The Body’s Best Kept Secret: Why Water is Your Superpower

Writer's picture: Karch GajdosKarch Gajdos

Water is essential for our bodies, yet many people don’t drink enough. Staying hydrated has numerous health benefits, especially when it comes to joint, muscle, and spine health. Here’s why water is so important:


1. Keeps Joints Lubricated: Water plays a key role in producing synovial fluid, which lubricates the joints. This helps prevent stiffness and discomfort, making it easier to move without pain.

2. Supports Spinal Health: Dehydration can lead to a decrease in the height of the spinal discs (the cushions of the spine) which can result in back pain and misalignment. Staying hydrated helps maintain the proper function of these discs and supports a healthy spine.

3. Aids Muscle Function: Muscles are made up of mostly water. Hydration helps prevent muscle cramps, fatigue, and weakness. Staying hydrated also supports muscle flexibility, helping you move with ease.

4. Speeds Up Healing: Water is essential for flushing out toxins and carrying nutrients to your cells. Staying hydrated helps in a fast recovery and allows your body to repair itself more efficiently.


Other Benefits:

  • Maintains blood volume & blood flow

  • Regulates body temperature

  • Staying mentally focused

  • Aids in removal of waste


How Much Water Should You Drink?

Everyone's needs vary, depending on age, gender, environment, etc. A good rule of thumb is to drink at least 8 cups (64 ounces) of water a day. If you're more active or experiencing pain, you may need more.


To sum it all up…It's no joke when people say drinking water will make you healthy. It truly is one of the simplest ways to improve your overall health, support your joints, muscles, spine, and healing process.
