The Body Balance uses your personal data and
the recommendations of health experts to
determine your ideal weight and body fat level. In addition, it determines the percentage of
total body water and muscle proportion. Please
note that your muscles also contain body water
and this is already covered by the body
water analysis. Therefore the total analysis
always shows a value above 100%.
Body weight
Whilst the body weight is shown in the display
in kg, one of the 9 segments is shown in the
bar below it.
Here the position of the active segment
indicates the assessment of the body weight
mentioned on the basis of the BMI figure.
The BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measure for
the health risk resulting from overweight or
underweight.
On the basis of categorisation of the BMI,
doctors distinguish between "underweight”,
"normal weight”, "overweight” and "obese”.
BMI =
Proportion of body fat
Whilst the proportion of body fat in % is
shown in the display, one of the 9 segments
appears in the bar below it.
Too much body fat is unhealthy and does not
look nice. What is more important is that a
high proportion of body fat is also usually
associated with a raised proportion of fat in
the blood and this increases greatly the risk of
various illnesses such as for instance diabetes,
heart disease, high blood pressure etc. But a
very low proportion of body fat is equally
unhealthy.
Apart from the fatty tissue under the skin, the
body also stores important fat deposits for the
protection of the internal organs and to ensure
important metabolic functions.
