🌟 Understanding DXA: A Key to Better Bone Health! 🌟

Did you know that DXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) is the gold standard for measuring bone density? 🦴 Whether you're keeping track of your bone health or looking to prevent conditions like osteoporosis, a DXA scan provides precise insights into the strength of your bones.

💡 DXA is non-invasive, quick, and helps healthcare professionals assess your risk for fractures, guide treatment plans, and monitor progress over time. It's a game-changer in proactive health management!

Talk to your doctor about whether a DXA scan might be right for you. Make sure your referral lands at 360 Health and our team of certified imaging technologists will provide you with the best care during your scan.

Stay healthy, stay strong! 💪 Kia Manawanui, Kia Kaha!

Some excellent infographics just released from Sport Ireland on communication of weight and body composition

✅ a number on the scales does not determine performance

⚠️ Body Composition: more than just a number

NEW with a series of centred around:

1️⃣ Raising awareness and communication ✅

We are enjoying putting together some content to help fuel future swimmers 🫶

School is back and many of the young swimmers are walking to the pool after school and using the time before training starts to get some homework done.

It is also critical to get a pre-training meal/snack on board to support young athletes' energy needs for training, health and wellbeing. Plus, lunch was a long time ago and there may have been other activities during the day that put extra demand on their fuel stores, such as sports practices over lunch, a hard PE session, or a “socially competitive” game during lunch.

Here are my 3 top snacks kids can make the night before and pop in a separate lunchbox with a chiller pad in their swimming bags.

Really encourage your young swimmers to be self-responsible, learn life skills, and start putting their own pre-training lunch box together.
