Chewing the fat—What you need to know

What is body fat?

Our bodies need a certain amount of fat to function effectively, but too much fat can have a detrimental effect on your overall health. Studies have shown that a high level of fat in the body, in particular visceral fat, increases the risk of developing more serious health conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. The level of body fat you should have will vary depending on age and sex, this chart indicates what level band you should be in depending on these factors.

How can you reduce your body fat?

The best way to reduce your overall body fat percentage is to take regular exercise and eat healthily. Using a body composition monitor such as the BF400 will give you accurate results so you can monitor your progress on a fitness regime or simply keep a check on your general health.

In order to reduce your body fat percentage you need to ensure that you eat a healthy diet and take regular exercise. When you embark on any kind of fitness routine it’s useful to have some sort of measurement device so you can see what your progress is. The BF400 is ideal for use every day and with its simple instructions and user friendly functions it provides a highly accurate body composition device for the home.

The science bit...

Body fat has low electricity conductivity. The BF400 measures the body fat percentage by using the Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) method. Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissues with higher water content that conducts electricity easily. Body fat is tissue that has little electric conductivity. The BF400 sends an extremely weak electrical current of 50 kHz through your body to determine the amount of fat tissue. This weak electrical current is NOT felt while operating the BF400. In order for the scale to determine body composition, it uses the electrical impedance, along with your height, weight, age and gender information, to generate results based on pre-determined data of body composition.

And finally...

In short, owning an Omron BF400 is an easy and practical way to monitor your health at home. Using an Omron means affordability, reliability and accuracy whenever you need it from the world’s leading healthcare at home provider.
