Scales with body composition analyzer

% body fluid

— determination of the percentage of fluid (water) in the body.

This function helps detect both dehydration and excess water retention. Mild dehydration can lead to fatigue and a decline in well-being, while severe dehydration can result in serious health issues. Excess water retention, on the other hand, causes swelling and can indicate strain on internal organs, often the heart or kidneys, either due to an underlying illness or temporary factors like hot weather or high salt intake. Additionally, monitoring liquid levels is beneficial in various situations, such as bodybuilders reducing water intake before competitions to enhance muscle definition.

Anyway, measuring the percentage of fluid allows you to assess the situation with water in the body and, if necessary, take measures to correct it. Note that for each person, the fluid content rate is calculated individually, in accordance with age, gender, physique, health characteristics, etc. Methods for determining this rate can be found in special sources.
