Bathroom scales for the home are increasingly popular as everyone becomes more aware of their weight. A set of scales in your bathroom or bedroom offers a convenient way to control your weight and your health. But what type of scale is best for you and what is the best way to use it?
There are, in general, two types to consider: mechanical and digital. The final decision among these is a matter of personal choice, but here are some factors to consider:
Mechanical bathroom scales are the most traditional type and show their weight through a dial that moves under a pointer or the pointer that moves on a fixed disc. This type of scale is driven by a spring; when on the scale, the spring is tensioned by different amounts and a series of connected levers move the dial or pointer on the dial. Mechanical bathroom scales generally do not require any power source and you have control over their accuracy through a calibration dial that allows you to reset the reading to zero when there is nothing on the scale. However, its accuracy is sometimes questioned.

The digital bathroom scales are the most modern and are becoming increasingly popular. The digital scales are invariably electronic and generally work with a small battery, although some models are connected to the electricity grid and some even use solar energy. Its weight is displayed on an LCD or LED screen and the plate on which it is located is often similar to that of mechanical scales, so the often the only difference between the two types of bathroom scales is the screen. Recently, however, digital scales increasingly use a sheet of glass to get up and look very modern and artistic. Digital bathroom scales are generally considered the most accurate of the two types.
Increasingly, digital digital bathroom scales are becoming increasingly popular and their style makes them almost a work of art, unlike the black square on the corner of your bathroom.
But is it all the stairs do? The answer is No. Home bathroom scales can also provide an indication of your body’s fat content by using small (non-perceptible) currents that run through your body through your feet. If you can program it with your height, you can also indicate your body mass index (BMI).

In addition, personal scales can now provide a rudimentary tracking mechanism, which tells you if your weight tends to increase or decrease. If there are several members of your family who use the stairs, there will be a way to distinguish between the stairs. In mechanical scales it is easy: simple plastic displacement indicators, one color per person, can be used to indicate the previous measurement (quite similar to the way old barometers worked). On digital scales there must be a way to tell the stairs what person you are, and it becomes more complex; I would suggest that a small notebook and pencil will work just as well.
Regardless of the type of scale you choose, you must use it correctly: always measure at the same time of day and in the same conditions. Ideally, in the morning before breakfast, but after going to the bathroom, and naked. By the way, did you know that the human body usually loses several kilos at night just because of the loss of fluids? Your body weight fluctuates during the day due to what you consume and your activities, so it is important to measure the weight in a controlled manner so that the movement of the weight can be monitored correctly.
Therefore, carefully choose the scales of your bathroom: decide what you want from the scale, decide the type and then make a selection of the wide range available, and you will be on track to control the weight!
