Dehydration And The Elderly

Those over 65 years of age are aware of the changes that take place in our body as we age. Our eyesight gets poor, our hearing becomes less sensitive, our muscles lose their firmness, we get
tired more easily, our memory is not as good as it once was. However, there is one change that is not obvious, and it occurs without any noticeable outwards signs – this is what makes it dangerous,
especially during summer. When the heat causes us to sweat more, and our body’s water supply becomes depleted.

A New Approach to Aging

Human attitude towards growing old has always been one of resignation. We accept aging as part of life, the way life is supposed to be. Along with growing old, probably we have come to expect poorer health. We see sickness as part of what it means to age.

According to current estimates, 80 percent of people over the age of 65 have at least one chronic illness, and 68 percent have two or more chronic illnesses. However, in recent decades, scientists have begun taking a new approach to thinking about and dealing with aging.
