Used the opportunity of being in a large city to get a DEXA scan done today. I’m a sucker for these things 😂
How are the bones faring
What is Nostr doing to me? Why am I asking a random person about their bones on the internet.
HAHAHHAHAHHA We are all fam here
Well not that random anyway. I build on your code every day 🍻
Your bones are the bones of Nostr, sir
Pretty good I think; they didn’t tell me much about the bone density but the chart is in the green so I’m going to guess that’s good 😅 https://nostrcheck.me/media/f7a1fd5243ba68caa096e6aababe1844f9fa62b79615b4dd3c9f901e527b8a87/ca623b84e4956908c48ee9702dd49fd2c209f143fe4947ecbcd39bb8a15bde9e.webp
Enjoy being in the city Pablo 🙌 Looking forward to seeing you and your family soon 🤩🤞
Are you going to be in Malaga?? I think Marina mentioned something but now not sure if she said Malaga or Spain in general
Yeah we are flying into Malaga 🇪🇸 We will be in La Herradura for a month ☀️
why is that important? what does it mean?
I got curious and googled it: A bone density scan, also known as a DEXA or DXA scan, is a low-dose x-ray that measures calcium and other minerals in your bones. Bones containing more minerals are denser and tend to be stronger and less likely to break. The measurement helps show your bone's strength and thickness (known as bone density or mass).
what exactly does it check. BFP is one but what else that you canwasure on your own without medical intervention?
“Canwasure”? “Can use”?
lol, sorry. Can measure
Oh, a lot; I get per-limb lean body mass, so now I know my right arm has a little less muscle than my left arm, so now I can integrate that in my training. For my the body fat percentage is the most relevant part because now I know that I have a lot of room to lose weight 😅
I like this stuff too but the issue is being able to measure it without them afterwards e. g. per limb you need their fancy toys Not too long though before proper diagnostic tools are cheap, wearable and hopefully (private)
Does it allow you to assess how much visceral (as opposed to subcutaneous) fat you have?
Yes it does.
Bone Density
how do you measure bone density at home?
Those are fun. Ever done a Bod Pod?
