Health Checks

Today we had a health expo at work. The work is carried out by this company called HealthWorks. I had several things checked out, including vision and skin cancer screenings. Luckily, nothing of concern came up. I did learn that it is possible to get melanoma on the sole of the foot and in the eye. 

Other tests I went through included body composition and heart health. I had an interesting discussion with one of the health professionals about what is classified as fast food. Turns out I considered everything that's not a sit down meal at a restaurant to be fast food, but they only considered the more traditional meaning of chain stores. My blood pressure was uncharacteristically high today, perhaps due to the recent tragedy in the news.

I thought it was a bit unsophisticated for the body composition check that they just used a Bio-Electric Impedance scale for everything. But, I did get some good results, so I can't really complain. I mean, to have a Basal Metabolic Age of 18 years is great. They also gave a figure for % body fat, bone mass, and body water percentage.
