Hello there! IntroductionLet us begin todays lesson with a special machine known as the bio impedance. Its trying to control a really cool machine that shows us about our own bodies and how healthy we are. We must be more informed about our health and choices any device providing useful information to make us better choice (pun intended) is good for every healthy being out there!
It looks good in star-style pictures thanks to the latest and improved bio impedance analysis that sends tiny electrical signals through our bodies. These signals are very weak and may travel at different speeds in various types of body tissues (such as fat or muscle). The machine sends these signals, and then measures how fast they travel. The machine measures how quickly these signals move, and then tells us the fraction of our body that is fat tissue, muscle tissue and various other types of human tissues. The process of doing this is known as body composition assesment and it helps us get an idea on what we are made up off inside.
We have all heard our parents or doctors talking about BMI (body mass index) sometimes. It is a unique number that indicates if our weight to height ratio makes us healthy. While useful, this is just a BM and the bio impedance machine gives us many more details of our bodies than with BMI alone. This allows us to differentiate between who has how many same pounds of fat as well in comparison with muscle which can help improve our understanding on health.
Now even many doctors and healthcare workers uses bio impedance machine to help their patient. A doctor, for example could use it to measure the water in a person's body. This is significant since water, of the right amount keeps our bodies functioning well. Both over and underhydration can be signs of medical problems. The doctor can then use this to detect serious health conditions that need treatment such as heart failure or kidney disease.
A bio impedance machine enables us with lots of information about our bodies and health. This information tells us to have goals for improving our wellness. If we learn there is fat in too much of the bodies, for instance, it might suggest focusing more on eating healthy foods like fruits and vegetables and getting some sort of exercise every day. The bio impedance machine, used regularly, will give us an indication of how well we are doing with our fitness and weight training.
This is important because bio impedance technology allows us to gain valuable data other than just weight and BMI in the health science journey. We can learn about our health risks and start to prevent them by watching how fat we are each week. If we find, for instance, that particular regions in the body like our organs have too much fat then it is a warning sign of developing problems such as diabetes or heart disease. This information can be used to help understand your personal risk, and if necessary take steps to reduce it for better overall health.
Before, so many were fixated in weight loss which was solely attributed to fad diets and too much workout. However, thanks to bio-impedance analysis we can personalize this a bit. We must build muscle if our body composition mandates that; contribute to more fat loss if need be. This is such a better idea as it helps identify what we really need.
