With summer upon us, ensuring that your aging parents stay hydrated is critical to their health. As their bodies age, they become less sensitive to feeling thirsty, their kidneys may not function as efficiently, or medications (like blood pressure medications) can flush needed fluids from their body. If someone is regularly under-hydrated, it can cause fatigue, headaches, confusion, or lead to a urinary tract infection (UTI).
Because water lacks taste and sugary drinks can be harmful, a London-based company created a unique hydration solution with the visual appeal of a flavored drink. Jelly Drops are bite-sized pods of edible water that look like colorful candies with a texture and look similar to gelatin. Each drop comprises 95% water (electrolytes make up the other 5%) and is sugar-free, vegan-friendly, and gluten-free.
Regular fluid intake is an essential part of daily life and necessary to maintain bodily functions. For seniors with dementia or Parkinson's disease, who may not like the feel of liquid in their mouths, staying hydrated can be even more of a challenge. With fun flavors like raspberry, peach, and lemon, Jelly Drops are a convenient and inviting way for anyone to stay hydrated.
