Cell Function & Body Composition Analysis (CFA)

 

There is very little point in continuing with programs and supplements that cost you good money if you are not reaping the rewards of your efforts.

 

Cell Function and Body Composition Analysis is about lengthening your healthspan to equal your lifespan.

 

As a leading Naturopath, Steven Cottingham B.App.Sc., .N.Sc.(Hons) say’s, “The key to living a long and healthy life is not knowing how old you are……but how old your cells are”.

 

Throughout life we make conscious lifestyle choices, firmly believing that the choices we make will lead to a good healthy outcome in the future.  But really, how do we know if what we are doing is in fact in the long term interests of a healthy lifespan outcome.

How do we know if our cells are absorbing the nutrients from our food and supplements?  

How do we know if our cellular system is coping, expelling wastes and toxins efficiently.

How do we know if we are dehydrated or hyperhydrated at cellular level.

Do we know if our cells are repairing and rejuvenating or are they deteriorating and rapidly ageing.

 

We are constantly told that we must supplement our diet with vitamins and minerals - a sentiment which I would wholeheartedly endorse, but in the right form….  How much is enough and are the supplements being bandied around, the right supplements for your body?  

Experts will expound the notion that we need this, this and this and in these amounts, but fail to point out that some bodies cannot, without personal cost, effectively deal with the chemical concoctions often being paraded before us in the name of “good for ya!”. The sentiment is good but the product often is not in terms of its effecacy and its ability to help support human life.

 

You will often hear some diehard medical comment refer to supplementation as expensive urine.  In some cases they are totally correct because unless the supplement is in a form that can be quickly broken down in the stomach and in a form that is recognised and required by the body, then we have a very counter productive situation.  Not only has the product continually cost us our hard earned money, but it has also added to the garbage disposal burden of our body.  Hopefully all we have done is produce expensive urine but in reality, we find that the garbage depository doesn’t evacuate completely and eventually overflows later in life in a cascade of debilitating health problems.   

 

Everybody is different however.  We all derive our cellular energy from food but none of us process these furnace fuels the same as the next person. To create energy, which is life, our cells must be very efficient at absorbing nutrients and expelling the waste.  If our cell membrane function is impared for what ever reason, we will experience cellular starvation.

 

Cell Function and Body Function analysis (CFA) can supply vital information for you and your health care professional to help identify the current state of you cellular health.  More importantly, CFA will help monitor your future health trends.  We are told that we are made up of approximately 73 trilloin cells and that these cells grow together to form tissue; the tissue combines to form organs; organs combine to form systems; and systems combine to form “you”.  Each and every cell plays an important role in maintaining or breaking down your overall state of health.  A CFA test provides a range of information that can determine the state of your cells, and from this, one can devise the best protocol for reversing disease patterns, maintaining and improving current health and slowing (even reversing) the ageing process...

 

Individuals with current poor health and disease,  competitive athletes and sportspeople and those interested and active in maintaining good health will all benefit from CFA testing.  The CFA enables your health care provider to monitor cell and body changes at an early stage of treatment.  Sometimes we hang on in the hope that what has been prescribed for us, or what we are taking, is working – and working well.  The results from the CFA test are quantifiable and accurate – in fact it’s black and white.  It identifies if your cells are in a state of catabolism (breakdown) or anabolism (repair) – no guess work.

 

Health Maintenance:   If you currently enjoy good health and are actively involved in maintaining this through good nutrition and exercise, going to the gym, taking supplements (eg. vitamins, minerals, herbals, sports nutrients etc.), a CFA test will immediately identify if your program is working for you.  There is very little point in continuing with programs and supplements that cost you good money if you are not reaping the rewards of your efforts.  Once you understand how  to interpret your CFA, you can modify and adjust your personal health program and supplements to suit.  Then it is a simple and affordable proceedure to re-test after a few months to make sure your body and cells are responding accordingly.  The information supplied from your test empowers you to have some control over your ageing process.  After all, who wants to feel like a 60 year old when you are only 35.  We would all like to feel 35 when we turn 60 though.

 

Fluid and Nutrition Analysis….The BIA-Quantum estimates body composition using a small, safe electrical current applied to electrodes placed on the wrist and ankle.  The current is carried through the body’s fluids and tissues and is measured as electrical resistance and reactance.  RJL Systems’ parallel transformations of these values make BIA a reliable clinical tool for determining intracellular and extracellular compartments and is a sensitive indicator of nutrition and fluid balance.  Body cell mass and fat free mass estimates provides an index to assess the need for therapy and it’s effectiveness.  The serial monitoring of body cell mass clearly illustrates accretion, catabolism or stability.  

Because the BIA-Quantum is non-invasive, painless and quantitive, studies can be completed in any clinical setting.  The analyser provides an instant reading of measured electrical values, and coupled with the advanced Fluid and Nutrition Analysis software creates a data management and reporting system.  

Support that ensures your health success…..The BIA-Quantum Fluid and Nutrition System provides essential information to assist your practitioner in providing you with the best of health, critical answers for improved fluid management and nutrition support because of earlier detection, earlier intervention and preventive care. It also provides findings that complement current laboratory results.  Through serial measurements, the BIA-Quantum can track, monitor and analyse your response to treatment.
