Did you know that older adults can be more vulnerable to dehydration, especially during warmer weather? π¦
The signs aren't always obvious, but a few simple habits can help.
Here are three ways to support a loved one to stay hydrated:
π Offer drinks little and often
Regular sips throughout the day can help make staying hydrated easier.
π Include water-rich foods
Foods such as melon, strawberries, cucumber and oranges can help contribute to daily fluid intake.
β° Make hydration part of a routine
Having a drink with meals or other regular daily activities can help make it easier to remember.
