This is often a result of prescribed medications that may cause a diminished sense of thirst. You can keep your loved ones better hydrated by increasing their liquid intake through warmer months when seniors are more vulnerable to dehydration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #2b285f;text-align: left\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Dehydration Symptoms<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When you can recognize the symptoms of dehydration, you\u2019re more likely to notice and take action before a dehydration problem becomes severe. When there is a problem, you must get help promptly.<\/p>\n<p>This following list of symptoms may be the only indicators of dehydration you will see, so call 911 or a healthcare provider to get immediate assistance if these symptoms are present:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Muscles cramping<\/li>\n<li>Skin dryness<\/li>\n<li>Dizziness<\/li>\n<li>Sudden sleepiness<\/li>\n<li>Urine is dark in colour<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"color: #2b285f;text-align: left\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Keep Seniors Hydrated<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Encourage your family and friends to stay hydrated with plenty of fluids. Since our bodies are made up of at least 60% water we must drink plenty of liquid daily, especially on warmer days.<\/p>\n<p>Some people don\u2019t want to drink water because of its lack of taste, but you can offer flavoured waters instead, or add fruit to your pitcher of drinking water at home.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t forget that broth, such as beef, chicken, or vegetable, is a good hydration source. Yet another option is adding portions of hydrating fruits and vegetables into daily meals.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"color: #2b285f;text-align: left\"><span style=\"color: #000000\"><strong>Hydrating Fruits &amp; Vegetables<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Hydrating fruits and vegetables may be the perfect choice in warm weather for seniors because they contain as much as 80% water. The following info is a list of the best hydrating fruits and veggies:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cucumbers<\/li>\n<li>Bell peppers<\/li>\n<li>Tomatoes<\/li>\n<li>Grapes<\/li>\n<li>Apples<\/li>\n<li>Blueberries<\/li>\n<li>Watermelon<\/li>\n<li>Cantaloupe<\/li>\n<li>Oranges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Comfort Keepers\u00ae understands the hydration needs of seniors and can help. Our caregivers are trained to encourage hydration by regularly offering water, fruit-infused water, and other tasty liquids and hydrating foods.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Comfort Keepers\u00ae Edmonton is Proud to Offer a Wide Range of Home Senior Care Services<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our trained caregivers will ensure your loved one is comfortable, independent and safe in their home.
