THE IMPORTANCE OF A BODY COMPOSITION MONITOR

Maintaining a fit and healthy body is more than just about weight. Here are the benefits for tracking your total body composition with the Aura Full Body Scale.

UNDERSTANDING THE SCALE APP METRICS

BODY FAT RATE
Your body fat percentage is simply the percentage of fat your body contains. If you are 150 pounds and 10% fat, it means that your body consists of 15 pounds fat and 135 pounds lean body mass (bone, muscle, organ tissue, blood and everything else). A certain amount of fat is essential to bodily functions.
According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, there are healthy body fat percentages based on your age. For people aged 20 to 39, women should aim for 21% to 32% of body fat. Men should have 8% to 19%. For people 40 to 59, women should fall between 23% to 33% and men should fall around 11% to 21%

How to reduce body fat?
Cardiovascular workouts–which include continuous exercises like walking, running and cycling–are important for fat loss. They help you both burn calories efficiently and boost metabolism. To get the most out of fat-burning cardio workouts, determine your maximum heart rate by subtracting your age from 220.

BODY WATER RATE
Body water declines as you age, but it will remain above 50 percent for most, if not all, of your lifetime. The normal range for adult women varies between 45% and 60%. For men, the ideal body water percentage fluctuates between 50% and 65% of the total body.

How do you increase your body water percentage?
Avoid sugary, caffeinated, and alcoholic drinks. Drink 1 Ounce of water for every pound of body weight. Increase consumption of leafy green vegetables which helps your muscles stay hydrated.

BODY AGE
Body age is calculated by weight, body fat percentage and skeletal muscle percentage to produce a guide to determine if your body age is above or below your actual calendar age. If above your calendar age, changes can be made to your body composition, fitness level and diet.

How to reduce body age?
Get regular exercise. Eat a healthy diet that includes fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and the right amounts of healthy fats. Limit your alcohol use. Avoid tobacco products and illicit drugs.

BODY MASS INDEX
BMI uses the following simple formula to indicate the ratio between weight and height of a person: BMI = weight (lb) / height (inches) / height (inches) × 703

How can I lower my BMI?
Reduce your daily calorie intake. The basic rule of lowering your BMI, and to maintain a healthy weight generally, is to consume the same or slightly less calories than you burn. Cut down on salt. Get your heart pumping.

MUSCLE MASS
What is muscle mass? Put simply, muscle mass is the amount of muscle in your body, including skeletal muscles, smooth muscles, and cardiac muscles. It can be measured as part of your total body composition, along with fat mass and bone mass. Muscles are often described as the “engine” of your body’s fat and calorie burning mechanism. Increased muscle mass can lead to less body fat, a stronger immune system, improved energy levels, and reduced stress.
Generally, the normal range for muscle mass is as follows:

How do muscles grow?
When you exercise, you are essentially causing trauma to your muscles, and your body works to repair or replace the damaged cells. During this process, the trauma activates satellite cells located outside your muscle fibers which then begin to multiply. Some of them fuse to your muscle fibers to form new muscle fibers and repair damaged ones, and the thickness and amount of your muscle cells increase.
Muscle mass benefits your immune system, and it can have other health benefits too, including increasing insulin sensitivity and delaying age-related muscle loss. Whether you’re trying to grow muscle or preserve muscle, weight training and strength training may help. Consider talking to your doctor to create an exercise routine that’s right for you.

BONE MASS
Bone mass may not vary much in the short term, but it is important to track bone mass over time to look for changes in the long term.

VISCERAL FAT – FAT SURROUNDING INTERNAL ORGANS
Too much visceral fat is thought to be closely linked to increased levels of fat in the bloodstream, which can lead to common diseases such as hyperlipidemia and diabetes, which impairs the ability of insulin to transfer energy from the bloodstream and using it in cells.
In order to prevent or improve conditions of common diseases, it is important to try and reduce visceral fat levels to an acceptable level. People with high visceral fat levels tend to have large stomachs. However, this is not always the case and high visceral fat levels can lead to metabolic obesity. Metabolic obesity (visceral obesity with normal weight) represents fat levels that are higher than average, even if a person’s weight is at or below the standard for their height.

How can I reduce my Visceral Fat?
Studies suggest that more calcium and vitamin D in your body may be linked to less visceral fat. So load up on leafy greens like collards and spinach. Tofu and sardines are also good picks, as are dairy foods like yogurt, cheese, and milk. Your first step in burning off visceral fat is including at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise or cardio into your daily routine. Studies show that aerobic exercises for belly fat help to reduce belly fat and liver fat. Some great cardio of aerobic exercises for belly fat include: Walking, especially at a quick pace.

SUBCUTANEOUS FAT
Subcutaneous fat not only accumulates around the stomach but also around the upper arms, hips and thighs, and can cause a distortion of the body’s proportions. Although not directly linked to increased risk of disease, it is thought to increase pressure on the heart and other complications. Subcutaneous fat is not displayed in this monitor, but is included in the body fat percentage.

SKELETAL MUSCLE
Muscle is divided into two types, muscle in internal organs, such as the heart, and skeletal muscle attached to bones that is used to move the body. Skeletal muscle can be increased through exercise and other activity. Increasing the ratio of skeletal muscle means that your body can burn energy more easily, which means that it is less likely to turn to fat, and makes it easier to lead an energetic lifestyle.

Can I increase skeletal muscle mass?
Each skeletal muscle consists of skeletal muscle cells that come together to form bundles of skeletal muscle fibers. Strength training stimulates these muscle fibers, and when combined with proper nutrition will cause hypertrophy or muscle growth.
