The Importance of Water Intake

Hydration is crucial to your body's ability to function optimally. Water intake plays a vital role in the health of your muscles. Water carries nutrients and oxygen to your muscles, which is very important for building strength and flexibility.

Staying hydrated can also improve your spinal health. Water is beneficial for lubricating your joints. Additionally, the discs in your spine also need water for nutrients to find their way into the area. If your discs do not have the appropriate hydration, you may experience disc degeneration and other spinal issues.

The Consequences of Dehydration

Failing to drink as much water as your body needs can lead to dehydration. Dehydration results from using more liquid than you are taking in, which means that your body is not getting the resources you need. Failing to drink enough water leads to dehydration which can cause a variety of other health issues.

Relying on alternatives like coffee, soda, juice, and alcohol for hydration can also be dangerous. Many of these liquids are full of sugar and calories, which may work against your wellness goals. They can also dehydrate your body even more. If you are drinking a lot of caffeine, it could ultimately lead you to become more dehydrated than you would be if you were drinking nothing at all.

Water Intake Recommendations

The amount of water you need to drink each day depends on your weight and whether you exercise, get physical therapy, or receive chiropractic treatment. Our chiropractor can help you determine how much water you should be drinking each day. We will assess your medical history and current health to create a nutrition treatment plan unique to your needs.
