Ageing and dryness

As I grow older, I notice that my body has a tendency to become dry more quickly than earlier, that I tire more easily, that tiredness has something to do with lack of water in the system, that tiredness can be countered by drinking water, and that I need, in general, more water to keep going.

My mind also flashes to the observation, which I must have made less than consciously at the time, that my mother, as she approached the end of her life, also suffered more and more from dryness.

Has any research been done on the relationship between dryness and tiredness, and between ageing and dryness?

  1. Prof Gupatara, I just had the pleasure of going through a whole host of information about you...and lastly I checked your blog as well ,,,,,,and feeeling a connection of sorts cant resist this comment....

    As the body grows old probably it makes us feel its presence, and more so.....we start giving heed to it......because we start loooking more inwards after some period of time in our lives.......and when we start loooking inwards that is when our journey on the path of nirvana or whatever begins.............nor that I m an authority on growing old...
