Older adults naturally have a lower volume of water in their bodies, and may have conditions or take medications that increase the risk of dehydration. Dehydration occurs daily in three out of four people. So when I saw a promotion in Costco’s magazine for Liquid I.V. Hydration Multiplier, I bit. For performance, heat/sun, travel and wellness, yes, that’s me! We’re told that an optimal ratio of nutrients like sodium, potassium, glucose, and water will result in 2-3 times more hydration than water alone. Liquid I.V. has 3 times the electrolytes in typical sport drinks.
Signs of dehydration can include dry mouth, fatigue, dizziness, headaches, confusion, muscle cramps, increased heart rate, thirst, bad breath, muscle fatigue, dark urine, brain fog, and dry skin. I have all except one of those. GIVE ME SOME LIQUID I.V. STAT!
I’m always skeptical about this kind of stuff but I’m giving it a whirl. It tastes okay. Only 45 calories. Now just waiting for those symptoms to fade away.
