\u00a0Tips *For people over 60*<\/div>\n
… importance of drinking water\/fluids<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Zainab Tanimu<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Kaduna,\u00a0 North-West,\u00a0 Nigeria<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A physician, Arnaldo Liechtenstein, in his piece has stressed on the need for regular intake of water and fluid for people within the bracket age of 60.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
According to him, “Whenever I teach clinical medicine to students in the fourth year of medicine, I ask the following question.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What are the causes of mental confusion in the elderly?<\/div>\n
The students\u00a0 he says give different\u00a0 answers.<\/div>\n
\n
“Some offer: “Tumors in the head”.\u00a0 I answer: No!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
“And they are even more open-mouthed when I list the three most common causes:<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
– uncontrolled diabetes;<\/div>\n
– urinary infection;<\/div>\n
– dehydration<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It may sound like a joke, but it isn’t.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He said,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“People over 60 constantly stop feeling thirsty and consequently stop drinking fluids.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
When no one is around to remind them to drink fluids, they quickly dehydrate.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n
Dehydration is severe and affects the entire body. It may cause abrupt mental confusion, a drop in blood pressure, increased heart palpitations, angina (chest pain), coma and even death.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Arnaldo Liechtenstein stated that,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
*This habit of forgetting to drink fluids begins at age 60, when we have just over 50% of the water we should have in our bodies.\u00a0 People over 60 have a lower water reserve. This is part of the natural aging process.*<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
But there are more complications. Although they are dehydrated, they don’t feel like drinking water, because their internal balance mechanisms don’t work very well.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
He concluded\u00a0 saying,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0“People over 60 years old dehydrate easily, not only because they have a smaller water supply, but also because they do not feel the lack of water in the body.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Although people over 60 may look healthy, the performance of reactions and chemical functions can damage their entire body.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To overcome this problem it is important that one does the following.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n
One getting into the habit of drinking liquids*.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u00a0“Liquids include water, juices, teas, coconut water, milk, soups, and water-rich fruits, such as watermelon, melon, peaches and pineapple;\u00a0 Orange and tangerine also work.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The important thing is that, every two hours, you must drink some liquid.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Family members he advised should be of great help by constantly offering fluids to people over 60.\u00a0 At the same time, observe them.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“If you realize that they are rejecting liquids and, from one day to the next, they are irritable, breathless or display a lack of attention, these are almost certainly recurrent symptoms of dehydration.” He cautioned.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
