There are many methods for determining hydration status, including monitoring body mass changes, measuring various blood markers, and analysis of urine (urinalysis). An effective and simple way to determine the level of dehydration is to monitor body weight changes.
An easy way to monitor your hydration level is to check the color of your urine. The darker your urine, the less hydrated you are. Drink enough fluids to keep your urine a lighter color. If your urine is clear or pale, chances are you are well hydrated.
