HOW DOES THIS SALTER SCALE WORK?

This Salter scale uses BIA (Bio Impedance Analysis) technology which passes a tiny

electrical impulse through the body to determine fat from lean tissue, the electrical

impulse cannot be felt and is perfectly safe. Contact with the body is made via stainless

steel pads on the platform of the scale.

This method simultaneously calculates your personal weight, body fat, total body water

and BMI giving you a more accurate reading of your overall health and ﬁtness.

This scale stores the personal data of up to 8 users. As well as being an analyser scale,

this scale can be used as a conventional scale.

This scale features our convenient step-on operation. Once initialised the scale can be

operated by simply stepping straight on the platform – no more waiting!

body water percentage.

BODY FAT -WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

The human body is made up of, amongst other things, a percentage of fat. This is vital

for a healthy, functioning body - it cushions joints and protects vital organs, helps

regulate body temperature, stores vitamins and helps the body sustain itself when food

is scarce. However, too much body fat or indeed too little body fat can be damaging to

your health. It is dicult to gauge how much body fat we have in our bodies simply by

looking at ourselves in the mirror. This is why it is important to measure and monitor

your body fat percentage. Body fat percentage gives you a better measure of ﬁtness

than weight alone – the composition of your weight loss could mean you are losing

muscle mass rather than fat - you could still have a high percentage of fat even when a

scale indicates ‘normal weight’.

BODY WATER -WHY MEASURE IT?

Body water is the single most important component of body weight. It represents over

half of your total weight and almost two thirds of your lean body mass (predominantly

muscle). Water performs a number of important roles in the body:

All the cells in the body, whether in the skin, glands, muscles, brain or anywhere else,

can only function properly if they have enough water. Water also plays a vital part in
