What is Body Water?

Total Body Water is the amount of water
retained in the body, and comprises
between 50%-70% of the total body
weight. Generally, men tend to have
higher water weight than woman due to a
greater amount of muscle. Athletes also
tend to have 5-8% more Total Body Water
due to more muscle mass. Staying within
the proper Body Water range is very
important in order to stay healthy. It plays
an important role in the regulation of body
temperature, removal of waste from the
body, cell metabolism, and keeping skin
and tissues moist.
