WHY MONITOR BODY COMPOSITION?

Body composition monitors are designed for healthier living by giving you an insight into key health indicators that will enable you to monitor the impact of changes to your lifestyle:

See the impact of a change in diet on the body to make sure you are dieting the healthy way

Fine-tune your fitness programe by monitoring progress of muscle mass and Basal Metabolic Rate Monitor visceral fat, a key indicator of the risk of Type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

Set a target for your physique and monitor your progress towards it.

HOW DOES A BODY COMPOSITION MONITOR WORK?

Tanita Body Composition Monitors calculate your body composition using Bio -electrical Impedance Analysis(BIA). Safe, low-level electrical signals are passed through the body via the patented Tanita footpads on the monitor platform. It is easy for the signal to flow through fluids in the muscle and other body tissues but meets resistance as it passes through body fat , as it contains little fluid. This resistance is called impedance. The impedance readings are then entered into medically researched mathematical formulas to calculate your body composition.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO USE MY BODY COMPOSITION MONITOR?

Your body water levels naturally fluctuate throughout the day and night. Any significant changes in body water may affect your body composition readings; for example, the body tends to be dehydrated after a long night sleep so if you take a reading first thing in the morning your weight will be lower and your body fat percentage higher. Eating large meals, drinking alcohol, menstruation, illness, exercising, and bathing may also cause variations in your hydration levels.

To get the most reliable reading it is important to use your Body Composition Monitor at a consistent time of day under consistent conditions. We suggest taking a reading before your evening meal.

WHAT IS BODY FAT PERCENTAGE?

Body fat percentage is the amount of body fat as a proportion of your body weight.

Reducing excess levels of body fat has shown to reduce the risk of certain conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes and cancer. The chart below shows the healthy ranges for body fat.

Healthy Range Indicator (Standard Adults only*)

Your Body Composition Monitor automatically compares your body fat percentage reading to the Healthy Body Fat Range chart. After your body fat percentage has been calculated, a black bar will flash along the bottom of the display, identifying where you fall within the Body Fat Ranges for your age and gender.

(-) :Underfat; below the healthy body fat range. Increased risk for health problems.

(0) : Healthy; within the healthy body fat percentage range for your age/gender.

(+): Overfat; above the healthy range. Increased risk for health problems. (++) : Obese; high above the healthy body fat range.

Greatly increased risk of obesity-related health problems.

*Note :

If you select Athlete mode, the unit will not display the Healthy Range Indicator. Athletes may have a lower body fat range depending on their particular sport or activity. (Range of user age is between 18-99)
