Always Stay Hydrated

While the recommended amount of water consumption varies by age, weight, and activity level.

The general rule of thumb is: 90oz (11 cups) to 125oz (16cups) per day

7 Reasons staying hydrated is good for your health…

  • Weight Loss
    • Aids in removal of fatty by-products and makes you feel full while increasing metabolism
  • Nervous System
    • The human brain and discs of the spinal cord are primarily composed of water. Keep them lubricated!
  • Skin and Sweat
    • Eliminates wrinkles and keeps the skin moisturized.
    • It also helps regulate your body temperature through sweat
  • Muscles
    • Water keeps your muscles “well-oiled” to prevent injury and soreness. It even helps increase muscle flexibility
  • Bad Breath
    • Eliminates leftover food particles and bacteria that cause bad breath
  • Immunity
    • Helps flush toxins and antigens from inflammation sites to lymph nodes to be eliminated.

A Chiropractor, with holistic care, considers all these reasons when its about the health and well being of the patient. The nervous system, muscles, your organs as your skin, weight and immune system all benefit with chiropractic care.
