How do I say "stay hydrated" in japanese? (lemmy.world)

I am designing a tshirt with a friend and we wanted to put some japanese on it. Since my japanese is extremely basic (こんにちは、ミカです) I wanted to ask whether the symbols DeepL gave us mean what we think it means. We want to have a skeleton inside a water bottle and the text should read "stay hydrated" and we got these symbols: 水分補給. Do they work in that context? Or are there any better suggestions we could use? Thanks in advance!

I find ChatGPT is good for this sort of thing (+ fact-checking, as always).
Here's what I got - I also ran it through a few times and it recommended a similar phrase each time, which is usually a good sign.

Using "水分補給" (Suibun hokyū) on its own can work as a concise slogan. It directly translates to "Hydration" or "Fluid replenishment," conveying the message effectively in a succinct manner.
For a full phrase, you can try "水分補給を忘れずに!" (Suibun hokyū o wasurezu ni!) which translates to "Don't forget to hydrate!"
