Are you drinking enough?

[firewoodman]

After twenty or so years in tree work, predominately woodland and arb work I finally gave in to my back and went to a chiropractor. After an hour of twisting and turning and being told I was totally out of alinement I was maniple-mated back into shape and was told I had to drink more! Apparently as you sleep your spine absorbs water so placing more fluid around your disks helping cushion them from wear and tear, or something like that! So I've taken her advice and just had six pints, which I don't recommend you do before using your saw, but I do feel much better and no longer walk like an ape. So work hard and drink lots!

 

ha ha I like the funnys on this

 

I too have the same back problem and i always forget to drink, but when the pain kicks in, no amount fo non alcoholic fluid helps, so beer it is then

Reality is an illusion caused by lack of alcohol.

Rehab is for quitters.

During the Summer months May thru October I drink on average1.5 to Two gal. of Water per day. In the Fall Winter and Spring about Half as much. Keeping yourself properly hydrated is very important and can help with many daily aches and pains. I also invested in a new mattress nearly 10 years ago and have not woke up stiff and uncomfortable ever since. The Brand is Sleep Number, By Select comfort beds. Between the two I don't really have any back issues any more and I sleep and function on a daily basis much better.
