Description
Hydration is the ritual of briefly transforming the body’s desert into an oasis. Sweet tea during meetings or sports drinks after exercise are treated like sacred rites. The health zealot who cries ‘Stay hydrated!’ and the colleagues silently resisting the pressure engage in a quiet battle. Regardless of actual benefits, drinking water is a fantastical remedy that momentarily satisfies the desire for comfort and self-control.
