BODY FAT -WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

The human body is made up of, amongst other things, a percentage of fat. This is vital

for a healthy, functioning body - it cushions joints and protects vital organs, helps

regulate body temperature, stores vitamins and helps the body sustain itself when food

is scarce. However, too much body fat or indeed too little body fat can be damaging to

your health. It is dicult to gauge how much body fat we have in our bodies simply by

looking at ourselves in the mirror. This is why it is important to measure and monitor

your body fat percentage. Body fat percentage gives you a better measure of fitness

than weight alone – the composition of your weight loss could mean you are losing

muscle mass rather than fat - you could still have a high percentage of fat even when a

scale indicates ‘normal weight’.

BODY WATER -WHY MEASURE IT?

Body water is the single most important component of body weight. It represents over

half of your total weight and almost two thirds of your lean body mass (predominantly

muscle). Water performs a number of important roles in the body:

All the cells in the body, whether in the skin, glands, muscles, brain or anywhere else,

can only function properly if they have enough water. Water also plays a vital part in

regulating the body’s temperature balance, particularly through perspiration.

The combination of your weight and fat measurement could appear to be ‘normal’ but

your body hydration level could be insucient for healthy living.

For those using Athlete Mode: note that athletes may have a lower body fat range and a

higher body water range than shown above, depending on their type of sport or activity.

Body water measurement results are influenced by the proportion of body fat and

muscle. If the proportion of body fat is high, or the proportion of muscle is low then the

body water results will tend to be low. It is important to remember that measurements

such as body weight, body fat and body water are tools for you to use as part of your

healthy lifestyle. As short term fluctuations are normal, we suggest you chart your

progress over time, rather than focus on a single days reading.

The Body Water % ranges published are for guidance only. Professional medical

guidance should always be sought before embarking on diet and exercise

programmes.

WHY SHOULD I KNOW MY MUSCLE MASS?

According to the American College of Sports Medicine (ASCM), lean muscle mass may

decrease by nearly 50 percent between the ages of 20 and 90. If you don’t do anything to

replace that loss you’re losing muscle and increasing fat. It is also important to know

your muscle mass % during weight reduction. At rest, the body burns approximately 110

additional calories for each kilo of muscle gained. Some advantages of gaining muscle

mass include:

• Reversingthedeclineinstrength,bonedensityandmusclemassthataccompaniesage

• Maintenanceofexiblejoints

• Guideweightreductionwhencombinedwithahealthydiet.
