The Tri-Fitness HealthStation Body Composition Scanner and bathroom scale uses Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA), one of the most accurate methods for measuring body fat and water. It sends a harmless signal through the fat and muscle in the body. This method calculates your personal weight, body fat and water and daily calorie requirement simultaneously, giving you a more accurate reading of overall health and fitness. Not only functional this bathroom scale is elegant and a perfect fit for any bedroom or bathroom.

Body fat is a vital measure of your overall health and fitness. Healthy body fat levels can help reduce the risk of developing serious health related problems, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease and diabetes. The goal in proper weight loss should be to increase lean muscle mass (which is the shape and contour of your body) and to decrease body fat for a higher fat burning metabolism. This body weight and fat analyzer scale is just what you need to stay in shape and live a healthy lifestyle.

There are two types of body fat: essential fat and storage fat. Essential fat is needed for normal, everyday physiological functions within the body. It is located in and around muscle tissue, nerve cells, bone marrow, intestines, liver and lungs. Without essential fats, normal bodily functions begin to degrade and ultimately shut down. Storage fat is found and stored just below the skin surface and around the major organs. Storage fat acts as an insulator for the body, providing energy and a cushion against trauma and starvation periods. Men tend to have storage fat around the waist line; women a little lower in the hips and upper thighs. Some storage fat is necessary for normal body functions but excessive amounts can be detrimental to your health and overall quality of life.

Monitoring the level of body water can be a useful tool for one's health maintenance. Similar to body fat estimation, the Total Body Water (TBW) function provided in this bthroom scale is based on Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis or Bioempendance Analysis (BIA). The BIA is a measurement of body fat in relation to lean body mass. The estimated TBW may vary according to your hydration level. For best results, keep water intake consistant before taking a measurement. The accuracy of the scale in estimating TBW percentages will also decrease with individuals suffering from diseases or illnesses that cause water retention. Please remember that the scale represents only a good approximation of your total body water.

Why is water so important?
Water is an essential component of the body and is one of the body's overall health indicators. Water makes up approximately 50-70 percent of the body's weight and is present proportionally more in lean tissue as compared to fat tissue. For example:

73 percent of lean muscle tissue is water

80 percent of blood is water

25 percent of fat is water

22 percent of bone tissue is water

Additionally, water helps regulate body functions. Water, for example:

Removes waste products from cells for excretion in urine and sweat

Provides form to cells which helps to maintain body temperature

Provides moisture to skin, mucous membranes and cushions vital organs

Lubricates joints and is a component of many body fluids

Water helps you feel full and reduces your appetite

Adds moisture to skin to improve overall appearance

Aids in proper digestion and helps prevent constipation

Can help reduce the chances of developing kidney stones
