The Benefits of a Body Scan

A body scan allows you to track your overall health. It assists us in seeing the breakdown of lean muscle, body and visceral fat (the fat around your vital organs), skeletal mass and hydration.

Our goal is not only for you to experience fat loss, but also to maintain or even increase lean muscle. This will help to improve your energy expenditure, as well as maintain good bone density, joint health and mobility – all of which may assist in weight loss.

The scan is able to determine if you are well hydrated or even dehydrated. This is important as dehydration may lead to low energy levels, poor sleep, lack of concentration and an increase in appetite, which may lead to an increase in weight. Being well hydrated will allow your body to work more efficiently, as well as eliminate unwanted toxins.

Basing your success on weight alone can be deceiving as you may be losing large amounts of lean muscle and hydration, rather than fat. This is particularly true if you are not eating enough protein or have dropped your caloric intake too low.

By breaking down your bodies composition we can keep an eye on each of these individual areas to ensure that you are increasing your overall health, not just simply losing weight.
