Why BMI doesn't tell the full story.

BMI was designed as a population-level screening tool, not a personalised health assessment.

It only uses total height and weight - it can’t distinguish between fat, muscle or bone, and doesn’t show where fat is stored. As a result, people with the same BMI can have very different health profiles!

DXA body composition scanning provides a more detailed picture by measuring fat mass, lean muscle and fat distribution. This allows health and fitness decisions to be based on what’s actually in the body, not just total weight.

For people starting a new health programme, accurate measurements can make a huge difference in goals, planning and progress tracking.

The scales only tell you how heavy you are - not what that weight is made up of or what's changing.

DXA body composition scanning shows whether weight changes are coming from fat loss, muscle gain, or both. That distinction matters hugely if you're serious about monitoring changes in your body's health and performance.

Book a DXA Body Comp scan to get an accurate understanding of:
-Body Fat %
-Lean Mass %
-Visceral Fat levels

Strong bones need more than workouts; they need less sitting.

A review by the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) shows that across all ages, even light daily activity protects bone health, while too much sedentary time quietly raises the risk of fractures.

Standing breaks, walking meetings or daily stretches can make a measurable difference over time.

Strong bones need more than workouts; they need less sitting. A sweeping review shows that across all ages, even light daily activity protects bone health, while too much sedentary time quietly raises the risk of fractures.

Osteoporosis isn’t just a women’s condition.

While it’s often thought of as something that only affects women, osteoporosis impacts men too. 1 in 5 men over 50 will experience a fracture due to osteoporosis.

Men are less likely to be diagnosed early, which means fractures can be the first sign of underlying bone loss. Bone health awareness and early testing matter for everyone!

How strong are your bones? Do you know?

If you’re over 50, it’s important to understand your bone health. Bone loss often happens silently with no symptoms, until a fracture occurs.

World Osteoporosis Day is a reminder to make bone checks part of regular health care, just like heart or blood pressure checks. Early detection through a bone density (DXA) scan can help prevent fractures and protect your independence for years to come. Don't leave it too late.
