Recovery Tip #3: Hydration Is Not a Competition
Meffff takes the advice to stay hydrated so seriously that even his organs are complaining.
Doctor Goose says to stay hydrated. Meffff responds like a lion who has just been issued a competitive challenge.
Water bottles multiply. A hydration pack appears. Eventually Meffff announces that he can hear his organs arguing.
Goose explains that one glass would have been a perfectly respectable start.
Behind the Disaster
Hydration matters, especially after poor sleep, heat, exercise or substance use, but more is not always better. Drinking extreme amounts of water can also be dangerous. Sensible hydration means regular fluids, listening to your body and getting medical advice when illness or dehydration is significant.
