Drink More Water

Water constitutes about 75% of our bodies and it is essential for good health and well-being. We require proper hydration to regulate temperature, cushion joints, eliminate wastes and for countless other functions.

Experts observe that many of us are chronically dehydrated. In fact, some people confuse their body’s signals for thirst, as hunger signs!

What Kind of Water?
Drinking water from a reusable container after working out.

Drink pure water, ideally without chlorine, chemicals and the impurities often found in municipal water supplies. Enjoy the convenience and cost savings of adding a water filtration system in your home.

How Much Water?

Divide your weight in pounds in half. That should be your daily water intake in ounces. For example. If you weigh 160 pounds (72 kg), divide by two; you should be drinking at least 80 ounces (2.2 litres) of water a day, even more if the weather is hot or dry.

Your body has a constant need for water. Sip it throughout the day so you never feel thirsty.

Dr. Brad Asks some important questions of interest to Auburn residents - Chiropractor Auburn Dr. Brad Asks...

Where do most Auburn residents get their first subluxation?
Being born in a hospital is a common source of subluxation. Trauma from forceps delivery has been replaced with drugs, vacuum extraction, Cesarean section and births that are "scheduled" to fit the workweek routines of Ob-Gyns. That's why we recommend a chiropractic checkup for every Auburn newborn.
What's your plan to deal with drug-resistant 'super germs'?
Chiropractors have always been concerned with the indiscriminate use of antibiotics, accelerating the mutation of microbes that make "wonder" drugs increasingly ineffective. My strategy? Do everything possible to bolster my immune system through proper diet, rest, exercise, clean air, pure water and an optimally functioning nervous system with regular chiropractic care.
