Debunking 3 of the most talked-about body composition myths
At Evolt, we’re all about the facts so it’s little wonder we want to provide access to the right information when it comes to body composition. Let’s face it, physical and lifestyle realities make modern-day weight management hard enough, and then factor in all the misinformation you’re likely to find online.
But if you know fact from fiction, you’re off to a good start! Read on to see what the 3 biggest myths about body composition are, and how you can toss them aside.
Myth No. 1
There’s A 100% Accurate Method To Know Your Body Composition
Body composition is certainly an element to consider when stepping on a scale, and weight alone doesn’t tell you everything you need to know. Your body composition is an important factor in evaluating where your health stands, and although our Evolt 360 analyzer is a scientifically validated method of body composition used in medicine and science, it’s impossible to know one’s body fat percent with 100% absolute accuracy.
The only way to find out about your exact body fat is to become a cadaver and have a human biologist scrape every ounce of fat off you. Not really an option, is it?
The Evolt 360 comes pretty close though, measuring your body fat and other units through technology that is based on the most up-to-date scientific information relating to Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) analysis – it determines the resistance to flow of the current as it passes through the body, providing estimates of body water from which body fat is calculated using selected equations.
