r’ Dehydration means your body loses more water than you take in, and if your body doesn't have enough fluid, it can’t function properly. If it is not treated, dehydration can develop into a serious problem. Anyone can become dehydrated, but the condition can be especially dangerous for young children and older adults. In children, the most common cause of dehydration is severe diarrhea. Older adults naturally have a lower level of water in their bodies, and many take medications that increase urination and, therefore, they raise the risk of dehydration. This means that even minor illnesses such has infections of the lungs or bladder can lead to dehydration. DEHYDRATION IF THEY: are vomiting or have diarrhea drink too much alcohol have diabetes stay in the sun too long produce significant sweat after exercising take diuretics (medicines that increase urination) THERE ARE SOME TELLTALE SIGNS TO WATCH FOR THAT POINT TO DEHYDRATION, INCLUDING: being thirsty dry mouth, lips, or eyes feeling dizzy, lightheaded, or extremely tired urinating fewer than four times a day or passing very little urine urine that is dark yellow and has a strong odour Cold & flu season Because we are in the midst of cold and flu season, it is particularly important to make sure our bodies are well hydrated (meaning they have all the fluid they need to function properly and keep us well). Not only is being well hydrated a part of a healthy lifestyle— along with exercising, eating a nutritious diet, and getting enough sleep—that will help us avoid catching a cold or the flu, it can also help us recover sooner if we do get sick. While flu recovery time can vary, it usually lasts between three and seven days; however, without proper hydration, symptoms may last longer. Solving the problem If you notice any of the warning signs of dehydration, it is important to replace the fluid your body lacks. Proper rehydration means more than just replacing the water your body has lost. Your body also needs electrolytes, substances help us retain fluid and are necessary for nerve and muscle function. An excellent way to replace these elements is with a specially designed rehydration product such as Hydralyte®. Hydralyte is scientifically formulated with the right ratio of glucose and electrolytes to rehydrate you faster than water alone, and Hydralyte’s special formula enables fluids to enter the bloodstream easily. Hydralyte comes in several forms that can be mixed with water to create an oral rehydration solution that contains 75% less sugar and four times the electrolytes as sports drinks. It tastes great, dissolves quickly, and provides the hydration your body needs. FALL/WINTER | 2022 7
