Analysing Your Body Type

Does being thin mean you’re underweight and does being fat suggest that you’re overweight? If you’ve always wondered about your body type and how to stay fit and healthy, LoKAHI Wellness in Kilsyth South VIC provides programs to help you understand how your body composition effects the state of your health.

What is a Body Composition Analyser?

This tool provides comprehensive information about the water distribution throughout your body and how it affects your health. It also lists how much lean mass and fat is contained in each part of your body. This tells you whether your body type is underweight, overweight, muscular, fit or obese.

How Does it Work?

The Body Composition Analyser is a machine that scans your body for the following information:

• Overall weight
• Skeletal muscle mass
• Body fat mass
• Body mass index
• Percentage of fat

The machine employs the Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) method that sends a small alternating current throughout the body, which changes according to the water level contained in the body.

In addition to the amount of fat and muscle mass in your body, the results of the scan will tell you your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR), which specifies how much energy you need to sustain vital functions while your body is at rest. This information can serve as your personal nutrition guide.
