Body Water; Muscle Mass - Smart Weigh Body Fat Scale Product Manual

It is best to measure body fat and weight daily at the same time� For the best accuracy use this scale
without clothing� Feet must be bare and clean and for best readings they should be slightly damp�
Body water is an 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 is critical to healthy function in the body� It performs a number of important roles in the body� All
the cells in the body can only function properly if they have enough water� Water also plays a vital role in
regulating the body's temperature, specifically through
and fat measurements may appear to be normal, but your body hydration level could be insufficient
for healthy living�
This scale measures your weight, the electrical impedance between your feet, and then combines those
readings with personal information you entered (height, age, gender)� It uses this information to calculate
your body fat percentage� Please note that your level of hydration (water content) varies throughout the
day and thus affects your impedance measurements� If you are dehydrated, there is a greater chance of
fluctuation in the body fat percentage displayed by this scale than when you are fully hydrated�
For best results, choose a consistent time to use this analyzer, such as in the morning� By establishing the
pattern of your body's fluctuations over a period of one month, you can determine your average level�
Women will have more fluctuations in water content than men and need to monitor their readings over
a longer period to establish a personal average� Wait several hours before taking a reading when drinking
coffee or alcohol, taking diuretic medications, or exercising� These all affect the level of hydration and the
accuracy of the scale�
Men
Women
Body water measurements 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�
Measurements such as body weight, body fat, and body water are tools for you to use as part of your
healthy lifestyle� Since short term fluctuations can be normal, we suggest that you chart your progress
over time, rather than focus on a single day's reading�
An inactive lifestyle can cause a loss of lean body mass while body fat increases� There are many benefits in
gaining muscle mass such as: reversing the decline in strength, bone density, and muscle mass with aging,
and maintenance of flexible joints�
Proper calorie intake and nutrition are vital in maintaining a healthy body� Consult your physician before
undertaking any exercise or diet program�
