HOW DOES THIS SALTER SCALE WORK?
This Salter scale uses BIA (Bio Impedance Analysis) technology which passes a
tiny electrical impulse through the body to determine fat from lean tissue,
the electrical impulse cannot be felt and is perfectly safe. Contact with the
body is made via stainless steel pads on the platform of the scale.
This method simultaneously calculates your personal weight, body fat, total
body water and BMI giving you a more accurate reading of your overall health
and fitness.
This scale stores the personal data of up to 4 users. As well as being an
analyzer scale, this scale can be used as a conventional scale.

BODY FAT -WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
The human body is made up of, amongst other things, a percentage of fat. This
is vital for a healthy, functioning body – it cushions joints and protects
vital organs, helps regulate body temperature, stores vitamins and helps the
body sustain itself when food is scarce. However, too much body fat or indeed
too little body fat can be damaging to your health. It is difficult to gauge
how much body fat we have in our bodies simply by looking at ourselves in the
mirror. This is why it is important to measure and monitor your body fat
percentage. Body fat percentage gives you a better measure of fitness than
weight alone – the composition of your weight loss could mean you are losing
muscle mass rather than fat – you could still have a high percentage of fat
even when a scale indicates ‘normal weight’.

BODY WATER -WHY MEASURE IT?
Body water is the single most important component of body weight. It
represents over half of your total weight and almost two thirds of your lean
body mass (predominantly muscle). Water performs a number of important roles
in the body:
All the cells in the body, whether in the skin, glands, muscles, brain or
anywhere else, can only function properly if they have enough water. Water
also plays a vital part in regulating the body’s temperature balance,
particularly through perspiration.
The combination of your weight and fat measurement could appear to be ‘normal’
but your body hydration level could be insufficient for healthy living.
