Body composition measurement is a useful way to monitor the internal state of body and, in particular, the changes occurring within it. In addition to weight, the measurement determines the amount of muscle, fat, and water in the body, providing a wealth of information about the body’s health quickly and efficiently.
The measurement provides precise data on all the components that make up the body: fluids, minerals, proteins, and fat. With body composition measurement, it is possible to detect the amount of visceral fat, which is particularly harmful to health. Visceral fat can be indicated by being overweight, especially by excess weight around the waist. This type of fat accumulates particularly in the liver, disrupting its function and potentially causing conditions such as fatty liver disease. Excess visceral fat is significantly linked to lifestyle diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and intestinal problems.
The accumulation of visceral fat in the body can be prevented through lifestyle choices, such as:
Maintaining a healthy and balanced diet
Engaging in regular physical activity
Avoiding stress
Reducing the use of substances like alcohol
Body composition measurement results are considered a good indicator of overall health. The results are straightforward and help in making smart choices in daily life. Through the measurement results, the importance of exercise and lifestyle changes for well-being becomes tangible, presented as numbers and charts that make it easy to understand cause-and-effect relationships.
Why Choose Bodymaja’s Body Composition Measurement?
Bodymaja’s body composition measurement is based on the bioimpedance method, where a light electrical current is passed through the body. Bioimpedance measurement is a superior method, providing detailed and individualized reports on nutritional status and health with a level of accuracy that is unmatched by other methods in terms of breadth, ease, and repeatability.
“I find Bodymaja’s InBody service affordable and user-friendly. No need to book appointments. The measurement device is modern and of the latest model, and the facility is very clean. The report’s explanations and data fields are extremely useful and, in their completeness, even better than, for example, a gym trainer’s interpretation.” – Jukka
