Body Composition Analysis

Body composition analysis is a method used to measure the proportions of muscle, fat, bone, and water in your body. This analysis helps you understand your muscle-to-fat ratio, which is crucial for assessing your overall health. Having excessive body fat can increase your risk of conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and heart disease. By knowing your body composition, neXendo Wellness specialists can create a personalized wellness plan tailored to your specific health needs and goals.

At neXendo Wellness, your body composition analysis is conducted using our advanced Seca™ scale, which provides accurate and reliable measurements. During your appointment, your wellness specialist will:

• Review your medical history and health goals.
• Complete a physical exam to evaluate your current health status.
• Use various body composition analysis methods and fitness assessments to gain a comprehensive understanding of your body’s fat, muscle, and bone levels.

These methods are fast, simple, and painless, ensuring a smooth experience while gathering important data about your health.

The body composition analysis focuses on key metrics to give you an accurate picture of your physical health:

• Body fat percentage: Determines how much of your body is made up of fat.
• Lean mass: Measures the amount of muscle, bone, and water in your body.
• Visceral fat: Assesses the fat surrounding your internal organs, which can be more harmful to health.
• Basal metabolic rate (BMR): Estimates the number of calories your body needs at rest.

Understanding these metrics allows your wellness specialist to create a customized fitness plan, nutritional recommendations, and weight management strategies tailored to your specific needs.

Body composition analysis is an essential tool for achieving and maintaining optimal health. The benefits include:

• Reduced risk of chronic diseases: By knowing your fat-to-muscle ratio, you can take proactive steps to reduce the risks of conditions like heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
• Improved weight management: Body composition analysis helps you track fat loss and muscle gain more accurately than simply tracking weight.
• Better fitness and wellness planning: With accurate data, your wellness team can design a personalized fitness and nutrition plan tailored to your specific body composition.
• Improved motivation: Seeing your muscle gain and fat loss progress over time can help you stay motivated and committed to your health journey.

Yes, the Seca™ scale used at neXendo Wellness provides highly accurate and reliable measurements. Our specialists combine this advanced technology with comprehensive assessments to give you the best possible insights into your health. This ensures your wellness plan is based on scientifically proven data for the best results.

The body composition analysis process is quick and easy. Typically, the analysis takes just a few minutes, while the initial consultation (including medical history review and physical exam) can take about 30 minutes. The entire appointment is designed to be efficient and non-invasive.

The frequency of body composition analysis depends on your health goals. For most people, it’s beneficial to have a body composition analysis every 3 to 6 months to track progress and adjust fitness and nutrition plans as needed. If you are actively working on weight management, muscle building, or rehabilitation, more frequent assessments may be recommended.
