National Hydration Day Monday, June 23 Hydration is crucial for elderly individuals to
maintain overall health and well-being, as dehydration can lead to serious health complications. The body needs water for various functions, and as we age, certain factors increase the risk of dehydration, including decreased thirst sensation, reduced kidney function, and potential medication side effects. Here is a more detailed look at why hydration is important for older people: y Water is essential for bodily functions, including transporting nutrients and oxygen, regulating the body’s temperature, and flushing out waste. y There is an increased risk of dehydration because the sense of thirst can diminish with age, making it harder for older adults to recognize when they need to drink. y Kidney function can decline with age, affecting the body’s ability to concentrate urine and retain water. y Some consequences of dehydration in older adults can affect their physical, cognitive, emotional, and health complications, leading to increased risk of falls, infections, and hospitalizations. There are many tips for staying hydrated, such as setting an alarm throughout the day to remind yourself to drink water. You can also bring a water bottle to events like movie nights, shopping, and while walking outdoors. It is also recommended to limit caffeine and alcohol intake, as they can increase fluid loss. You should also seek guidance from your doctor if you have questions or concerns about hydration or are experiencing symptoms of dehydration.
