From the Doctor

Maintaining good hydration is absolutely critical to maintaining good health, and it becomes even more important to pay attention to it as we age. As we get older the body “dries out”, and our tendons and ligaments become less resilient. Poor hydration can lead to constipation, dry and itchy skin, acne, nose bleeds, repeated urinary tract infections, dry coughs, sneezing, sinus pressure, and headaches and fatigue, which can be the result of toxins building up in our bodies. Poor hydration weakens the body’s immune system and lead to chemical, nutritional and pH imbalances, which can eventually cause sickness and premature aging. Lack of being sufficiently hydrated is the number one trigger of daytime fatigue, and a mere two percent drop in body water can trigger short-term memory problems and difficulty focusing on reading a computer screen or printed page.

Being properly hydrated can also help you lose weight. In 37% of people, the thirst mechanism is so weak it’s mistaken for hunger, causing you to ingest calories you don’t need, when you could have solved your hunger with a zero-calorie glass of water! In fact, one glass of water will shut down hunger pains for almost 100% of dieters.

We lose about a quart and a half of water per day just through breathing, and overall, we lose over three quarts a day. Clearly it’s critical we replace that water, and understand when and how much is needed to hydrate ourselves.

Turn Your Water Into Dehydration’s Worst Enemy

Staying hydrated on an extra hot day or after a hours of physical activity can be difficult. In the short term, dehydration can cause headaches, fatigue, cramps and other uncomfortable symptoms. Sometimes, water just isn’t enough; we need something to replace the electrolytes and salt we lose through our sweat. Sugary drinks , even ones that are meant to replenish much needed chemicals, can actually worsen dehydration.

That’s where Celtic Sea Salt comes in. Traditional, hand harvested Celtic Sea Salt provides important trace minerals, sodium and electrolytes need to rehydrate and stay hydrated. We have it right here at Chiropractic Solution. It can be added as seasoning in place of regular table salt, or, per Dr. Matt’s preference, just adding a pinch to a glass of water will keep hydration levels stable all day long.
