Dehydration can pose significant health risks to seniors, leading to issues like fatigue, urinary infections, and confusion. To prevent this, it’s crucial for older adults to drink regularly, not just when thirsty. Opt for water but introduce variety like infused flavors or unsweetened teas. Eating water-rich fruits and vegetables can also help. Keep water accessible, set drinking reminders, and stay vigilant for dehydration symptoms like dry mouth or dizziness. Always consult with a doctor regarding the impact of medications on hydration.
