I am using the HaradaScan weighing scale, it detects fat percentage, visceral fat, muscle everything!
that's pretty incredible. Makes me wonder how it is possible. Sounds good though :)
I stand corrected, it is called the Omron Karada Scan. It basically passes a weak electrical impulse through your body and determines its composition based on that.
"Muscles, blood, bones and body tissues with high water content conduct electricity easily. On the other hand, body fat does not store much water, therefore has little electric conductivity." ~ According to the User Manual (https://omronhealthcare.com/wp-content/uploads/hbf-510w-instruction-manual.pdf)
interesting. I never knew such tech existed. Thanks for that. I might have to get me one of those :)
It is going for 180USD ish on Amazon
