Stay Hydrated and Stay Healthy: How Water Supports Immunity

To keep you healthy, your immune system relies on a well-hydrated body. In this summer season, maintaining optimal hydration is more important than ever.


According to Susan Bowerman, Senior Director, Worldwide Nutrition Education and Training at Herbalife, water is the most natural drink on earth – humans, after all, drank water long before they enjoyed tea, coffee, herbal drinks or other beverages. So even though drinking a glass of water shouldn’t require a second thought, here's a reminder of why we need to pay more attention to consuming the world’s oldest beverage.

Adults have up to 60 percent water in their bodies[1], so it’s no surprise that we need to stay well-hydrated to stay healthy. In the Philippines’s hot and humid climate, proper hydration supports digestion, nutrient absorption and waste elimination. Additionally, without enough water, regulating body temperature becomes difficult, joints lose lubrication, and muscles fatigue more quickly. The bottom line is this: every cell, tissue, and organ needs water to function properly.

Water and Immunity

Just like every other system in the body, the cells of your immune system require nutrients to do their job. Here are three main ways in which water supports immunity:

Water is essential for nutrient absorption.

Water is needed during the entire digestive process, but particularly when it comes to nutrient absorption into the bloodstream. Once there, the nutrients are transported in this watery environment to all the body’s cells where they can be taken up and utilised.

Water is a key component of lymphatic fluid.

Water is an important component of another important fluid in your immune system, called lymph (or lymphatic fluid), which travels through a separate system of vessels.

The lymphatic fluid contains specialised white blood cells, called lymphocytes, that help the body fight infection. As the lymphatic fluid circulates, it helps remove waste products, toxins, and impurities from your body – including bacteria and viruses. Since your lymph system is about 96 percent water, it should make sense that dehydration could slow down the function of this natural drainage system in your body.

Water helps maintain healthy mucous membranes.

Another way that water and fluids support immunity is by maintaining the health of your mucous membranes. Just as your skin helps to protect the outside of your body from foreign invaders, your moist mucous membranes act as a barrier, too. These membranes protect those areas inside of your body that are exposed to air – like your nostrils, mouth, and throat. When your body lacks adequate fluid, your nasal passages may become dry, making the barrier less effective.

Lastly, if you have an illness and have been coughing and have a dry throat, or if you have a fever, or if you’ve been losing fluids because of a stomach or intestinal upset, it’s vitally important that you consume plenty of fluids to help your system recover.

Tips to Help You Stay Hydrated

If you find it hard to drink enough water every day, here are some tips that might help you.

See it.

It can be really helpful if you can see the amount of water you plan to drink and to track your progress over the day. Put the amount of water you plan to have in a pitcher on your kitchen counter or keep it at your desk. It will serve as a reminder to drink more, and you’ll be motivated to sip on it as the day goes by – and meet your goal of finishing it.

Cool it.

Cold water often seems more refreshing than room-temperature water. Try stashing a bottle of water in your freezer and carry it with you during the day. It will stay cold for several hours, and you might be encouraged to drink more.

Wake up to it.

“Morning mouth” is a reminder that most of us are naturally a bit dehydrated in the morning. So, keep a glass of water by your bed, and drink it first thing – before your feet even hit the floor.

Flavor it.

Make your own spa water. Add a slice of fresh lemon or lime, some cucumber, a few berries, some fresh mint, or a slice of fresh ginger to your water. It makes it feel special and adds a hint of refreshing flavor.

Eat it.

Don’t forget that watery foods like fruits and vegetables (but particularly cucumbers, melons, tomatoes, and leafy greens) contribute to your overall daily fluid needs, so include plenty of these healthy foods with meals and snacks.

Track it.

Just like keeping track of your calorie intake, keeping track of how much water you drink can help a lot, too. That’s why the pitcher-on-the-desk trick works so well – at any moment, you can see how much water you’ve had and how much you need to drink before the day is over. If you want to go high tech, there are apps for your phone that can send you drinking reminders, keep track of your progress and even give you a virtual pat on the back when you’ve met your goal.

Chevron Philippines Donates Laptops to Ateneo de Naga University to Support Student Learning

Chevron Philippines, in collaboration with the HS 67 Alumni Association, donates laptops to Ateneo de Naga University’s OSA Access E-Skwela project


In line with its commitment to education and community support, Chevron Philippines Inc. (CPI), marketer of Caltex fuel and lubricants, partnered with the HS 67 Alumni Association to donate 20 refurbished laptops to Ateneo de Naga University (AdNU). The donation, made through AdNU's Office of Student Affairs (OSA) Access E-Skwela project, aims to assist students whose learning was disrupted by Typhoon Kristine’s devastation. This is the latest program in Chevron and AdNU’s partnership geared toward supporting student learning.

In the past, Chevron donated law school textbooks to the pioneering batch of law students, supporting their educational journey and helping to lay a strong foundation for their future legal careers.

In 2020, at the height of the COVID pandemic, AdNU students struggled with the sudden shift to online classes. Some also faced financial difficulties, as they could not afford to purchase gadgets required for online learning.

AdNU recognized their students’ challenges with online classes and spearheaded the Access E-Skwela Reboot project to address their concerns. This provided students with gadgets for academic use, ensuring uninterrupted learning.

In response, Chevron donated 30 laptops to the Access E-Skwela project to further enhance the university’s efforts. Through this, Chevron ensured that students had the necessary resources to engage in remote learning

However, last October 2024, Typhoon Kristine struck the Bicol region, causing the worst flooding in 30 years. Many students, particularly those from low-income families or on scholarships, lost their devices to the floodwaters. Recognizing the urgent need, Chevron once again stepped in to support the affected students by donating 20 laptops, enabling them to complete coursework and attend virtual classes.

“As part of our response, we at OSA reactivated the Access E-Skwela donation drive, and we are deeply grateful to Chevron Philippines for their generous contribution of 20 laptops. This donation will significantly impact our students' academic journeys,” said Rodolfo ‘Sonny’ SB Virtus Jr., Director of the Office of Student Affairs.

“I am deeply grateful to AdNU OSA, the donors, and their partner Chevron for supporting initiatives like Access E-Skwela. Their efforts kept me afloat during a difficult time, and I owe a part of who I am today to their unwavering commitment to students like me,” said Hadrian B. Botebara, a beneficiary of the AdNU OSA Access E-Skwela project

“On behalf of Chevron Philippines, I am honored to turn over these laptops to Ateneo de Naga University. We trust that these laptops will serve as valuable tools, supporting the university in its mission to make a meaningful impact on the students and faculty who will benefit from them,” said Raissa Bautista, Senior Corporate Affairs Manager at Chevron Philippines Inc.

Chevron believes that education is a key factor in the economic growth and well-being of the communities where they operate. The company has invested in educational initiatives and partnerships to help communities prosper.
