Proper hydration is vitally important during this cold time of year

Natural Mineral Waters Europe recently issued this useful statement:
Proper hydration is vitally important during this cold time of year, and certain groups are at increased risk.

Children, especially younger children, don’t have a developed thirst mechanism, so they rely on others for access to water. Combined with problems with thermoregulation, the winter months can be quite harsh on their health.

As humans grow older, they have a lower body water content and a decreased thirst sensation. Because of this, older people are also reliant on others to provide them with adequate water.

Remember, staying hydrated is an important factor in one’s well-being, even in the winter months and holidays.
