Free Body Fat Analysis Available In South Florida – Check Out The Details. Baptist Health South Florida is offering a Free Body Fat Analysis.

Why is it even important to know about our body fat? What I’ve learned and want to share with you is that our weight isn’t the only way to measure our health. The numbers on the scale cannot tell us which pounds come from muscle and which pounds comes from fat. Here are a few benefits that body fat has on our bodies.

1. Our body fat helps us function as an efficient machine, it helps absorb the fat soluble vitamins (A,D,E &K).
2. It has a cushioning effect on our organs and works as a shock absorber for our joints and bones.
3. Scientist also believe body fat also helps boost our immune system
4. Helps us maintain healthy hair and skin

 

So knowing our body fat percentage will help us learn where we are in terms of our health. There are adverse effects of too much body fat on our bodies. Here’s a few important facts to know.

1. Excess body can lead to obesity
2. Can cause breathing difficulties
3. Raises risk of heart disease
4. Raises risk of type 2 Diabetes
5. Raises risk of Stroke
6. Raises risk of some cancers

I don’t know about you, but FREE is my favorite flavor and anytime free medical testing is offered, I’m usually interested. With the rising costs of health care and insurance these days, it’s great to know many of our local hospitals are working to help us improve our health by offering wonderful free services.
