**Why You Should Monitor Body Water and Fat Percentage**
If you're like most people, you're not drinking enough water. If you wait
until you feel thirsty, your body is already suffering from the effects of
mild dehydration. You continually lose water during the day through sweat,
urine and breathing. The amount varies due to several reasons, including your
physical activity level, illness, medications, poor nutrition, or even
climatic conditions. Monitoring your body water percentage allows you to
quickly compensate if your levels are low, allowing your body to function more
efficiently. Having the right amount of water in your body will not only make
you feel healthier, but you'll also reduce your risk of developing serious
health problems in the longer term.
High body fat levels can reduce your endurance and have been linked to heart
disease cancer and diabetes. Tanita's body composition analyzers monitor your
body fat and body water levels with Bioelectric Impedance Analysis, or BIA,
the same advanced technology used by doctors. Foot pads send a low-level
electrical signal. Then BIA measures the resistance to this signal as it
travels through the body.
The Tanita BF679W is calibrated for standard adults and children and stores
data for 2 people and measures body fat in increments of 0.5 percentage
points. This scale also features a guest mode, allowing you to use the unit
without losing information already assigned to the personal keys. The scale's
large, easy-to-read 2.25-inch, 2-line LCD shows weight and body fat
simultaneously, and instantly compares these readings to healthy ranges based
on the user's age and gender. Simply supply your gender, age, height and
weight into the memory, step on the scale, and the monitor does the rest. The
results are analyzed according to each user's information, and the result is
the one of the most comprehensive at-home readings you can get.

Operating on four AA batteries (included), the Tanita BF679W is intended for
use by persons up to 300 pounds and is backed by Tanita's three-year warranty.
