PRODUCT SUMMARY
Tanita Monitors are universally recognised as being the most accurate monitors available in today's market. This reflects over 10 years of medical research into Bio-Electrical Impedence Analysis (BIA) Technology and body composition at the renowned Tanita Health Research Centre in Japan. The exclusive BIA technology used in the Tanita Health and Fitness Monitors for home use is based on the same advanced technology found in Tanita's Professional Body Compositions Analysers used by hospitals and medical professionals around the world. The BIA method measures body composition by sending a very low, safe electrical signal through the body. The signal passes freely through the fluids contained in lean tissue, such as muscle and bone, but encounters difficulty passing through fat tissue. This difficulty, or resistance, is termed 'bioelectrical impedance', and is accurately measured by the Body Fat Monitor. When set against gender, height, age and weight, the Body Fat Monitor is able to calculate your body fat percentage. In addition, Tanita health monitors can measure a wide range of measurements from the inside out: Tanita can monitor your overall fat and hydration levels, the dangerous visceral fat ratings, your metabolic age and physique ratings. Tanita's health monitors include settings that differentiate individuals by age, sex, and athletic prowess, and so can be used by the whole family. Tanita can help you achieve a healthier lifestyle and monitor your progress. The overwhelming feedback that Tanita has received from the users and researchers, is that the Tanita Monitors represent an excellent management tool for anyone interested in, or who need to monitor their weight, body fat and health generally. Tanita’s website, www.tanitaaustralia.com.au, has a lot of additional information regarding the Tanita innerscan health monitors.
