Hydration plays an important part in maintaining spinal health and supporting overall well-being. The intervertebral discs in your spine require proper hydration in order to function properly and effectively. Keeping these discs hydrated allows them to absorb shock and support spinal movements. This helps to reduce the risk of issues such as herniated discs or degenerative disc disease. It’s important that you drink water every day to stay hydrated, especially now with the heat of this summer.
