This product determines your body fat percentage by measuring bioelectrical impedance (i. e. the body's electrical resistance), allowing you to monitor your health at home and help keep your body fat level in check to avoid health problems associated with obesity. Checking Body Fat is a step towards a healthier life. This scale can be used safely and conforms with Medical Equipment Directive IEC-601-1.

High levels of body fat can lead to heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and some forms of cancer. It is important to monitor regularly to keep body fat levels in check. Product benefits · Measures both weight and body fat percentage and evaluates BMI. · Measures and displays weight up to a max of 136kg/21st6lbs in graduations of 100g/0. 2lbs. Measures body fat to the nearest 0. 1% · Memorises details for up to 5 regular users. Displays graph showing present weight/body fat % against past progress. · It displays graphs in which it is easy to observe changes (body weight and body fat percentage). How the Body Fat Monitor/Scale measures your body fat percentage · This product was researched and developed using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), which is a method of determining body fat percentage by measuring the body's electrical resistance. · Fat in the body conducts hardly any electricity, whereas the water contained in muscles is a good conductor of electricity. Measuring electrical resistance thus offers a way of determining the proportion of fat and other tissue in the body.

(Normal bioelectrical impedance increases during sleep and falls during activity). · Try to measure your body fat level at around the same time each day and when in the same condition. Ideal conditions for use Time Conditions Monitor your progress : Early evening, before the evening meal. : Provides a long-term picture of changes in weight and body fat percentage. · Features weight-only function for use as a conventional scale. This mode is specially designed for those adults performing large amounts of intense aerobic exercise, due to the changes that such individuals bodies undergo. * The Athlete Mode is suitable for: · People performing more than 10 hours of intense aerobic exercise a week, who also have a resting pulse of below 60 beats per minute. · People who are performing slightly less than this figure, but who have trained regularly throughout their lives at such an intense level.
