No, not alcohol. I'm talking about WATER!
How much water do you drink each day? This is a standard question on our new patient intake form. I'm a chiropractor in San Carlos, California and my patients are smart, educated and informed people but I was amazed by some of their answers. Many drink it all day long. Most of them don't drink enough. One woman recently told me she doesn't even like water and NEVER drinks it! This information is dedicated to her and all of you out there that don't drink enough liquids each day.
Your body is made up of 50-75% water which helps with just about every function inside the body. It regulates body temperature, hydrates your joints (as a chiropractor, this is very important to spinal health), is instrumental with digestive health and regulates your kidneys, circulation and blood pressure. Some of the best things you can do for your health are the most simple; eat more fruits and veggies, take more walks and drink enough water. It doesn't get much easier than that.
Conversely, dehydration can cause headaches (a common complaint in my office), constipation, fatigue, dry skin and kidney and circulatory dysfunction. Water is important! Your body is made of it and needs a constant supply. Everyone should drink 8 full glasses a day (about 2 1/2 quarts.) This intake can be in the form of beverages we drink, or water in food.
If you are a chiropractic patient hydration is important for your care plan. Water helps toxins flush from your body and this will help your healing process. You wouldn't think of not watering your garden, or not putting oil in your car. So take care of that machine you're walking around in, and drink up. Go out of your way to get to a glass of water and drink it. Try different water brands and find one that suits your taste. Just do it!
Cheers to you, your water drinking and to better health.
