The Hidden Health Risks You Can’t See on a Scale
Traditional weight measurements like BMI often misclassify health risks, failing to distinguish fat from muscle or assess fat distribution. Visceral fat—hidden deep around organs—raises the risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain cancers.
Lack of information about body composition can lead to misguided health decisions, delaying crucial interventions. Without precise data, people may overlook muscle loss, metabolic inefficiencies, and long-term health concerns, impacting overall well-being. Understanding what your body is truly made of is essential for effective weight management, disease prevention, and long-term health optimization.
A Body Composition Test Solves Such Health Risks
- Fat vs. Muscle Precision: Unlike BMI, this test accurately measures fat and muscle mass, preventing misclassification of health risks.
- Metabolic Rate Analysis: Measures Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) to determine precise calorie needs, ensuring effective nutrition planning for fat loss or muscle gain.
- Muscle Retention Monitoring: Tracks lean mass over time, allowing adjustments in protein intake and exercise to prevent age-related muscle loss.
- Data-Driven Health Strategies: Helps our professionals tailor fitness and diet plans to improve your metabolic function and body composition safely.
