Did you know that you make numerous investments in your health every single day?
If you are going to the gym, taking a yoga class, seeing a chiropractor or getting a massage... you are making an investment in yourself and your health.
Protect your investment
What is the most effective way for you to protect these investments?
Water. Seriously. Water.
Drinking water before and after strenuous physical activity increases the body's ability to fully benefit from the experience and significantly reduce the likelihood of injury. Does it make sense to spend this precious time and energy and only receive partial benefit?
When a chiropractor is providing treatment to someone who is not properly hydrated, it is like working with a completely dried out stiff sponge... Do you think that adjustment is going to be smooth and hold for long? Visualize it.. the answer is No. Drink a reasonable amount of water the day before, of and after a chiropractic appointment.
Many seek massage therapy for pain or stress relief. Massage focuses on releasing toxins, tensions and restrictions in soft tissue, muscles and tendons. Massage increases the flow of blood, which consist of about 82% water. Imagine a new can of play dough. Until the play dough is warmed, moist and worked through it is stiff and difficult to bend and mold. Add water... and wow, what a difference! Protect your massage therapy investment and hydrate... your massage with be more effective and the benefits will last significantly longer!
How much water? Ideally, 1/2 your body weight in ounces daily.
