Omron HBF-500 Body Composition Monitor with Scale

• Complex monitor brings highly accurate full body sensing technology
• Monitors your weight, body fat, and visceral fat for healthy weight loss
• In addition monitors your skeletal muscle and resting metabolism to keep weight off
• Features built-in memory for later comparison together with your existing statistics and goals
• Offers measurements for people of nearly all heights (3'4" to 6' 6-3/4") and nearly all adult ages (18 to 80 years)

A distinctive handheld device, coupled together with a traditional base unit proposes comprehensive body composition monitoring.

The handheld unit features a large, simple-to-read display. View big.

Detailed Measurement
The weight display measures weight up to 300 pounds in .2-pound increments, while body fat percentage can be measured from 5 to 60 percent in .1 percent increments. Meanwhile, skeletal muscle percentage is measured from 5 to 50 percent, in addition in .1 increments. Visceral fat classifications are available, too; the device will inform you if your visceral fat levels are normal or high.

One of the keys to weight loss and management is tracking your body mass index, or BMI. The HBF-500 rates your BMI from 7.0 to 90.0 in .1 increments. BMI is classified at three levels: underweight, normal, overweight, and obese. You can in addition assess your resting metabolism; the device measures your resting calorie consumption from 385 to 5000 kcal in .1 kcal increments.

All of the measurements taken by the HBF-500 can be stored in memory for later comparison together with your existing statistics and goals. The device can display information from up to three months prior to the existing day.

Made for Just concerning Everyone
The HBF-500 is set up to offer measurements for folks of nearly all heights (3'4" to 6' 6-3/4") and nearly all adult ages (18 to 80 years). Measurements are customized for males and females, as well.

Power and Dimensions
The HBF-500 runs on four AA batteries, and you can expect concerning a year of battery life when the device is used four times a day. The handheld portion of the device measures 6.1 x 11.8 x 1.4 inches (L x W x H). The main unit measures 12.8 x 11.8 x 2.2 inches (L x W x H). The unit weighs 4.7 pounds.

What is the Bioelectrical Impedance Method?
Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) is considered one of the much accurate and accessible methods of screening body fat. Muscles, blood vessels and bones are body tissues having a high water content this conduct electricity effortlessly. Body fat is tissue this has little electric conductivity. The monitor sends an extremely weak electrical existing throughout your body to determine the amount of fat tissue. The weak electrical existing is not felt while operating the Body Fat Analyzer. The monitor is calculated by a formula this consists of five factors; electric resistance, height, weight, age and gender.
What is visceral fat?
Visceral fat is placed all-around the organs. Too much visceral fat is thought to be closely linked to increased altitude of fat in the bloodstream, which can lead to common conditions such as high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Sedentary life style causes excess visceral fat, and exercise can decrease it quicker than subcutaneous fat (fat placed under skin).
What is resting metabolism?
Resting metabolism is the energy to preserve vital functions and it counts 60 to 70% of total energy consumption. Knowing your resting metabolism can help your dietplan. If you can enhance daily activity while keeping food intake at resting metabolism altitude, you can lose weight.
What is skeletal muscle?
Skeletal muscle is muscle attached to the bones this is used to move the body. If you do weight loss not including exercise, you may lose skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle is important to preserve your resting metabolism as well as your functionality. Monitoring skeletal muscle during weight loss is key to avoid weight rebound in the future.
