At birth we are given a miraculous and amazing body to serve us through this lifetime. Unfortunately, it does not come with an owner's manual and frequently we do not understand how and why our body works the way it does. However, if we look at environmental survival adaptation theory, the functioning of our bodies can be understood.
Genetically encoded for survival
Let us go back many thousands of years to mankind's hunter-gatherer days. The leading cause of death was starvation. Refrigeration, preservatives and large food storage capacity were not available to early man. Therefore, in order to survive, the body had to develop a highly efficient fat storage capability. This enabled man to carry his excess food with him on his body in the form of fat. In addition, the body had to have a way to access this fat and turn it into energy, so that the individual could do things necessary to maintain life.
Man needed muscle to engage in life-sustaining activities like hunting, gathering, fighting, running, jumping, and climbing. To survive times of shortage man needed fat. The proportion of fat to muscle depended on his activity level. The dilemma - the more muscle he possessed, the quicker he burned through his fat storage; the less muscle, the more difficulty he had coping with the demands of life.
