| McGilvery and Taglang say their company, Fat Statz LLC, plans to place the kiosks at gyms nationwide, so that fitness-minded people have an easy way of measuring their body fat percentage. Interestingly, in this study, total intake of vitamin E was negatively associated with body fat percentage and subcutaneous abdominal fat. I suggest that you also measure your body fat percentage, cholesterol levels, blood pressure, V02 max (also known as an aerobic test or stress test), muscular strength, muscular endurance and flexibility. |
