SAN ANTONIO, Feb. 05, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As noted by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, measuring body composition helps prevent certain diseases and holds significant value to a person's health. Bio-electrical Impedance Analysis, or BIA, is a non-invasive way to measure the water and fat content of cells in the body with a mild electrical current. BIA devices were once able to analyze only parts of the body, but now measure the entire body at once thanks to technological progress. Dr. Phillips Chiropractic, Nutrition and Wellness in San Antonio Texas can measure BIA through these updated and accurate processes.
Determining the precise components of an individual's body for health and nutrition is a longstanding idea in the medical industry. Notable health authorities, such as the American Heart Association and the U.S. National Library of Medicine, show consistent findings that measuring body composition can do much to improve one's health and prevent chronic conditions such as obesity, heart disease and diabetes in an individual's nutrition program. BIA, or bio-electrical impedance analysis for short, measures composition through a mild electrical current in the body that sorts the fat and water content of cells by density. The process is non-invasive, moderately inexpensive, and does not subject the patient to radiation exposure.
In the past, BIA device technology was limited to measuring only portions of the body and estimating the rest. Now, new technologies have emerged: Five compartmental BIA, measures the entire body at once and delivers greater accuracy. Dr. Donald Phillips, DC, the owner and chiropractor of Dr. Phillips Chiropractic, Nutrition and Wellness in San Antonio Texas, is excited to announce that this new BIA device is now available at his practice.
"The information you get from BIA is invaluable to our nutrition programs," says Dr. Phillips. "I'm thrilled that we can offer this technology to our patients. Combined with chiropractic care, it allows us to customize a wellness strategy that is tailored for each individual because every body is quite literally different and unique. Nutrition programs with BIA can help improve heart condition and diabetes and promote a healthier life overall."
