WellandGood.com has a sobering explanation of changing hydration needs as we age and suggests how to maintain adequate hydration.
“The amount of water you need to drink changes in tandem with your body composition, which naturally shifts as you age. For most people as the decades march on, fat mass increases while lean mass, or muscle, decreases. Muscle is ‘wetter’ than fat, so as we lose this muscle, we lose the ability to hold on to all that water.”
Pass the water.
