It keeps your body hydrated, especially if you have a fever you may not realize it but you're burning off some body water by sweating (if even just a little bit).\n\nPlus, certain unwanted viruses/bacteria can be gotten rid of if you drink a lot and go to the bathroom. (I was trying not to be gross there)

Research recently showed that hoenstly, just drink when you are thirsty. Your body knows what is good for you. Plus, alot of foods contain water as well, so you get it that way as well. \n\nJust make sure to drink water when thirsty instead of soda or tea.

I think its becoz she must have lost alot water and blood during her sickness and what you have to do now is to give her alot of fruids like pure juices, fruits and alot of water. If you cant afford juices then just water but alot of water I mean alot of it.

because your body is fighting hard to fight off the infection, thats also why you feel tired and run down when you have the flu. so your body is working hard and using up all your energy

You may want to hydrate yourself before going in. Sweating looses a lot of water. If you get in without drink some, you could pass out before you realize you are sick. Drink at least 8 oz but probably more. Take time to relax, like 15-30 minutes, while you drink and make sure the water is not very cold. The more tepid the water is the easier it will digest without making you feel like a water balloon.

Drinking fluids helps to replenish water you've lost through vomiting, sneezing, coughing, sweating, and other symptoms. The fastest way to recovery is to get plenty of rest, as the flu will fatigue you because your body uses all available energy to combat the viral infection. You may have loss of appetite, but force yourself to eat something so that you won't fatigue even more. Take some Vitamin C and Zinc to help boost your immune system so that you don't get sick again afterwards.

Fill your bathtub with as much water as you can and make sure the water is as hot as you can tolerate.\n\nBeing immersed in this hot water will help kill the virus in your system (that's why your body raises it's how temperature in the first place).  Because your body temperature rises as a result of the bath, your body will compensate for it by lowering your fever.\n\nThe hot bath will make you dehydrated, so keep drinking plenty of liquids.\n\nI hope I helped!

They inject their DNA into your cells and then your cells start to reproduce the virus instead of more of your cells. Eventually the cell lyses (breaks open) and releases more viruses. This is a constant cycle. The "sickness" You get is actually your immune system's response to the viruses causing your cells to constantly lyse. The runny nose is your body trying to drain out all the bad stuff, the fever is your body trying to kill the viruses through heat, the sore throat is the same drainage coming out your nose just going down the back of your throat and making it raw, and the fatigue is because your body is using all of its energy to fight off the virus.

it helps me because i'm to full of water to eat much. but be prepared to pitch a tent in the bathroom because your gonna pee like crazy. that also helps because its getting all the toxins out of your body. and water doesn't have sugar or caffiene, so you can drink all you want with no regrets

i have read in a Phd Professor Covey that you should drink water standing  in day and sitting in night and the reason was that at day u need alot of water so when ur standing ur body can make a use of it very fast, but at night u need to go to sleep so u dont need alot of water, drinking while sitting makes the water to be stored in the intestines and used slowly.
