Hydration won’t cure your cold overnight. But it will make the ride less terrible. It’s like putting good tires on a bumpy car. You’ll still feel bumps, but you won’t crash. Drink up, you magnificent, snotty human.
So next time your nose is a faucet and your head is a rock, reach for water. Not the pity party. You’ve got this. And your body has water—which is basically the same thing. Now go hydrate. I’m rooting for you. And so is your mucus.
