Hydration: Elders and Hydration

Water is well known for its revitalizing properties. Yet even though it is vital to health, it frequently gets overlooked as an essential nutrient. This can result in vulnerable individuals missing out on the support and guidance they need to maintain a healthy level of hydration.

Older people are a diverse group with individual needs, desires, and aspirations, which includes maintaining their own health and fitness. As we get older our body’s needs and health concerns change due to an increasing susceptibility to degenerative disease.

Water can make a valuable contribution to health in old age. Older people have very similar water requirements to those of younger adults.
