The award winning iWALK is a hands-free crutch and is the best alternative to conventional crutches and knee scooters for all below-the-knee injuries.

How much water do you drink on a daily basis?

First, some medical facts by way of illustration:

Your kidneys may not work as effectively with age, leading to a fluid imbalance in your body.

Since your body has less water composition as you age, you become dehydrated much quicker than when you were younger.
