Did you know that summer heat can increase the dehydration risks for seniors? As we age, a person's thirst and appetite may decline. This makes it harder to recognize when more fluids are needed. The best thing to do is stay proactive when it comes to fluid intake. If you have trouble drinking fluids, try including water-rich foods with every meal. These include cucumbers, watermelon, lettuce, strawberries, tomatoes, and celery. If you’re looking for additional tips on how to stay hydrated, ask your healthcare provider. Getting enough water each day is an easy yet vital way to stay healthy and active as an older adult.

📊 Findings from Harry’s study revealed:

✔️ 93% reduction in stress & distress
✔️ Increased patient engagement
✔️ Lower use of medication on music therapy days
