You can boost your BMR by building muscle and reducing body fat. This increases the body's
ability to burn more calories while the body is at rest. When you raise your BMR, your body is less
likely to store fat. The amount of increase in BMR varies from person to person, but even a modest
increase in activity should cancel out the body's tendency to decrease BMR when you cut calories
in your diet.
Note: Ideal body fat content, total body water, muscle mass, BMR and exercise guidelines
are not the same for all people. Age, sex, heredity and overall health are variables in this
measurement. Always consult your physician to determine what is most ideal for you.

are achieved.

When Should I Use the Body Fat, Body Water and Muscle Mass Functions?
For maximum accuracy and repeatability, it is recommended that the body fat, body water and
muscle mass functions be used at approximately the
same time of day
, under the
same circum-
stances
, e.g. before breakfast in the morning. It is also a good practice to avoid swings in the
body’s hydration level prior to taking the measurement. By establishing the pattern of your body’s
fluctuation over a period of one month, you can determine your average level of body fat, body
water and muscle mass %. Women will have more fluctuation in water content than men and need
to monitor their reading over a longer time period to establish a personal average. You must
determine this as a reference point before measuring progress in a health program.
You must wait several hours before taking a reading when
: drinking coffee or alcohol, taking
diuretic medications or exercising. These all affect your level of hydration and the accuracy
of this analyzer.
The
condition of the skin on the bottom of your feet
can also affect the reading. The natural
effects of aging or activity can make this skin hard. Take the reading with clean, slightly moist feet
for best accuracy.
Caution
BIA method determines your body fat, body water and muscle mass % by sending a harmless signal
through the body. Do not use this product if you have a
pacemaker, artificial limbs, contraceptive
devices, metal plates/screws or other internal medical devices. When in doubt, contact your
physician.
This HealthStation will give accurate body fat, body water, and muscle mass % plus BMR for
a majority of people, but it is not intended for use by the following groups:
Children
: Anyone under 10 years of age
Pregnant Women
