Women should have between 14 and 22 percent, Petersen said. “Body fat is used to cushion organs and help in nerve transmission, and one thing some people don’t realize is that we (people in general) have a lot of fat in our brains,” Petersen continued. Petersen said that people who want to decrease the level of fat in their bodies can do aerobic excersizes and watch the amount of fat that they take into their systems. WATCH OUT, DUCK!
