USER MANUAL JC1420 Joycare

VARIATION OF BODY FAT THROUGHOUT THE DAY Levels of body hydration, lifestyle and daily habits can inuence the detection of the percentage of body fat. A detection performed during the early hours of the morning will calculate a higher percentage of fat because after a long nights sleep, the body tends to be dehydrated. For a more accurate reading and in order to compare different detections it is recommendable to use the product at the same hour of the day and under the same conditions. Before measuring it is important to remember that: - The percentage could be lower after having taken a bath - The percentage could be higher after eating or drinking - Detections could be irregular during a woman’s menstrual cycle - The percentage of water in our body can be reduced after having been ill or after heavy physical activity, as these conditions make us sweat more than usual. WHAT IS THE PERCENTAGE OFWATER IN THE BODY? The percentage of water present in the human body corresponds to the quantity of liquids expressed in a percentage ,according to the total weight of the individual, and it is calculated using a particular scientic formula, also used by expert dieticians. It is important to know that the water inside our body performs a fundamental function and is in all tissue and body organs: approximately 50-65% of our body is made of water. Thanks to these scales it is possible to keep the percentage of water under control, which is fundamental for correct functioning of our body. The percentage value of water present in a healthy individual is as follows: WOMEN from 45-60% MEN from 50-65% VARIATION OF THE PERCENTAGE OFWATER THROUGHOUT THE DAY To obtain a reliable detection it is recommended to measure the percentage of water in the evening (before dinner) as hydration levels are more normal during this hour of the day. In any case, to relate various measurements it is always recommendable to respect established hours.The percentage of water tends to be lower if detected in the morning and this is because the body dehydrates during sleep and above all because during the night liquids tend to concentrate in the torso (whereas during the day thanks to the force of gravity they spread out in a homogeneous manner). Factors that tend to modify the percentage of water are: sleeping,6

eating and/or drinking, physical activity, having a bath, consumption of medicines, physical conditions and urination.
