A health study has fund that hydration can significantly impact your physical health and the ageing process. 7NEWS
from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute’s Laboratory of Cardiovascular Regenerative Medicine.
In those studies, lifelong water restriction increased the serum sodium of mice by 5 millimoles per litre and shortened their life span by six months, which equals about 15 years of human life, according to the new study. Serum sodium can be measured in the blood and increases when we drink less fluids.
The participants with higher faster-ageing risk also had a 64 per cent higher risk for developing chronic diseases such as heart failure, stroke, atrial fibrillation, peripheral artery disease, chronic lung disease, diabetes and dementia. Sesso, also a Brigham and Women’s Hospital associate epidemiologist who was not involved in the study, added: “It would have been nice to combine their definition of hydration, based on serum sodium levels only, with actual fluid intake data from the ARIC cohort.”
The study analysed participants over a long period of time, but the findings don’t prove a causal relationship between serum sodium levels and these health outcomes, the authors said. Further studies are needed, they added, but the findings can help doctors identify and guide patients at risk.
