WHAT IS EXCESS WEIGHT?
It is generally known that the excess weight
of the body may adversely affect a person’s
health. Excess weight can cause obesity, heart
problems, atherosclerosis and osteoporosis;
short weight may also lead to osteoporosis.
(Osteoporosis is a skeleton systemic disease
characterized by decrease of a bone mass in
relation to its volume as well as malfunction
of bone microarchitectonics and leading to
increase of brittleness of bones and risk of frac-
ture by minimal trauma or even without it).
Physical exercises and bland diet help to lose
excess weight and this scale helps to control
your weight.
It is known that at low weight muscles and tis-
sues of the body contain more water than fat,
and electric current passes through water better
than through fat. Passing weak current through
the body the scale quickly and easily calculate
the percentage of fat and water in a human body.
You can control your weight based on the results
of calculation of water and fat percentage.
RECOMMENDATIONS
– Weigh yourself at one and the same time of
the day.
–
We recommend to measure the percentage
of fat and water in the evening before eve-
ning meal.
– 2-3 hours should pass after the meal.
–
10-12 hours should pass after intensive phys-
ical exercises.
–
Fat percentage in the body depends on dif-
ferent factors and can change during the day.
– The results may be inaccurate when calcu-
lating fat and water percentage of children
under 10 years.
–
Professional sportsmen, people suffer-
ing from edema and people with nonstan-
dard body proportions can show inaccurate
results of fat and water percentage calcula-
tion.
Note: Fat and water percentage data can be cal-
culated only if personal data (sex, age, height)
are entered correctly and if you step on the scale
with bare feet.
