Is body fat important?

Hi guys. I have nearly 16-17% body fat. If I move on lower body fat, like 12-13%, what are the benefits of this besides aesthetic looking?

Awesome, thanks for the downvotes for trying to bring clarity to a basic point of health.

You’re wrong AND aggressive, so you’re being downvoted. Get over yourself.

What am I wrong about?

And it’s not aggressive, it’s just commenting back against the overly emotional and highly anecdotal n = 1 nature of this sub.

Rational, evidence-based thought is limited to probably six people within this sub, all of who routinely catch downvotes for their responses.
