A nutritional body scan is a comprehensive assessment of an individual's body composition, providing valuable insights into their overall health and fitness. This advanced technology uses a DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) machine to scan the body, providing a detailed breakdown of body fat, lean mass, bone density, and other essential metrics. At Tano Performance Group, we utilise this cutting-edge technology to help high-income professionals optimise their physical appearance, body fat, physique, and overall well-being.

How Does a Nutritional Body Scan Work?

The DEXA machine uses a low-level X-ray beam to scan the body, emitting two different energy levels to measure bone density and soft tissue composition. The scan takes approximately 10-15 minutes to complete, during which the individual lies comfortably on a table while the machine scans their entire body. The resulting data is then analysed to provide a comprehensive report outlining body composition, bone density, and other key health metrics.

What Does a Nutritional Body Scan Measure?

A nutritional body scan measures a range of essential health metrics, including:

- Body fat percentage: The percentage of body fat compared to lean mass, providing insight into overall body composition.

- Lean mass: The amount of muscle mass, bone, and other lean tissues in the body.

- Bone density: The density of bones, which is essential for assessing osteoporosis risk and monitoring bone health.

- Visceral fat: The amount of fat surrounding internal organs, which is linked to increased risk of chronic diseases.

- Muscle mass: The amount of muscle tissue in the body, which is essential for overall health and fitness.

- Water percentage: The percentage of water in the body, which is vital for hydration and overall health.

Benefits of a Nutritional Body Scan

A nutritional body scan offers numerous benefits for individuals seeking to improve their health and fitness, including:

- Personalised nutrition and training plans: With a detailed understanding of body composition, individuals can create tailored plans to achieve their health and fitness goals.

- Enhanced weight management: By monitoring body fat percentage and lean mass, individuals can make informed decisions about their diet and exercise routine.

- Improved body shape and physique: With a clear understanding of body composition, individuals can focus on building lean muscle mass and reducing body fat.

- Early detection of health risks: A nutritional body scan can identify potential health risks, such as osteoporosis or visceral fat, allowing for early intervention and prevention.
