The summers in Texas can be quite brutal with temperatures reaching over 100 degrees for multiple days in a row. It is important to continue to stay hydrated since the body loses more water during the summer than the winter. Seniors must be especially careful, because they tend to get dehydrated quicker than younger adults; their body has gone through so many changes and may not recognize that they are thirsty. Also, certain medications and health conditions can cause a senior to become dehydrated quicker. Here are the facts: Symptoms of Dehydration: Dry mouth, lightheadedness, dizziness, feeling really thirsty or hungry, thick or gummy saliva, dark urine or little urine, muscle cramping, headaches, fatigue, irritability, and sleepiness Symptoms of Severe Dehydration: Low blood pressure, very severe cramping, convulsions, rapid heartbeat, dry eyes, sunken eyes, rapid breathing, and flaccid skin. Daily Water Recommendations: Senior adults are recommended to drink 8 glasses (6 - 8 oz. of water per glass) of water per day. This can vary for some individuals, especially those who are more active. Therefore, always discuss with your doctor the right amount you should be consuming daily. Ways To Increase Your Water Consumption: • Take a water bottle around with you throughout the day • Keep a water glass where you will see it, such as the countertop, coffee table, or nightstand to remind yourself to drink more • If you don’t like the taste of water, infuse it with different ingredients such as lemons, limes, other fruit, cucumbers, mint, or ginger • Set a timer to go off every hour to remind yourself to have a glass of water or some type of liquid • Try a variety of liquids besides just water, such as tea, coffee, whole fruit, or 100% fruit juices
