Have you ever wondered if you’re drinking enough water? You’re not alone. Many older adults assume they’re well-hydrated — especially if they don’t feel thirsty. But did you know aging diminishes thirst signals, so mature adults may not be able to count on thirst as a reminder to drink fluids. As we get older, it’s easy to fall behind on fluids without realizing it. In fact, over half of older adults in one study didn’t know that dehydration can lead to low blood pressure or other serious health risks. In this article we translate nutrition science and offer simple ways to stay hydrated and support your health every day.
