Welcome to Wellness Wednesdays!

Did you know that drinking enough water can help mitigate some symptoms of PD? 💧

While the average adult should aim for 6–8 cups of water daily under normal health circumstances, research shows that people with Parkinson’s often have reduced fluid intake. This drop in hydration can directly impact and contribute to common challenges like constipation and orthostatic hypotension.

Staying hydrated is a simple yet powerful tool for managing your health! How many glasses are you aiming for today?
