The reason is not the amount of body fat, but rather the fact that women’s cooling system is far more efficient then men’s. Their arteries and veins are also closer to the surface to dissipate heat better. This is necessary due to the heat generated by the dividing cells during pregnancy. There is actually enough heat involved to harm the woman’s body if she could not get rid of it.Makes it rough during the winter though…
From my buddy, Wiki:“The percentage of essential body fat for women is greater than that for men, due to the demands of childbearing and other hormonal functions. The percentage of essential fat is 3–5% in men, and 8–12% in women (referenced through NASM). Storage body fat consists of fat accumulation in adipose tissue, part of which protects internal organs in the chest and abdomen. The minimum recommended total body fat percentage exceeds the essential fat percentage value reported above.”.Note: I’m above average and expect to survive the seven years of Egyptian famine. That already came and went? Well I guess I did, then.

I had to ask my better-half. She informed me that women typically have twice as much body fat than men.

Too bad the extra body fat doesn’t keep us warm.

A lot of men who have reached their golden years have quite a few inches added to their front side.

I’ve been thinking way too loud for years now. Usually have to watch that, but sometimes it’s handy.
