For decades, the scale has been placed at the pinnacle of health measurement and the judge of progress. Used by healthcare professionals and individuals, the number on the scale has been an indicator of success or sometimes failure depending on the number. The truth is that the number doesn’t represent total health and as recent research tells us, for a more accurate picture of health, we must move beyond the scale.
