Weighing tips
‚ Weighing for the body analysis can only be carried out barefoot. In doing so, your
feet should only be lightly moistened. Completely dry feet can lead to false results,
as the electrical conductivity will be poor then.
‚ During the measuring process, stand still and do not hold on to anything.
‚ Do not weigh yourself directly after unusual physical exertion.
‚ Do not weigh yourself immediately after standing up. Wait approximately fifteen
minutes. In this time, the water is able to distribute through your body.
‚ Always attempt to weigh yourself at the same time, in order to obtain comparable
values.
Notes on the ascertained values
The proportion of body fat gives the amount of fat as a percentage of the total weight
of the body. A universal recommendation for this value does not exist, since it depends
significantly on sex (because of different physiques) and age.
Body fat is vital for day-to-day body function. It protects organs, cushions joints,
regulates body temperature, stores vitamins, and serves the body as an energy store.
For women, a body fat proportion between 10% and 13% is essential; for men,
between 2% and 5% with the exception of competitive sportsmen.
The proportion of body fat is not an unambiguous indicator of health. Excessive body
weight and a too-high proportion of body fat are linked with the appearance of many
diseases of civilisation such as diabetes, cardiovascular illnesses, etc. Physical inactivity
and poor diet are often triggers for these diseases. There is a clear causal connection
between excess weight and physical inactivity.
