Staying hydrated is important for your health, but did you know that staying hydrated can also help to prevent chronic neck and back pain? Having enough water in the body is essential to maintaining the proper function of all its systems. Being dehydrated causes a constriction of the blood vessels which reduces blood flow throughout the body. This means that people who are dehydrated may not be able to move their bodies efficiently or effectively – including those with chronic neck or back pain! Most health care professionals recommend eight 8-ounce glasses of water every day for an adult. So skip the sugary drinks and sodas and set your body up to perform at its best by sticking with that high-quality H2O.
