WEIGHT AND ENERGY-DEPLETING FACTORS: SOME DEHYDRATING FACTORS

There are several other factors that contribute to dehydration. Research has shown that airline cabin pressure can deplete an individual's water balance by as much as 32 ounces an hour. For a two-hour flight, that would equate to 64 ounces; for a cross-country flight, more than 120 ounces. Think of what can occur when you travel overseas. Many of you may have experienced the headache, nausea, or fatigue that result from flying but were not aware of the cause. The chances are great that the cause was dehydration. Please, drink as much water as possible on a plane. You might consider buying some and carrying it on since I have noticed that many airlines have cut back on the amount of water served on flights. Notice they are never out of soda!

One out of ten elderly individuals (those seventy and older) is hospitalized because they are dehydrated. This occurs because, as individuals age, the effectiveness of the thirst mechanism in the body diminishes. Consequently, they don't feel thirsty and drink less fluids. If you, a friend, or a family member is getting older, be aware of this phenomenon and encourage proper hydration. Don't wait for thirst to be your guide. The thirst mechanism kicks in when you are already thirty-two ounces down in water. Therefore, you have to drink four eight-ounce glasses of water to just get your body back into balance. Don't wait for thirst to be your guide, just keep drinking.
