The importance of hydration cannot be stressed enough regarding autoimmune disease management. If you are experiencing any symptoms that you think could be related to dehydration, such as fatigue or joint pain, consider drinking more water or other hydrating drinks throughout the day.

Autoimmune diseases are a group of conditions in which the body’s immune system attacks the body’s own cells. Autoimmune disease will affect many parts of the body, including your joints, skin, thyroid gland, and blood cells.
