PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!
Drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated while going through treatment, recovery, and your wellness journey. Our bodies rely on ample hydration to stay healthy, fight infections, and cure the ailing body. If you become dehydrated your body looses essential nutrients. Proper hydration allows water to properly carry oxygen to our cells. Think of water as a lubricant which hydrates our joints, organs, brain, muscles, and everything in between. When we feel sick we often don’t want to eat or drink and by not putting enough hydration in your body when you are ill, it can make you feel worse and it can take longer for recovery. As a healthcare professional, mom, and caregiver, I’ve watched so many of my patients/kids/subjects avoid drinking water because they don’t like it, or they don’t feel like it, or it will make me throw up and after coaching them with small sips proved that drinking helped more than not drinking. According to ucsfhealth.org it is recommended that we drink a minimum of 8 to 10 eight-ounce glasses of water each day.Below are some additional helpful tips to keep your body hydrated while fighting Breast Cancer.
