calimacIt became evident during my cold that I was becoming seriously dehydrated. And this was due to insufficient liquid intake.
I drink almost nothing but water, but during a cold, mucus in the throat makes water taste unappetizing, so one tends to drink not enough of it. Fruit juice - my favorites are apple and grape - would solve that problem, but I don't want to be drinking a lot of juice either.
But when I got home from the trip, I decided to buy some juice, and I was mulling over the choices in the grocery when I noticed "light apple juice," which proved on inspection to be apple juice diluted with water. But why buy this when I could do it myself? So now when it's time to partake, I fill a glass about 2/3 with water and for the rest put in juice. That's enough juice to provide the taste without the sticky sweetness or so much of the carbs. And I'm slowly recovering.
