As if not already known, there are biological differences between women and men. These differences can provide a guideline for exercise, diet, and general aspects of health.

For example: The body fat percentage of women is naturally higher than that of men. On average – 27% versus 15% – for fit individuals. This knowledge alone can be a big help in setting exercise and weight loss goals, if the desired outcome is the reduction of body fat. This difference should be acknowledged by women trying to reduce body fat. It helps in setting a more realistic goal, and also helps in avoiding guilt.

The hormonal changes that women experience during the aging process are considerably different from those that men experience. Changes in both physiology and menstrual cycles can even occur in young women. For example: There were frequent occurrences of women in World War II concentration camps who stopped having normal menstrual cycles, due to the effects of starvation. Women athletes, with a high level of training, will often experience the same effect, resulting from very low percentages of body fat (and other causes).
