Body hydration percentage indicates the amount of fluids you have
in your body. Water in your system is important because it regulates
body temperature, converts food into energy and protects vital
organs. Individuals with more body fat have proportionately less total
body water and are more susceptible to fluid imbalances that cause
dehydration.
When tracking your body hydration level you should consider the
following:
1. Take your hydration measurements the same time of day.
2. Monitor you readings to establish a personal body hydration range.
3. Do not drink any caffeinated or alcoholic drinks before taking a
measurement.
4. Drink water if dehydration is detected.

The Health o meter

Body Fat Monitoring Scale can help you in achieving your
physical best by providing five critical measurement estimates: BODY WEIGHT,
BODY FAT COMPOSITION, BODY HYDRATION, BODY MASS INDEX, and
SUGGESTED DAILY CALORIC INTAKE; in addition, it helps you track your
progress to a goal by allowing you to set your weight goal and calculating the
weight differences between your starting point, your previously saved weight
and your set weight goal.
Traditional bathroom scales indicate your overall weight—both lean mass and
body fat together. The Health o meter
®
Body Fat Monitoring Scale lets you
track your weight, body fat and body hydration separately.

Body hydration percentage indicates the amount of fluids you have
in your body. Water in your system is important because it regulates
body temperature, converts food into energy and protects vital
organs. Individuals with more body fat have proportionately less total
body water and are more susceptible to fluid imbalances that cause
dehydration.
When tracking your body hydration level you should consider the
following:
1. Take your hydration measurements the same time of day.
2. Monitor you readings to establish a personal body hydration range.
3. Do not drink any caffeinated or alcoholic drinks before taking a
measurement.
4. Drink water if dehydration is detected.

Body Fat Monitoring Scale can help you in achieving your
physical best by providing five critical measurement estimates: BODY WEIGHT,
BODY FAT COMPOSITION, BODY HYDRATION, BODY MASS INDEX, and
SUGGESTED DAILY CALORIC INTAKE; in addition, it helps you track your
progress to a goal by allowing you to set your weight goal and calculating the
weight differences between your starting point, your previously saved weight
and your set weight goal.
Traditional bathroom scales indicate your overall weight—both lean mass and
body fat together. The Health o meter

Body Fat Monitoring Scale lets you
track your weight, body fat and body hydration separately.

Body hydration percentage indicates the amount of fluids you have
in your body. Water in your system is important because it regulates
body temperature, converts food into energy and protects vital
organs. Individuals with more body fat have proportionately less total
body water and are more susceptible to fluid imbalances that cause
dehydration.
When tracking your body hydration level you should consider the
following:
1. Take your hydration measurements the same time of day.
2. Monitor you readings to establish a personal body hydration range.
3. Do not drink any caffeinated or alcoholic drinks before taking a
measurement.
4. Drink water if dehydration is detected.

Body Fat Monitoring Scale can help you in achieving your
physical best by providing five critical measurement estimates: BODY WEIGHT,
BODY FAT COMPOSITION, BODY HYDRATION, BODY MASS INDEX, and
SUGGESTED DAILY CALORIC INTAKE; in addition, it helps you track your
progress to a goal by allowing you to set your weight goal and calculating the
weight differences between your starting point, your previously saved weight
and your set weight goal.
Traditional bathroom scales indicate your overall weight—both lean mass and
body fat together. The Health o meter

Body Fat Monitoring Scale lets you
track your weight, body fat and body hydration separately.

Body hydration percentage indicates the amount of fluids you have
in your body. Water in your system is important because it regulates
body temperature, converts food into energy and protects vital
organs. Individuals with more body fat have proportionately less total
body water and are more susceptible to fluid imbalances that cause
dehydration.
When tracking your body hydration level you should consider the
following:
1. Take your hydration measurements the same time of day.
2. Monitor you readings to establish a personal body hydration range.
3. Do not drink any caffeinated or alcoholic drinks before taking a
measurement.
4. Drink water if dehydration is detected.

The Health o meter

Body Fat Monitoring Scale can help you in achieving your
physical best by providing five critical measurement estimates: BODY WEIGHT,
BODY FAT COMPOSITION, BODY HYDRATION, BODY MASS INDEX, and
SUGGESTED DAILY CALORIC INTAKE; in addition, it helps you track your
progress to a goal by allowing you to set your weight goal and calculating the
weight differences between your starting point, your previously saved weight
and your set weight goal.
Traditional bathroom scales indicate your overall weight—both lean mass and
body fat together. The Health o meter
®
Body Fat Monitoring Scale lets you
track your weight, body fat and body hydration separately.
