You don’t need to become a hydration scientist. You just need to recognize that when you’re sick, water is your body’s delivery driver for medicine, immune cells, and comfort.
If you screw up and forget to drink, your fever will last longer, your cough will get scratchier, and you’ll feel like you’re made of dust and regret.
So here’s your new mantra: “Sip like a calm duck, not a thirsty camel.” Small, frequent, and gentle. Your body will thank you by not making you feel like a dried-up sponge.
Now go drink a glass of water. Yes, right now. I’ll wait. (Thirsty? That’s what I thought.)
