Did you know that as we age, our body's natural "thirst signal" becomes a little quieter? This means many older people can become slightly dehydrated without even realising it. Dehydration can lead to tiredness, confusion, and even a higher risk of falls. A simple tip: don't wait until you're thirsty! Keeping a colourful jug of water on the side or enjoying hydrating snacks like melon and cucumber can make a huge difference in your energy levels throughout the day.
