Body Fat/BMI
(Included in your initial evaluation)
A bioelectrical impedance machine is used to calculate your Body Mass Index. It determines your Body Mass Index – the relationship between your weight and height – by sending an undetectable electrical current through your body. BMI provides a reliable indicator of your body fat for most people and is used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems. The test also provides intra-cellular water capacity which determines the overall health of the cell and how well it communicates to your brain.
A person with a BMI of 18.5 to 24.9 is considered to be at a healthy weight. A person with a BMI of 25-29.9 is considered to be overweight. A BMI over 30 is considered obese. A BMI of 40 or above indicates that a person is morbidly obese. This can increases a person’s risk of death from any cause by 50%-150%.
Females should be between 57%-60% intra-cellular water capacity. Males should be between 60%-65% intrac-cellular water capacity. If you are below these markings, you are in need of cellular regeneration.
