Protein and Caloric Requirements
Ensuring the correct level of protein intake for an individual is essential
for a Weight Control program to be successful in both the short and the
long-term. A good level of protein intake will make sure that muscle is
not lost when dieting (which slows down metabolic rate). Protein also
directly helps the process of burning off fat and reducing weight. A minimum
of 1.5gm of protein per kilo of lean body mass is essential for a weight
loss program to be successful.
HealthQuest calculates a person’s current daily calorie intake based
on their measured Basal Metabolic Rate and chosen level of activity. You
can choose to apply a 10% - 15% - 20% or 25% calorie reduction and HealthQuest
will then automatically calculate the reduced calorie level required for
their weight loss program.
As the correct quantity of Protein, Carbohydrate and Fat in grams is
automatically calculated, it is much easier for the patient to successfully
follow their individually designed program.
Especially as there is also a web-link facility to over 100,000 healthy,
high-quality, tasty and easy to prepare recipes that include the breakdown
of a serving of a particular meal in grams of protein, carbohydrate, fat
and total calories. This is an invaluable resource for both you and your
patients.
You can even plan diets for Weight Gain and Weight Maintenance with the
HealthQuest BIA system.
The HealthQuest BIA system makes meeting protein, carbohydrate, fat and
caloric requirements easy for both you and your patients.
Progress Measurements
The HealthQuest BIA system allows you to track your patient's progress
in terms of centimeters and kilograms lost during the course of their
treatment program. The program not only calculates the total cm’s
and kg’s lost but also the average loss of each per week. These results
are highly motivating for your patients and help spur them on to further
success.
Cardiovascular
and Stroke Risk Assessment
The ratios of waist to hip and waist to height measurements have been
shown in scientific studies to be a very good predictors of the risk of
cardiovascular disease and stroke. HealthQuest does these calculations
for you and presents the risk level for the patient of these ratios.
How do the Monitors Work?
The user stands on four footplates on the platform of the scale and holds
the hand electrodes that are conveniently housed in the base using retractable
connecting cables. The monitor will then send a safe low dual frequency
electrical signal from the 8 hand and footplate electrodes through the
body. The results of the resistance to the measurement (known as Bio-electrical
Impedance Analysis or BIA) are then fed into a very advanced computer
within the monitor to provide accurate and personalised body composition
readings. This method enables the user to obtain more in-depth information
regarding their body composition such as muscle mass, fat mass, visceral
(abdominal) fat level, bone mass, metabolic rate and physique rating.
Validation
The current model's Bio-Impedance measuring system and the inbuilt computer's
calculation program is based on the result of over 50,000 client tests
conducted in centres throughout Japan. Its accuracy is unsurpassed by
any other currently available system. Our system is highly accurate -
it is the only system on the market that has been independently tested
in comparison to DEXA (dual-energy x-ray absorbiometry) which is generally
considered the gold standard due to its reliability and precision. The
BIA monitor was found to be within 4% of DEXA’s readings. This is
a great result for our low cost and very convenient system.
In comparison to other competing products, independent research has shown
that as the full weight of the patient presses down on the four foot pads
ensuring better contact, more accurate results are obtained than by the
wrists and ankle strap contacts used by other systems. Unlike other systems,
they measure the weight of the patient, visceral fat and provide bone
mass readings as well. Because the patient does not have to lie down,
tests can be performed very quickly in whatever spot you find convenient
– no table is required.
The Price / Value of the HealthQuest BIA
System is Unsurpassed
A commonly marketed system costs over $6000 – HealthQuest’s
BIA is only one quarter of that price, and does so much more!
The HealthQuest Bio-Impedance Body Composition Analysis system is simply
the best and lowest cost system on the market. It is definitely the next
generation in healthcare.

Measure vital in-depth information:
- Body fat % – Too much or not enough fat?
- Segmental Body Fat % Measurement of each arm, each leg and
trunk area
- Body Fat Healthy Range Indicators for Adults & Children
Age 5+
- Visceral Fat Rating Visceral fat surrounds the internal
organs in the stomach/trunk area of your body. Ensuring you have healthy
levels of visceral fat reduces the risk of certain diseases such as
heart disease and high blood pressure and delays the onset of type 2
diabetes. Monitoring your results can help you adjust your lifestyle
to stay in the low risk range.
- Total body water % – Are you drinking enough
water? (Almost all people who live to a hundred report drinking a lot
of water)
- Bone mass Indicates the weight of bone mineral in the body.
The development of muscle tissue has been shown to encourage stronger,
healthier bones. It is important to develop and maintain healthy bones
through plenty of exercise along with a range of bone building nutrients.
- Basal Metabolic Rate Indicates the number of calories
your body burns when at rest. Unlike other methods of calculating BMR,
InnerScan takes the amount of muscle in your body into account, giving
a more accurate picture of your dietary requirements. Your BMR will
tend to decrease as you get older - you can help prevent this through
a regular routine of cardiovascular exercise and increased activity.
- Metabolism Age Your BMR starts to decrease after
the age of 17 and the metabolic age rating indicates what age level
your body is currently rated at. Aim to keep young!
- Muscle Mass Calculates the weight of muscle in your
body. Do you have too much or not enough muscle?
- Segmental Muscle Mass Measurement of each arm, each leg and
trunk area
- Physique Rating Describes your overall physique or
body shape by examining the balance between the amounts of body fat
and muscle in your body.
- Athlete Mode For people who do more than 10 hours
a week intense exercise and who have a resting heart rate of fewer than
60 beats per minute.
