Water Water Everywhere

Hydration, we all know how important it is but how many of us honestly say ‘I really should drink more water’?
Everyday people go on and on about ensuring we are taking enough fluids on board for the very simple reason, without it, we wouldn’t be here.
Drinking plenty of water also has many more benefits than we may actually think, for example, people who suffer regular back pain are often advised to drink more water.
After a period of a sustained intake of fluid, they often find that their back pain has gone away. The reason for this is because water plays a vital role in every organ and cell in the body.
Water plays a huge role in maintaining your back and spine. In between every two vertebrae in your spine lies a disk which acts as a shock absorber to the general day to day movements of life.
The disk is made up to two parts, an outer flexible ring that has an inner substance primarily made up of water.
As the day progresses, water is slowly squeezed out of the disk (hence the reason why we tend to be a little shorter when going to bed) then during the night the disks are slowly rehydrated subject to there being adequate water levels in our bodies.
When the body is dehydrated, the disks cannot support the necessary load causing pain, simply ensuring you stay hydrated is often the cure for this.
Drinking plenty of water also helps if you suffer headaches or migraines, improves your mood and even helps in digestion and constipation by improving the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract.
In fact, when you consider the body is made up of between 55-78% of water (dependant on body size) you can see why keeping properly aides most ailments within the body.
