Dehydration is a major concern in almost all healthcare settings.

Rehydrating patients is not always easy to administer. No two individuals are alike. lt is typically managed on a case-by-case basis while factoring in other complexities of a patient. lt is obvious providing a hydration solution can be difficult.1, 2, 3

Water is a necessity for fluid balance and the primary component of blood.

Electrolytes are necessary for water to stay in the body's cells and tissues. Water is arguably the default "go-to" for rehydrating. However, water alone can't put back all the minerals the body requires. In comparison, too much water, or overhydrating, can cause mineral imbalance in the blood.4, 5

HYDRATION

Vital for the Golden Years

Hydrating the older generations

Americans' longevity of life has increased over the years, which has contributed to older adults being one of the fastest-growing groups in the U.S.13

DEHYDRATI0N is a costly problem among older adults that is difficult to identify, monitor and very difficult to manage. Emerging evidence suggests a strong association between dehydration and rehospitalizations among long term care residents.14, 15

More than 800,000 Americans reside in assisted living facilities, and this number will grow. Roughly 70% of people age 65 and older will need some type of long term care during their lifetime.16

A vast array of medical conditions further exacerbate the dehydration risk in older adults such as: cognitive impairment, mobility limitations, medications, overall malnutrition, dysphagia and much more. Dehydration among these individuals is known to trigger or worsen urinary tract infections, kidney stones, electrolyte imbalances, to name a few. Moreover, dehydration has been linked to an increased risk of falls, pressure ulcers, and overall decline in functional status, ultimately diminishing their quality of life.17, 18

The Sqwincher® brand approach is to promote hydration all throughout the day to avoid the onset of dehydration. Other brands are designed for recovery AFTER you are dehydrated, rather Sqwincher® products are designed to help you maintain and sustain daily hydration.

Sqwincher® electrolytes recent expansion and collaboration with the Thick-It® brand now offers you even more hydration solutions – we call it HydrationCare360! It is a full-circle perspective on the importance of hydration and its role in all aspects of health. When we say “for everyone”, this includes those with swallowing disorders or modified diets who need their electrolytes also.


Electrolytes aren’t just critical in sports settings after you’ve worked up a good sweat. They are a key part of good health and ensuring the proper functioning of the overall body. The body must maintain a delicate balance between the various electrolytes, since even small fluctuations can cause serious side effects.

Choose wisely! Not every electrolyte beverage fits all. Everyone is unique in their own way and have various dietary preferences. It is also important to consider health and premedical conditions when selecting an electrolyte. Some individuals do best with low sodium (hypertensive), no sugar and low calorie (diabetics), or dye-free options. The Sqwincher® brand is ready to assist.
