Biological Age Markers

Cellular Health Analysis plus a physical and some blood tests determine many of the biological ‘markers’ of aging. This is a very important part of any anti-aging program.

BIOLOGICAL MARKERS OF AGING (BIA)

These are measurable, objective markers that are indicative of the aging process. Most importantly they can be IMPROVED to an optimal level with diet and exercise.

Lean Body Mass
Muscle Strength
Phase Angle (indicates quality and quantity of cells)
Fluid Index (body’s hydration status)
Body Fat Percentage
Aerobic Capacity
Blood Sugar Tolerance
Cholesterol/HDL ratio
Blood Pressure
Bone Mineral Density

CELLULAR HEALTH ANALYSIS

This is a scientifically proven test which measures some of these parameters.

It is a safe, painless test which takes at the most five minutes to perform.

You will find out:

How your cells are
Am I drinking enough water (almost all people who live to a hundred report drinking a lot of water)
Do I have too much or not enough fat
Do I have too much or not enough muscle
Do I have inflammation or toxicity in my body
What is my biological age

WHO IS IT FOR?

Everyone

Are you interested in slowing the aging process, restoring your vitality and improving your health?

You believe you are fit; you exercise regularly, eat well and generally take care of yourself and you want to find out if you really are at your best.

You know you are not fit you maybe overweight, do not exercise regularly, tired feeling old and want to feel better. You need a diet and exercise program tailored to you

IS IT EXPENSIVE?

No the benefit of knowing what you need to do to improve your health and vitality will save you money.

Cellular Health Analysis Interpretation Report

For Joe Bloggs Date12/01/04

IMPEDANCE DATA

Phase Angle = indication of cellular quality and quantity = 6.6 Very good

Impedance Index = Quality and quantity of muscle tissue = 1374.6 Good

BODY COMPOSITION

Fat Mass = -4.0kg

Active Tissue Mass = all cellular tissue excludes fat = -9.0kg

% ideal Body Weight (ideal around 110 - 115%) = 96.5%

FLUID DISTRIBUTION

Total Body Water = 50.9% Too dry

Intracellular Water = 53.8% OK

Extracellular Water = 46.2% OK

CELLULAR HEALTH INDICATORS

Body Composition Index = composite cellular age = 36.7 Very good

% of Expected Phase Angle = active tissue quality = 105.8% Very good

Fluid Retention Factor % = indicates inflammation = 4.6% Good

RECOMMENDATIONS

Overall a good report just a couple of areas to look at.

1. Although total body water is within the recommended range it is better if it is at the upper end of the range – drink more water especially during hot weather. This applies to all readings. A fluid rehydration supplement like Endura or Fibroplex Plus will help.

2. Body Composition low in fat and muscle mass ideally like to equalise these. One of the major forces in aging is muscle loss so it is important to maintain and if necessary build muscle. Recommend muscle building program using resistance exercises and a creatine supplement like Myobolic and Endura Opti

3. Specifics of exercise program:
