New Technology in Nutrition
New Technology in Nutrition! 
For years, the dietitians at MANNA have done bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) testing as part of the free Medial Nutrition Therapy consultations for our clients. This technology was essential for identifying patients whose lean body mass was wasting away. In an effort to be more cost conscious, as well as providing better service to our clients, MANNA has purchased a new scale that measures more body composition entities while eliminating the need for the electrodes.

This technology was essential for identifying patients whose lean body mass was wasting away. In an effort to be more cost conscious, as well as providing better service to our clients, MANNA has purchased a new scale that measures more body composition entities while eliminating the need for the electrodes. The Tanita Innerscan Body Composition BC-533 scale is an invaluable tool to the dietitians and clients at MANNA. The BIA test that was used in the past cost about $1 a test and only provided three readings: lean body mass, fat mass and extra cellular tissue. Our new scale gives readings on fat and differentiates visceral fat so the dietitians have a more accurate indicator of an individual's health risk. The scale also gives a reading on muscle, fluids, bone mass, and score on a scale of 1 to 9 of overall physique rating. MANNA is pleased to be able to offer this new technology to our clients, in order to better serve their nutritional needs.
