Your new bathroom scale is extremely reliable and precise, it does not require any sort of
maintenance. To improve the reading, weigh yourself twice, and if the weights are different,
your weight is the middle of the two readings.
Always weigh yourself on the same scale, at the same time of day, preferably undressed
and before breakfast.
Caution! The surface of the scale can be slippery, if wet.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS IN THIS
HANDBOOK BEFORE USE AND KEEP IT IN A SAFE PLACE.
THE BODY WEIGHT
Checking the weight means performing an energetic balance: such balance results from
the ratio between the quantity of ingested nutrients, i.e. the ingested calories, and the actually
consumed calories.
The daily necessary quantity of energy depends on the metabolism, on the life-style and on
the type of activities performed by each single person.
Controlling one's own weight is essential in order to protect health effectively: eating well
means being healthy.
It has been proved that most of diseases, many of which extremely dangerous, are associated
to unbalanced eating habits not only in terms of quality but also in terms of quantity.
Among the most known, the following ones should be mentioned:
• ischemic heart diseases;
• cerebrovascular diseases;
• diabetes mellitus;
• intestine tumors;
• etc.
All these diseases are present above all among obese persons: therefore, controlling the
weight together with controlling the quality of the nutrients becomes one of the essential
factors to prevent diseases.
Healthy eating means selecting the foodstuffs that supply the body with all the necessary
nutriment to grow and keep the physiological functions and the biochemical processes
balanced.
Hints for a healthy feeding and to contr
ol weight:
• To follow a balanced diet it is necessary not to exceed in the consumption of the same
types of food neglecting the essential elements contained in other types of food, as well
as not eating more than needed.
A healthy diet includes suitable quantities of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, fibers, vitamins
and minerals, as well as, obviously, water.
• Having a complete meal only once a day is a bad habit. It is better to have many small
meals instead of just an abundant one.
Three meals a day and a sneak in the middle of the morning or of the afternoon represent
the basis for a correct feeding.
• It is suggested to sit down and relax when eating. Select a comfortable environment can
be relevant.
• Do not eat when you are focused on doing other activities, i.e. when you are watching
TV or working, in order to avoid eating too much without even noticing it.
To support the digestion process it is recommended to eat slowly and chew well, enjoying
the color, taste and consistency of the food.
• Combining a correct feeding to physical activity is an essential condition to allow
increasing the metabolism, consuming more calories and remaining in good shape.
• It is important to remember that with age human body seems to need less energy due to
still not so clear reasons (maybe due to the fact that one leads a less active life): however,
many aged people do not reduce their consumption of food and tend to grow fat.
Getting used to follow a balanced diet is surely of help in increasing the quality of life,
promoting health and preventing diseases, as well as in increasing vitality and remaining
in good shape!
Caution!!!
• Never follow diets autonomously, always refer to a doctor or dietician.
• Self-measurement means control, not diagnosis or treatment.
Unusual values have always to be discussed with one's own physician.
Under no circumstances must you change the dose of medicines prescribed
by your Doctor.
