Staying hydrated plays a vital role in wound healing. 💧 When your body has enough water, oxygen and essential nutrients are delivered more efficiently to the wound site, helping tissues repair faster and reducing the risk of infection. Proper hydration also supports healthy blood flow and keeps skin resilient, which is key to forming new tissue.
For most people, drinking water consistently throughout the day is best—aim for small, frequent sips rather than waiting until you feel thirsty. While individual needs vary, a good general guideline is 6–8 glasses of water daily, and more if you are active or healing from a wound. If you’re unsure how much water is right for you, your healthcare provider can help tailor recommendations to your needs.
