Bioelectrical impedance analysis

Have you ever seen a scale that tells you how heavy you are? Well, bioelectrical impedance analysis is like a scale that can also tell you how much of your body is made up of different things like fat, muscle, and water.

Here's how it works:

When you step on the special scale or hold onto some metal handles, a tiny, safe electrical current goes through your body. This current can tell us things about your body, like how much water it has inside.

We know that different parts of your body have different amounts of water, fat, and muscle, and the electrical current can help tell those things apart.

Pretty cool, right?

Now, this method is not perfect as there are factors that may affect the results, such as age, sex, hydration level, or level of physical activity before the test, but it can still give us a general idea of how healthy our body is.
