Description
Monitoring weight is not the only critical aspect to loosing weight or keeping a pulse on your overall health. Body fat scales can help track trends in body fat, water, muscle and bone mass variances that allow you to see more clearly what is happening within your body as your weight fluctuates. As men and women at different ages have vastly different bodies, our SWAY Personal Care Body Fat Monitor and Scale will help you trend these critical health indicators so that you can catch potentially harmful or damaging health issues before they become serious.
Body Fat: What is it?
Body fat is essential for survival and is necessary to cushion joints, protect organs and store vitamins, so some fat is required for normal body function. Too much fat; however, poses unnecessary health risks and should be controlled through monitoring. In fact, weight and the proportion of body fat can tell a lot about the degree of health risk: even slim people have an unhealthy proportion of body fat and a person who is “overweight” is not necessarily “too fat.” The SWAY Personal Care Body Fat Monitor and Scale can help you determine where you are in the spectrum and where you should be.
Body Fat Measurment: How does it work?
First it is necessary to program in your data regarding height, age and sex into the scale to accurately calculate the body fat proportion and proportion of water. When measuring body fat, an undetectable bioelectrical current is transmitted through the feet and into the body, with varying speeds being used to provide the proportion of body fat. This is then compared with personal details and the results are shown. The electrical signal used is innocuous to people and cannot be felt.
Body Fat: Measurement points to note!
Measurement must be done bare foot and should be taken under identical conditions (e.g. not eating or drinking directly prior to measurement) and at the same time of day each time to ensure accuracy.
