What is "body fat distribution"?

Body fat distribution is simply how your body fat is distributed or dispersed throughout your body. The two examples are the pear shape (and that's where you carry it more in the lower half, around the buttocks, the hips, the thigh, and the lower abdomen) and then the apple shape (more around the chest, the shoulders, and the back). Unfortunately, the apple shape contributes more to heart disease and stress on the cardiovascular and respiratory system simply because the amount of weight that the person has to carry, for example, in their breathing at night when they're trying to sleep. That can lead to more susceptibility to sleep apnoea and things of that nature as well. Although the pear shape may not be desirable from an aesthetic perspective, overall it is a better weight distribution.
