The In Body 270 is a portable yet accurate body composition analyser that uses only impedance to determine body composition results within 15 seconds. The machine measures body composition through a method called bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). BIA sends a small alternating current through the body that allows for highly accurate measurements of a person’s body fat as well as water, lean mass, overall weight, and more. It can measure the mass of fats, muscles, water, the amount of minerals and protein in the body, and it can assess the balance of your appearance which helps you determine a healthy lifestyle that is best for you. More importantly, all this knowledge gives Liquid Reset the power to provide clients with better care and more personalized treatment recommendations. BIA is painless, quick, non-invasive, and doesn’t pose any risk of side effects. Simply stand on the device and hold the hand electrodes to test. This device has great features that we will get to know soon and it is available at Allevia Medical Center in Qatar.

While body mass index (BMI) calculations haven’t really changed for 200 years the problem with these measurements is that they don’t account for the complexity of the human body’s composition. While weight, height, and BMI measurements can give you a rudimentary assessment of your overall health, these measurements don’t take into account body fat as opposed to muscle mass, or intracellular vs. extracellular water.

The In Body testing process is completely non-invasive, doesn’t require x-ray imaging, and only takes a couple of seconds. First, you will be asked to wipe your feet and hands with a special wipe that will remove any lotion or sweat to improve your body’s conductivity. This will help the In Body Scale obtain an accurate reading. Once you’re ready, you can step onto the In Body Scale.

The first measurement taken will be your weight. Then your height, age, and sex will be entered into the machine. Next, you will need to hold the hand sensors on either side of the machine with your arms outstretched at about waist level with your thumbs on the sensors. That’s all there is to it! Once the In Body Scale has completed its reading, you will receive a detailed print out explaining your unique body composition analysis. It is recommended to test every 2-4 weeks to monitor and track the progress.
