Social Interaction, Losing the Pain of Lonesomeness Solitude is a pain, especially if not prescribed by self People are inclining togetherness How?... Becoming a member of Or being a part of a greater community That is how you quell the burning pain of lonesomeness. Social interaction is an automatic aphrodisiac for soul It pushes, a pull, away from circumstantial grief of loneliness Loneliness is somewhere where no-one ever wants to be! But rather a community, a gathering, a social mingling, hearing another’s voice and reacting to it. Social interaction or a tender hug of touch may mean the difference between contentment and drifting permanently into inevitable solitude.

Still so hot outside, caregivers, encourage hydration, especially to clients with Alzheimer's. Since they may have lost the sensation of thirst or may not like the taste of water. Make it interesting for them. Dehydration has very serious consequences!

Hydration: Identifying the various types of fruits and veggies that contain water; water melon, bell peppers, cantaloupe, eggplant, spinach, strawberry, tomatoes, zucchini, to name a few. Families, add these ingredients to your grocery list and you will be on top of hydrating your elderly loved-ones. When you do this you will not get any surprises, since dehydration creeps up. it will strike hard, especially if you are not looking for it.

Summer is here again, so bust out the blended fruit juices. Add water, fresh fruits to every meal. Make sure that your loved ones are totally hydrated and ready for the heat. Stay away from sugary beverages, dilute as needed using other fresh fruit blends or water. Always make it interesting, by adding chunks of fruity ice cubes or mint leaves. Be consistent, your elderly loved-ones will thank you!

HYDRATION Need To Drink More Water? How? Drink it from a glass, drink it from a cup, drink it from a bowl or even from a plate!... Drink it as juices, drink it as punches or even bundles of blended veggies. Drink it as soups, drink it in deserts, drink it as shakes or crushed up fruits and berries Drink it as simple, so very simple! Drink it as a pure colorless glass of water! Why? Drinking enough water is vital for all living beings and things. Our bodies are approximately 65%. water! Water is vital for our existence. It forms saliva which is vital for the aid of food digestion, it assist the brain during the production of hormones and neurotransmitters, it moistens the muscle membranes, it aids in the reproduction of worn out body cells and tissues, it lubricate the joints, propels oxygen throughout the body, Water sustains the fluids of the brain and spinal cord. Is is also needed to regulate the body’s temperature. The body cannot sustain itself without an adequate supply of water. How Long Can You Survive Without Water? It is not clear about the definite length of time, each person will survive without drinking water. However the dangers of dehydration is almost always a concern to everyone, especially among the senior community. Staying alive without water varies, it depends on the overall physical fitness of the body, and the climatic condition. One may live a little over 14 days without water. Water and the Brain! The necessity of water to the human brain is extremely important. It functions as a barrier against shock. It serves as a transport for various waste matters and dangerous pathogens from the brain. Having enough water in the body will serve the exchange of nutrients throughout the body and brain. Hydration enhances focus, alertness and concentration. The CSF (Cerebrospinal Fluid) is about 90% of the entire brain and spinal cord. It is fluid. Fluid is water, therefore dehydration does negatively affect the brain. Symptoms of dehydration are fatigue, lower cognitive function, lower blood pressure, enhance mood changes, brain shrinkage and dry skin. When the body and brain becomes dehydrated, the brain is expected on to do the same amount of work as would the hydrated brain, as a result one may lose focus and concentration! Alzheimer’s and Dehydration It is easy for people who are living with Alzheimer’s to become dehydrated. They may either forget to drink water, or just don’t like drinking it at all. In all cases fresh fruits, berries, vegetables and water must be added to their daily menu. A beverage is not the same as water. Water is the drink before a sweetening agent or flavoring is added to it. Pure drinking water is usually best. Fresh fruit and vegetable punches may also be added to their diet. Make consistency a priority when planning each meal. There must never be an excuse for dehydration! -Andria Patricia Harris/Dementia Living LLC/09/26/18
