Expert Questions and Answers

What is a healthy body composition?
Body composition refers to the ratio of body fat to muscle. As your body's fat-to-lean ratio increases, the risks to developing disease increases. In many cases, unhealthy body composition leads to weight gain, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and other chronic diseases.

The following are the most common factors that contribute to an unhealthy body composition:
• “the Standard American Diet” a diet high in fat and high in sugar
• lack of exercise or physical activity
• hormonal disorders
• certain medications such as steroids, antidepressants and other drugs
• excess alcohol in-take
• certain medical conditions

How can I improve my body composition?
According to the National Institutes of Health, The American Heart Association and American Diabetic Society, lifestyle changes are key to achieving fat loss and healthy body composition. Proper nutrition can impact weight loss and your body composition. Starvation diets, weight loss pills and other fad diets can be dangerous and can produce fatigue, dizziness and weakness. Instead, a program such as First Line Therapy offers a safe, medically supervised, easy to follow plan that incorporates expert guidance, FDA approved medical food and high grade nutritional supplements to systematically improve your body composition and your overall health.
