How Body Fat Percentage Fluctuates
It is recommended that you choose a
time slot to measure body fat and then
monitor it regularly at the same condition.
Ideally, body hydration level is most stable
during late afternoon, right before dinner.
Please note the many factors may alter
an individual’s body fat measurement,
including alcohol consumption, taking
a bath or exercising, waking up, eating,
fever and illnesses.

BODY WATER
What is Body Water?
Total Body Water is the amount of water
retained in the body, and comprises
between 50%-70% of the total body
weight. Generally, men tend to have
higher water weight than woman due to a
greater amount of muscle. Athletes also
tend to have 5-8% more Total Body Water
due to more muscle mass. Staying within
the proper Body Water range is very
important in order to stay healthy. It plays
an important role in the regulation of body
temperature, removal of waste from the
body, cell metabolism, and keeping skin
and tissues moist.
NOTE
A person’s Body Water level can
fluctuate by 2kg during the day.
NOTE
A person under the influence of
alcohol, medicine, Dropsy, or heavy
exercise may exhibit lower-than-normal
Body Water level due to dehydration.
