With poor diets and sedentary lifestyles we, as a nation, are getting fatter. But although we can get an idea of our physical wellbeing from our weight it does not tell the full story.
So move over bathroom scales - here comes the next generation. The Tanita Innerscan BC543 scales will give you a complete picture of your health and check how fit your family is.
Using Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA) to monitor multiple components of overall health (the same technology used doctors, medical centres and by professional athletic teams, fitness clubs and personal trainers around the world) , the digital monitor not only tells you how much you weigh, but how much of that weight is muscle, fat and water. It tells you your minimum calorie requirements and your bone mineral mass. It will even that tell you your metabolic age. And anyone who is serious about improving their total health and fitness will be able to see their personal progress.
These comprehensive scales will measure:
Body fat % (excess fat- men should be less than 20% and women less than 30%)
Total body water % (hydration)
Muscle mass (lean weight)
Physique (balance between fat and muscle)
Visceral (central fat or 'bad' fat rating)
Bone mineral mass (bone health)
Basal Metabolic Rate (min. calorie needs)
Metabolic age (how old is your body?)
Children's healthy range (fat/health check)
The Tanita Family Health BC543 Innerscan Body Composition Monitor is available online for £71.83 from Amazon with free standard delivery within five working days (express delivery also available).
Caution: Do not use if you have a heart pacemaker.
