A Lanarkshire charity has backed calls for elderly people to stay hydrated during the summer by drinking tap water regularly.
LEAP, based in Cambuslang, were supporting a new campaign by Scottish Water and Age Scotland.
Dehydration in older people can contribute to a number of health issues including tiredness, headaches, feeling lightheaded and confusion and experts believe that drinking between six and eight glasses of tap water a day helps keep dehydration at bay as well as supporting mental and physical health and wellbeing.
