Chiropractic treatments allow your nervous system to communicate properly and since your nervous system runs and controls everything in your body it helps your body to be healthy. Your body is made up of 75% water and your brain is 85% water. It is water that helps allow the nerves to communicate with each other and allows the joints in your spine to function. Just like your car engine needs oil to run, your body requires water especially the joints in your spine. Just how much water do you need? There is a formula based on body weight. You take your body weight and divide by two that is how many ounces of water you need each day for your body to function normally. People often get water confused with other liquids like coffee, soda and tea saying they get there water in those drinks. Any water you get from soda, coffee or tea is cancelled out by the other ingredients. To get water you need to drink water . The next time your car engine needs an oil change ask your mechanic if coffee or soda might due instead of oil and see what there response is. Your body only requires one liquid and that is water, you can have other liquids but it is your choice how you want your body to run.
