An InBody scan is a bioelectrical impedance analysis of muscles, fat, water, and weight determined by sending a small, non-life-threatening electrical current through the body. It takes from 45 to 60 seconds to complete and does not hurt.
If You Know Something, Do Something
What if you could find out the diseases you are likely to get and stop them before they happen? InBody scanning is a 60-second procedure that measures visceral and subcutaneous fat percentage, hydration levels, skeletal muscle mass, and basal metabolic rate. Knowing fat levels is important to prevent diseases caused by an abundance of visceral fat, including:
- Cancer
- Dementia
- Fertility Issues
- Liver and Gallbladder Afflictions
- Osteoporosis
