Elderly

Elderly travellers usually have particular special needs pertaining to chronic illnesses and hydration. When going on a trip, elderly persons should keep in mind that travelling can be demanding at their age and the risk of injuries increases as well as the possibility to dehydrate, especially if they travel internationally. This does not mean they must not travel. Being in a good hydration state and maintaining the proper hydration state can reduce some risks. It is highly advisable to avoid caffeinated drinks and alcoholic beverages as far as possible. Hypotonic sports drinks can also help to improve their hydration state during their travels or when reliable water sources are not available or are in doubt.
