Dehydration statistics clearly show that the older we get the drier we get.Another of the many dehydration statistics also suggests that 80 - 90% of us do not drink enough water and may suffer from chronic dehydration. The table below describes how much we water we lose as we age. (To learn more about dehydration statistics as related to numbers, effects, remediation & especially, dehydration in hospitals - a huge problem - click here.)
The finding that dehydration begins in the fetus is very interesting and might suggest that some dehydration is simply unavoidable. From 4th month until birth the fetus loses 13% of it's water. This process continues until we reach our senior years. So some elderly dehydration is normal according to dehydration statistics. However, some of the dehydration seems to come from not drinking water. Drink water! Especially if you are apt to lose fluids through activities or health problems. And especially as you age. ___________________________________________________________
