(BIA), a factor which is associated with the
body fat and body water ratio and which is
subject to other biological aspects (age, sex,
height).
There are heavy people with a well-balanced
relation between fat and muscular mass and
there are apparently slender people with
substantially higher body fat values. Fat is a
factor that contributes to burdening the body
and, in particular, the circulatory system.
The checks of both values (fat and weight)
are hence a basic prerequisite for health and
fitness.
Body Fat
Body fat is an important part of the body.
Fat plays an important role in your body
ranging from the protection of joints with its
reserve of vitamins to the regulation of the
body temperature. The goal is not to reduce
drastically the quantity of fat in your body, but
to reach and maintain a balanced relation
between the muscular mass and the fat mass.

The significance of water for
our health
The human organism consists of approximately
55-60% water, with this quantity varying
according to age and sex. Water has a
number of tasks to fulfi l in the body:
It is a building block of our cells. This means
that all cells in the body, whether these are
skin, gland, muscle, brain or other cells, can
only function if they receive enough water.
It is a solvent for important substances in our
organism.
It is a means of transport for nutrients, the
body's own substances and metabolic
products. Please see the table of guideline
values for the reference value for your fitness
profi le. It shows that there is a relation
between the body fat values and your age
and sex. Always bear in mind that, as in the
case of the water balance in your body, also
the share of fat is subject to great variations.
Therefore, weigh yourself always at the same
hour of the day to obtain a comparable value.
The results of the analysis of the body fat and
body water ratio are only reference values.
They are not recommended for use for medical
purposes. You should always consult your
doctor if you have any questions about medical
treatment or a diet to achieve your normal
weight.
