We had a body check up road show today in the company and my colleague brought a Karada Scan machine for us to try it out. Karada Scan is an interesting piece of machine which uses electrons to measure not only your weight but your body fat and other data as well. I do not really know how it actually works which it can also give you your actual Body age.

The reading given to me indicate that I am slightly Overweight! My body age is 5 years older than my actual age! Is the reading correct? However I do feel older than my age from time to time.

Here are some breakdown of my reading.

Weight:	64.2 Kg
Body Fat in Percentage:	23.8% Average Healthy Men Fat level from age 19-39 years should be below 24%.
Skeletal Muscles in Percentage:	31.3%
Visceral Fat Level (VFA):	8 Visceral Fat (Abdominal Fat) is the fat that surrounds the vital organs on the trunk/ Stomach area of the body. 1-9 is consider Low Risk.
Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR):	1502 Kcal/day This is the amount of Kcal you burn even you do not do anything Healthy Range for Asian range is between 18.5 - 22.9
Body Mass Index (BMI):	23.9 For Asian healthy range for is between 18.5 - 22.9. That mean I am slightly overweight!
Actual Body Age:	38 ( 0.o I wanna cry already!! )

Believe the reading and how the machine actually work or not it is really up to individual.
However I really need to get down to do some serious exercise. The exercise I get to do everyday is to walk my dog.
Guess I have to do better than that.
Maybe I should RUN my dog for a change. Hahaha
