SINBO SBS 4425 GLASS DIGITAL BODY FAT ANALYSIS SCALE
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Instruction about the functions which the scale can measure.
With the body fat analysis scales,you can not only determine your weight,but also your
body fat proportions.
What is the body fat?
Body fat is essential for survival,It cushions,for examplethe joins,protects the organs
and stores vitamins.However,a high proportion of body fat poses many risks.In particular
for the heart and circulatory system.Few peole are aware of the fact that weight and the
proportion of body fat tell us a lot about the degree of health risk.Even slim people may
have an unhealthily high proportion o fbody fat.A person who is “overweight”is not
necessarily “too fat”.The excess weight can be caused by above average musle
bulk.Conversely ,a person who is not overweigh may be “too fat” if their body contains
too much fat in proportion to musle,by measuring your body fat you can determine if you
really are”too fat”Standard scales only show the total weight of the body,without providing
any information about the fat content.
Body fat measurement how it does it work?
Before you can work out your body fat proportion and proportion of water (depending on
model) you must program your date regarding height,age and sex into the scales. When
measuring body fat an undetectable bioelectrical current is transmitted through the feet
into the body,with the varying speeds being used to provide the proportion of body fat.This
id then entered after being compared with personal details.The electrical signal used is
innocuous to people and cannot be felt.Long-term monitoring will enable you to calculate
and observe the proportions of body fat and water in your body.
Body fat measurement points to note!
Measurement of body fat must be performed bare foot.Care must be taken to ensure
that measurement is always performed under identical conditions(e.g. not eating or
drinking directly prior to measurement )and at the same time of day.This is important,as
the proportion of body fat ,as the proportion of body fat,as with body weight,fluctuates.This
fluctuatiion may result in different times of a day producing different results.In order to
determine the real changes in fat proportion it is therefor necessory to always measure
at the same time of day.Please also bear in mind that it takes longer to reduce body fat
than to lose weight.Permanent alterations in eating habits and physical activity are
required to reduce body fat proportionsand maintained the reduced level over a longer
period of time.Monitoring body fat and weight can be a part of this long-tern alteration,it
is the easiest way to measure the progress made in altering body fat proportions over
a period of time.
