Healthy Aging - Staying Hydrated

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Staying hydrated in summer heat is especially important to maintain both mental and physical health. Dehydration is common amongst older adults and is the most preventable cause of hospitalizations, urinary tract infections, and falls.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">According to the National Council on Aging, 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. 😲 For adults 60 and older, staying hydrated is crucial, as natural drops in thirst levels and changes in body composition increase the risk of dehydration.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Ever wonder how much water is enough to keep you hydrated? Generally speaking, aim for about 1/3 of your body weight in ounces of fluids each day. For instance, if you weigh 150 pounds, try to drink at least 50 ounces of water daily. 💧💪</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Remember, everyone's hydration needs can vary, so it's always a good idea to consult with your doctor to determine what's right for you. Let's prioritize hydration for better health and well-being!</p>
