Body Fat and Water Level Analyzer KH 390
Thank you for purchasing our Body Fat and Water Level Analyzer. This handy appliance will help
you to control your body – anytime and anywhere. Weight is not the proper indicator for health and
fitness. It is much more important to know what weight is composed of. Too high body fat rates can
result in serious diseases as diabetes, hypertension or heart disease. Too low body fat rates can
lead to deficiency symptoms hence body fat saves vitamins and energy for times of need. Furthermore
it protects inner organs and regulates body temperature.
Body fat rate varies depending on age and sex. Following table shows how much body fat is regarded
as healthy:
