The quantity of body fat that we carry under our skin and around our vital inner organs is an important factor that influences our overall health. Recently, concerns about the level of obesity in our modern society are growing. You can read more about the basic facts of weight management in a section at the lower part of this page. Here we present products that can help you to monitor your body fat and contribute to your optimum weight management.
BMI (body mass index) type of body build
(i.e. emaciated, standard, corpulent, muscle corpulent) BMR (basal metabolic rate)* in KCAL * BMR - Basic Metabolic Rate is a minimum calorific requirement that is needed to sustain life during resting. BMR decreases with age and with the amount of fat we carry. BMR can be raised by undertaking of regular exercises. Another factor that influences BMR is height (i.e. taller people have higher BMR than shorter people). BMR also increases in pregnant women. BMR decreases during dieting and it is therefore important to understand that the most effective weight loss can be achieved by a combination of good diet with exercise regime rather than through dieting alone! BMI Body Fat Analyser is battery powered (2 AAA alkaline batteries included) and light (approx. 340 g). User instructions enclosed. CE mark. 1 year warranty.
General Information on Basics of Weight Management
Obesity has many negative implications on
health and fitness. Conditions such as high However, it is important to note that being underweight is equally undesirable as it can lead to frailty, hormonal imbalance, weakness and overall poor health. Body weight should be maintained within the range considered to be normal for individual height. Other factors important to consider are gender and age.
Weight awareness and monitoring should become part of regular health routine. Sudden or unexplained weight change should warrant a check up visit to a medical professional to exclude more serious underlying health conditions. When necessary, changes in lifestyle (i.e. diet and exercise) should be considered in order to maintain body weight within the normal range.
In recent times, not only weight, but also body fat measurements began to play an increasingly important role in the overall health assessment. Too much body fat can lead to health problems and serious chronic illnesses. However, fat is also amongst the body's most pivotal components. Fat regulates body temperature, insulates and cushions organs and serves as a source and storage of energy.
Body Fat Monitors work by sending a very weak electric current throughout the body. The current travels faster in the lean muscles and slower in the fatty tissues and fatty deposits. Based on this "travel speed" differential, the body composition is calculated and the fat component is expressed as a percentage(%) that is a reflection of its quantity. For instance - if you have 25% body fat and your weight is 100 kg - fat represents 25 kg of your total weight. A few interesting body fat facts:

Concerns about the level of obesity in the UK
are growing. Currently in the UK 50% of men and 33% of women are overweight with
as many as 20% of men and 24% of women classed as obese (data from
Leatherhead Food International Ltd.). It is predicted that if the weight
gaining trend continues, by the year 2010 more than 1 in 4 adults will be obese.
Body weight can be easily measured by simple
weighing on traditional type bathroom scales. Weighing Scales or Body
Weight Scales capture total body
weight comprising of bones, organs, muscles, fluids and fats. Personal weight
and height can be converted into Body Mass Index (BMI) that provides a
better indicator of personal weight status. BMI can be easily calculated by
dividing weight in kilograms by the square of height in metres. BMI under
20 indicates underweight, BMI in excess of 25 signals overweight and BMI over 30
is obesity. 
Assessment of body fat provides a truer picture
of overall health and fitness. The measurement is usually expressed as a
percentage of fat that is present in the total body weight. There are a several
different ways to measure the fat content (i.e. body density DEXA scanning,
underwater weighing, calliper pinch testing). The most convenient and fastest
way is to use a body fat monitor, also called body fat analyser monitor.
