Thinner Bathroom Scales
Living by the numbers
Personal relationships with bathroom scales vary. Some bathroom scales are stashed in a closet until it’s time to diet, some experience the hurried on-and-off morning salute, and others are used as part of a regimen to monitor, evaluate, and restructure weight and fat numbers. It is estimated that the yearly medical cost of obesity in America is over $120 billion. The productivity cost to employers (sick/restricted days and medical benefits) is over $4 billion. Americans are taking to the fitness trails, and scales are calculating their losses.
Thinner is In
Thinner bathroom scales are modern, sleek stainless steel or glass platforms, with sensors that accurately report data. Thinner bathroom scales are user friendly and come in a variety of designer styles – from scales that accurately weigh to premium scales that detect height and measure body fat/bone mass and hydration levels. Some multi-user scales can record and store date for up to 10 users. Thinner digital bathroom scales utilize multiple-load cell strain gauge technology, run on long-life lithium batteries, and have extra large LCD readouts. Average capacities are 330-380 pounds (a few high-capacity thin scales have capacities of 400+ pounds), and limited warranties cover workmanship for up to 10 years.
Learn Your Numbers
Body fat scales determine body fat percentages through a small electrical impulse. Although many do not give precise readings, the readings are consistent enough to show percentage declines. Recommended body fat percentages for healthy males average from a low of 8% for a 20-year old, to a high of 25% for males over 60. Healthy 20-year-old females are allowed a low of 21% body fat, and women over 60 should max out at 36% body fat. For owners of Thinner bathroom scales that measure hydration, experts recommend 52-55% for females under 40, and 45-48% for those 40 and over. Males under 40 should have levels of 60-65%, and 50-55% for males 40 and over.
