If you have a stressful day, it is easy to forget to drink enough. But even a slight lack of fluid can have an impact on our body. Water is a component and prerequisite of all life. Our blood can only flow because it consists of over 90 percent water. Water is an essential component of our cells; without fluid, our kidneys would not work properly, our muscles would not function and our brain could not perform as well as it should. Water is also an essential component of all metabolic processes in the body. With increasing age, the amount of body water is reduced and the natural feeling of thirst diminishes. In addition, the actions of older people are increasingly characterised by forgetfulness and carelessness. The risk of health- or even life-threatening dehydration increases exponentially. In 2017, more than 125,000 cases of volume deficiency as the main diagnosis were diagnosed in German hospitals, and 5,371 of these patients died while still in hospital. In a further 925,000 cases, volume deficiency was diagnosed as a secondary diagnosis. More than 90 percent of the affected persons were 65 years or older. We want to address these issues with our products and services. If you want to learn more, simply visit our website or contact us. We look forward to hearing from you! LAQA Hydration Management.
