This highly accurate monitoring technique shows you in seconds if you are in the healthy range based on your age, sex and height. Use regularly to see the effect of your diet and exercise programme. This will motivate you to follow a healthy lifestyle and keep within the healthy range.
• Total Body Water Percentage - Helps you understand how your body's composition changes as your hydration levels change. It is important to drink plenty of water a day to stay healthy (minimum of 2 litres / 3 1/2 pints per day).
• Children's Healthy Body Fat Percentage Range - The first ever monitors to show if children aged 7 - 18 are within healthy ranges for body fat recommended by doctors.
• Visceral Fat Rating - Visceral fat surrounds the internal organs in the stomach/trunk area of your body. High levels of visceral fat increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Monitoring your results can help you adjust your lifestyle to stay in the low risk range. The Visceral Fat Healthy Range shows if the amount of visceral fat you have is healthy.
• Visceral Fat Healthy Range
• Bone Mineral Mass - Indicates the weight of bone mineral in the body. The development of muscle tissue has been shown to encourage stronger, healthier bones. It is important to develop and maintain healthy bones through plenty of exercise along with a calcium rich diet.
