Muscle Loss Awareness

Many people may not realize that as they age, they can lose significant muscle mass while maintaining the same weight, leading to a condition known as sarcopenia. This can result in a "skinny fat" appearance, which carries the same health risks as being overweight. Factors such as a sedentary lifestyle, poor diet, and stress contribute to muscle loss. Utilizing body composition tests, like a Dexa scan, can provide valuable insights into one's health and help identify if someone is over fat and under lean.
