Product escription
HOW OES THE BLUEANATOMY BO Y SCALE WORK?
This BlueAnatomy Body Scale uses BIA (Bio Impedance Analysis) technology hich passes an
electrical current through the body to estimate body fat mass, lean mass, total body ater and bone
mass. The electrical current is small and may not be felt. Contact ith the body is made via special glass
on the top of the scale.
NOTE: This device is a personal monitor and should be used in a consistent manner for the most
accurate reading. While readings of this analyzer might be different ith that of others (hydro-
densitometry or hand held calipers), your changes in body fat percentage sho n by this device ill be
reflected accurately.
While this analyzer ill ork accurately as a scale for anyone and give accurate body fat readings for a
majority of people, it is not intended for being used by pregnant omen or children under the age of 18.
BO Y FAT-WHAT OES IT MEAN?
Human body is made up of, amongst other things, a percentage of fat. Body fat is vital for a healthy,
functioning body, protects vital organs, helps regulate body temperature, stores vitamins and helps the
body sustain itself hen food is scarce. Ho ever, too much body fat or indeed too little body fat ill
damage to your health. It is difficult to gauge ho much body fat e have in our bodies simply by looking
at ourselves in the mirror.
This is hy it is important to measure and monitor your body fat percentage. Body fat percentage gives
you a better measure of fitness than eight alone–the composition of your eight loss could mean you
are losing muscle mass rather than fat-you could still have a high percentage of fat even hen a scale
indicates ‘normal eight’.
BO Y WATER-WHY MEASURE IT?
Body ater is the single most important component of body eight. It represents over half of your total
eight and almost t o thirds of your lean body mass (predominantly muscle). Water performs a number
of important roles in the body: All the cells in the body, hether in the skin, glands, muscles, brain or
any here else, can only function properly if they have enough ater. Water also plays a vital part in
regulating the body’s temperature balance, particularly through perspiration. The combination of your
eight and fat measurement could appear to be ‘normal’ but your body hydration level could be
insufficient for healthy living.
