Without water our bodies would become unable to function or for that matter extinct. Water is a fundamental element that enables us to function at optimal levels and engage in strenuous type activities for prolonged periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Water makes up roughly 70% of the bodies total volume and can be a way of controlling bodyweight in some cases. Water also has the ability to decrease <a href=\"https:\/\/themelbournechiropractor.com.au\/blog\/all-about-muscle-tightness-stiffness\/\">muscular tightness<\/a> and reduce lactic acid build up within the bodies muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Water is also a great way of reducing pimples and skin irritations. Water also stops the body from becoming dry especially in summer and allows the skin to become more supple and less wrinkled. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Water is needed for optimal kidney function as it is able to flush out toxins from the body and reduce acidity from within. Water also reduces the risk of kidney stones and other plaque like build ups within organs and allows for better recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Water Recommendations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>2.5 Litres per day for Females<\/li><li>3.5 Litres per day for Males<\/li><li>Use a bottle to stay on track<\/li><li>Set an alarm as a reminder to drink<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>*There are no upper limits of drinking water although to much water intake can lead to feeling sick and water intoxication which can be life threatening!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Symptoms Of Dehydration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/themelbournechiropractor.com.au\/headaches\">Headaches<\/a><\/li><li>Body Aches<\/li><li>Cramping<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/themelbournechiropractor.com.au\/neck-pain\">Neck Pain<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/themelbournechiropractor.com.au\/back-pain\">Back Pain<\/a><\/li><li>Heat Stroke<\/li><li>Fatigue<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are someone who is suffering from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/themelbournechiropractor.com.au\/headaches\">headaches<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/themelbournechiropractor.com.au\/neck-pain\">neck pain<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/themelbournechiropractor.com.au\/blog\/can-chiropractors-help-with-back-pain\/\">low back pain<\/a>\u00a0or may think you are someone suffering from changes due to your posture!
