Stay Hydrated, Stay Healthy: Unlocking the Link Between Hydration and Back Pain

In this episode of the podcast, Ben James and Jacob Steyn dive into the critical role hydration plays in maintaining back health. Did you know that the human body is made up of 60-80% water and that your intervertebral discs contain 66-86% water? Proper hydration is essential for keeping these discs healthy and preventing back pain.

The duo explore how chronic dehydration, often linked to modern lifestyles and diuretics like coffee, can lead to weakened and dehydrated discs, exacerbating back issues. They also discuss the science behind proteoglycans and their role in attracting fluid to the discs, underscoring the importance of movement for fluid exchange.

Practical tips include increasing daily water intake, adding electrolytes like magnesium, potassium, and sodium to boost hydration, and ensuring the quality of your drinking water. Learn how small changes in your hydration routine can make a big difference in your back health.

Tune in to discover how staying hydrated can support your spine and overall well-being. Don’t miss this insightful and actionable episode!
