calories). Most believe white fat is
basically useless and serves mostly as
storage for extra calories. We can also measure the amount of
fat on/in the body. Body fat percent-
