The Overall Health Balance Scale from National Electric is possibly the most high tech weapon we’ve seen yet to fight the much-discussed “metabo” (metabolic syndrome). Not only does the device measure your weight, BMI, subcutaneous fat ratio, organ fat level, muscle level, and basal metabolic rate, it also ranks you in each category on a five point scale and gives you an overall health rating based on your age.
The easy to read screen, attached to the scale by a pull string, can be brought all the way up to eye level, eliminating the problem of not being able to see the scale beyond one’s belly.
The screen also acts as a sensor for determining the amount of subcutaneous fat: while holding the device over key points, like the stomach, thighs, and upper arms, the sensor will scan the depth of the undesirable stuff and reveal the data in millimeters.
As if that weren’t enough, the balance scale can rate your balance and posture using four additional sensors to help you find your center of gravity.
If this doesn’t curb “metabo” we don’t know what will. Available from May 1st, price yet to determined.
What’s Japanese for “you should be dead already”?
That’s what I fear this thing would say if I dared stand on it. Either that, or “Oof! Get off me!!!” :)
