THE IMPORTANCE OF KEEPING HYDRATED
Drinking enough water each day is crucial for many reasons: to regulate body temperature, keep joints lubricated, prevent infections, deliver nutrients to cells, and keep organs functioning properly. Being wellhydrated also improves sleep quality, cognition, and mood. It is especially important during the summer months. This can be a challenge for most of us but for some older adults and those with Dementia it can be harder to effectively manage.
Why keep hydrated?
The body is made up of roughly 60% of water which is needed to enable the brain and body to function effectively. Your body uses water in all its cells, organs, and tissues to help regulate its temperature and maintain other bodily functions. Because your body loses water through breathing, sweating, and digestion, it’s important to rehydrate by drinking fluids and eating foods that contain water. Being properly hydrated is also needed for some medications to work effectively.
What can happen when dehydrated?
Being dehydrated can have serious health implications in older adults and those with Dementia. It can increase UTI’s (Urinary Tract Infections), impair our thinking, change our mood, cause dizziness and can increase the instances of falls. Sometimes dehydration can lead to hospitalisation and decrease the effective function of organs in the body such as the kidneys. Signs of dehydration. n Added confusion and delirium n Dry lips n Headache n Dizziness n Dark coloured, strong smelling urine n Weakness Here are some tips to increase fluid intake, particularly helpful for those with memory loss 1. Always have a drink close by at mealtimes and throughout the day 2. Add to water rich foods to meals and snacks, such as courgettes, cucumber and melon 3. Tea, coffee, squashes and fruit juices can also aid hydration 4. Some people prefer hot drinks to cold or the other way around, experiment with beverages at different temperatures, why not try an iced tea or coffee 5. Try smoothies, sports drinks, milkshakes and flavoured water, or even adding fruit to flavour plain water 6. Use visual aids as reminders to add fluid intake - pictures of a glass of water/cup of tea with a specific time next to it are helpful For more information visit www.nhs.uk
