You should always be on the lookout for new tools that you can add to your kit. An EKG caliper offers an easy, quick and inexpensive way to measure body fat. These calipers are common tools for doctor’s offices, health clubs, nutrition offices and in households of health-conscious individuals.

These calipers measure fat on the side of a person’s arm, in the waist area, or at the side of the calf. They measure body fat of adults as well as children. High body fat can lead to heart disease, diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure and cholesterol. These items help monitor against high body fat.

Having calipers around the home ensures privacy while measuring body fat, and allows people to keep track of changes in their health. They are very important tools for doctor’s offices as well. Doctor’s are able to use these calipers to assess the fat levels in their patients and then advise them toward the best course of action.

Merely using a weight scale is not enough to determine one’s body fat. Scales measure the entire body, including bones, muscles, etc. These calipers assess body fat only. These tools are also a bit more accurate. For example, a person who is exercising and dieting might get on a scale and learn she has only lost five pounds. However, they can show that she probably lost nine pounds of fat and gained four pounds of muscle. This item, therefore, is a valuable tool when paired with diet and exercise.
