Health Tips - About Muscle Mass
According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), lean muscle mass may
decrease by nearly 50 percent between the age of 20 and 90. If you do nothing with it,
you’re losing muscle and increasing fat. It is also important to know your muscle mass %
during weight reduction. At rest, the body burns approximately 110 additional calories for
each kilo of muscle gained. Benefits of gaining muscle mass include:
• Reversing the decline in strength, bone density and muscle mass with aging
• Maintenance of flexible joints
• Easier weight loss when combined with a healthy diet.

Health Tips - About Bone Mass
Regular exercise and a balanced diet can help maintain healthy bones. Like muscle, bone is a living tissue
that can respond to exercise by becoming stronger. For most people, bone mass peaks in their thirties. Then,
people begin to lose bone mass. Regular exercise can help prevent that loss.
Calcium and vitamin D, good sources of which are dairy products, green leafy vegetables and fish, contribute
to healthy bones.
The bone mass readings given by this product are an estimation of the amount of bone mass in
your body. Those with osteoporosis or low bone densities may not get accurate estimations. If you have any
concern regarding your bones please consult your doctor.
The average bone mass percentage for both men and women is between 4 to 5%.
