Water and Wellness
Join us on a journey to health and wellness as we share important habits to incorporate into our daily routines.
We all know hydration is key to overall health and wellness but it's even more important for seniors. Being sufficiently hydrated is a great way to help improve and maintain health, as hydration helps regulate body temperature, acts as a shock absorber and lubricant, aids digestion, and eliminates waste. Water can also help maintain physical strength, promote cardiovascular function, boost skin appearance, and lend energy. That’s why it’s so important for seniors to drink plenty of water throughout the day—even if there isn't always a craving for it like when we were younger. To stay hydrated on their journey to health, seniors should aim for consuming between 8-10 8oz glasses of water daily!
Some Healthy Habits to incorporate into your day:
Drink water often and regularly
Take Breaks to prevent dehydration
Stay away from caffeine and sugary drinks
Choose fresh fruit over sweets
Enjoy the benefits of improved overall health and wellness!
