No, we are not going to relive your college years (if you remember them or not) what we are talking about today is your relationship with wonderful H2O. In our office, we tell people to drink half their body weight in ounces in water per day (more pending on their activity level).
The responses we get are quite humorous:
> "There is water in my ice in my whiskey" (add grumpy cowboy-ish accent)
>"Water is an ingredient of beer, I will make sure to increase my intake" (add surfer like accent)
>"I don't like water, it makes me have to pee" (add older conservative women accent-whatever that sounds like :)
Your body is 2/3 water, not 2/3 pop (aka soda for you southerners), not 2/3 syrupy water additive, not 2/3 coffee, not 2/3 Crystal light. The earth is also 2/3 water- how ironic. Your brain is actually 80% water- what do you want to replenish it with? Hint Hint- the answer is WATER

How much water are you drinking per day? Honestly
Well, this is called Tips To Thrive #1. First thing in the morning, before you even get in the shower, drink a full glass of water. Does that sound like the most fun thing with your morning breath? Nooo but you will be amazed at how your skin plumps after the shower instead of getting all wrinkly when you dry it.
#2. Print out a picture of something you love. It could be your spouse, snorkling, puppies, your kids, a favorite vacation, unicorns, whatever and use clear packing tape and smack it onto your new best friend (your water bottle). You will magically drink more water! This works because you will look at your bottle more because subconsciously you are drawn to that picture and that reminds you to drink more water. Voila, Magic!
#3. Add mint, lemon, lime or even cucumber to your water. It changes it up a bit, looks pretty and for the lemon and lime, it helps with your PH (we will talk about that in a future post-PH is PHun).
#4. Use a straw, you drink more that way. I don't know why, but it has been studied and proven by someone-I swear. Some say, they don't use a straw because it will give you wrinkles around your mouth, but duh... you will know you don't need to worry about that if you read the next blog post "Make Love Not Wrinkles".
#5. Don't worry about the whole "ICE" or "NO ICE" controversy. If putting ice in your water makes is more appetizing for you, then do it! Cold Water is WAAAAY better than No Water!
#6. Put all of the non-water beverages in the back of your fridge behind larger items so essentially, you don't see them. Then don't buy more and celebrate the savings - Yeah!!
#7. Eat lots of fresh juicy fruits and veggies, they are packed with water!
#8. Every time you go to the bathroom, throw your hands in the air and give yourself a little "Woot Woot", because you are showing that your H20 has increased. It's a Party in the Potty!
#9. Have a water drinking contest with your family or co-workers. Track how much your drink during the day and at the end of the week, the winner gets a pack of toilet paper and VERY happy kidneys.

If you are thirsty, then you are already dehydrated.
If you have a "sticky" sensation in your mouth, you are already dehydrated.
If you are hungry, chances are you are just thirsty
If you have a headache, chances are you are dehydrated

Our bodies are soooo cool! Your body needs water, it is not opinion. It is fact. What else does your body need? Nerve Impulse! Your body needs to be able to talk to itself and it does that through messages sent from the brain through the spinal cord and out through the nerves and out to the cells from there and then back to the brain. This system- your nervous system, which is the system that communicates to every muscle, tissue, organ and cell, can be interfered with by any pressure on the nerves. Even the weight of a dime can cut the nerves ability to communicate by 60% and you still might not feel it. Guess who makes sure that your nervous system is not interfered with? Chiropractors!- you are so smart! Stress (chemical, emotional and physical) tug and wrench on the body in different ways. We all have stress, but we can't let it wreak havoc on us. By getting adjusted by a vitalistic chiropractor, your body can handle and process those stresses better by functioning at its highest potential, without interference. Yes. Drink Water. and YES, Get Adjusted.
