General Instructions
Greater Goods’ Body Fat Analyzer 0384 applies BIA (Bio-impedance Analysis) technology. A small amount of weak current flows through the human body so as to detect the bio-impedance and estimate BMI, body fat, body water, and muscle mass. The electrical current is small and may not be felt.
This BIA technology is cheap, safe, non-invasive, toxic-free, and harmless. It also possesses the characteristics of simple operation and abundant information.
The current mentioned above is less than 0.5mA. However, please be aware that anyone with a wearable or implantable medical electronic instrument, such as a pacemaker,  must avoid using this device.
The intended use of this device is for healthy children 10-17 years old and healthy adults

Health Tips – About Body Fat
The human body is made up of, amongst other things, a percentage of fat. Body fat is vital for a healthy, functioning body, 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 will damage your health. It is difficult 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 the 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’.
The table as follows may be used as a guide:

Health Tips – About Body Water
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 regulating the body’s temperature balance, particularly through perspiration.
The combination of your weight and fat measurement could appear to be ‘normal’ but your body hydration level could be insufficient for healthy living.
The table as follows may be used as a guide:

b) The body water percentage (%): 43%-73%/0.1%

Health Tips – About BMI
Maintaining proper weight is essential to healthy living. Obesity has been linked to a higher risk of heart disease, diabetes, and some forms of cancer. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is the most widely accepted measurement of weight according to health professionals. The Analyzer will calculate your BMI on your height and weight. The table as follows may be used as a guide:

Body Mass Index

Health Tips – About Muscle Mass
According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), lean muscle mass may decrease by nearly 50 percent between the age of 20 and 90. If you do nothing with it you’re losing muscle and increasing fat. It is also important to know your muscle mass % during weight reduction. At rest, the body burns approximately 110 additional calories for each kilo of muscle gained. Benefits of gaining muscle mass include:

• Reversing the decline in strength, bone density, and muscle mass with aging
• Maintenance of flexible joints
• Guide weight reduction when combined with a healthy diet.
