Probably from not drinking enough

Kidneys aren't working as strong in old age.

I work outside all day and the only time I have been hospitalized for it was due to stomach flu. Gotta drink a lot of water and know when to call it quits in the heat.

I see tourists dropping like flies all summer because they are not use to the heat. They sit in AC every day and then go on vacation out in the heat but they continue their usual diet of junk food and soda.

Going to bathroom every 5 minutes is a huge hassle so they just stop drinking altogether.

It's surprisingly simple--mostly they refuse to drink enough.

You have to literally tell them to drink water because they have less capacity of feeling thirsty.

This, plus feeling bloated after drinking. My 82 y/o mom forces herself to finish one 16.9 oz. bottle of water at a time, she hates the way she feels after. She's been dehydrated, but still forces herself to drink, but just that little bit.
