Santa Claus is bringing the most cutting edge, state of the art body analysis equipment available to Atlanta Age Management Medicine.

This BODY COMPOSITION ANALYZER will be available to my current patients beginning in January 2011.

It provides a full body analysis with a print out of results.

The Body Composition Analyzer provides a print out in just 20 seconds that you can take home with you with readings for:

Current Weight

Ideal Target Body Weight

Ideal Target Body Fat

Degree of Obesity: Calculated as (weight - Ideal body weight) / Ideal body weight × 100.

Impedance

Body Fat %: Body fat percentage is the amount of body fat as a proportion of your body weight. Reducing excess levels of body fat has shown to reduce the risk of certain conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease,diabetes and cancer.

Fat Mass: Total weight of fat mass in the body.

Fat Free Mass: Fat Free Mass is comprised of muscle, bone, tissue, water, and all other fat free mass in the body.

Amount of fat needed to lose

Total Body Water %: Water plays a vital role in many of the body's processes and is found in every cell, tissue and organ. Maintaining a healthy total body water percentage will ensure the body functions efficiently and will reduce the risk of developing associated health problems.

Muscle Mass: This feature indicates the weight of muscle in your body.Muscles play an important role as they act as an engine in consuming energy. As your muscle mass increases, your energy consumption increases helping you reduce excess body fat levels and lose weight in a healthy way.

Physique Rating: This feature assesses your physique according to the ratio of body fat and muscle mass in your body. As you become more active and reduce the amount of body fat, your physique rating will also change accordingly. Even though your weight may not change, your muscle mass and body fat levels may be changing making you healthier and at lower risk of certain diseases.

BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate)- how many calories a day do you really need?Having a higher basal metabolism will increase the number of calories used and help to decrease the amount of body fat. A low basal metabolic rate will make it harder to lose body fat and overall weight.

Metabolic Age- how young or old are you really?This feature calculates your basal metabolic rate and indicates the average age associated with that type of metabolism.Increased exercise will build healthy muscle tissue, which will improve your metabolic age.

Bone Mass-Bone mineral amount included in the entire bone

Visceral Fat Rating- Visceral fat is the dangerous fat that is in the internal abdominal cavity, surrounding the vital organs in the trunk (abdominal) area.Ensuring that you have healthy levels of visceral fat my reduce the risk of certain diseases such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and the risk of type 2 diabetes.

BMI- body mass index: Calculated with "weight (kg) / height (m)2"

This equipment can be used in the screening of certain adult diseases and conditions related to body weight and composition.

This technology can be used in the monitoring and prevention of conditions caused by excessive deposits of fat such as Type 2 diabetes, hyperlipidemia, cholelithiasis and fatty liver.

It can be used in the monitoring of changes in an individuals body composition, related to differences in the ratio of fat tissue to lean muscle mass.

It can be used to assess the effectiveness of individual nutrition and exercise programs for health and physical fitness.

It can be used to set target goals and help you achieve them by monitoring your progress.

This easy-to-use noninvasive technology will allow me to provide my current patients with the most up to date information regarding their health.

I have reserved time on Friday, January 7,2011 and Friday, January 14, 2011 for 15 minute appointments so that my current patients can have a New Year's Assessment to help them reach their New Year's Goals.

If you are currently my patient, please contact me to schedule your complimentary assessment.

This technology will be available to my new and current patients at no additional cost when they come to my office for their initial office consultation or their yearly office reevaluation or at any other time that they would like a reassessment throughout the year.
