So far in this program, you’ve been able to view the quality of your metabolic health through the lens of your Vitality Score. But as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. And body composition provides you with that comprehensive picture.
DEXA can give you precise measurements of bone, fat, and lean mass and is the primary method that doctors use to screen for osteoporosis.
In PowerME™, we recommend DEXA for checking the following body comp metrics:
- Lean Mass: Includes muscles, as well as organs, and other non-fat tissues.
- Fat Mass: The amount of fat in your body, which can be broken down into two important components: subcutaneous fat and visceral fat. More on that in a bit.
- Bone Mineral Density: This refers to the minerals in your bones that contribute to their strength and your health.
In this short article we’ll provide an overview of body comp testing and how you can use DEXA in conjunction with the PowerME™ program.
