Did you know that the human adult body is up to 60% water1? Staying well hydrated can be a challenge for almost anyone, but it’s especially true for people with swallowing difficulties. In long term care alone, up to 1/3 of the 1.6 million residents suffer from malnutrition or dehydration2, making it a real danger that must be proactively avoided. A body water loss of 1-2% can impair cognitive performance3. Left untreated, dehydration can limit the body’s ability to fight infections, and lead to kidney failure, seizure, or even death4.
The Thick-It® and Sqwincher® brands have a solution—safe and reliable thickened beverages combined with great tasting electrolyte formulas for all day, every day hydration for everyone. We call it Hydration Care 360™—a full-circle perspective on the importance of hydration and its role in all aspects of health.
Water makes up 79% of our muscles and 73% of our brains1. It’s like oil in a car engine. When you keep your body properly nourished with beverage choices like Thick-It® Clear Advantage® Ready-to Drink thickened water mixed with Sqwincher® Qwik Stik® ZERO sugar-free, low-calorie, your body can function well and feel at its best.
