Body Water/Hydration Levels
General health standards indicate that one should consume approximately 64 oz. of water per day to maintain a healthy level of hydration. According to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2001), the percentage of body water should lie within the following ranges:

Body Water/Hydration Level – how is it measured?
The hydration level is measured by using Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA). The same analysis that is used to calculate your body fat is used to calculate your hydration level. The Thinner Body Water microprocessor again measures impedance or transmission speed through water. Taking into consideration a user’s age and gender, a calculation is made that determines the percentage of water.
Please Note: It is not recommended to take the hydration measurements in certain situations, such as following exercise, after drinking a glass of water, or directly prior to, during, or shortly after menstrual cycles. Hydration may not be at its normal level during these times. If you have any questions or concerns about your readings, contact your healthcare provider.
