Water is essential for the musculoskeletal system, which includes muscles, bones, joints, tendons, and ligaments. Proper hydration helps keep this system strong, flexible, and potentially injury-free. Here’s how:
Keeps Muscles Functioning Properly
Water helps maintain the electrolyte balance within the muscles, transporting oxygen and nutrients to them and helps to keep them functioning properly. It also flushes out lactic acid and toxins, aiding recovery and reducing soreness. Muscles themselves are about 75% water and dehydration can cause fatigue, cramps, and weakness. Well hydrated muscles will be more pliable and less likely to suffer damage and injury.
Protects Joints & Cartilage
Water is a major component of synovial fluid, which lubricates joints and prevents stiffness. Cartilage (which cushions joints) is mostly water and hydration keeps it from breaking down. Water can also help to prevents joint pain and arthritis symptoms by reducing inflammation.
Strengthens Bones & Prevents Osteoporosis
Bones are 31% water and hydration helps transport calcium and minerals for bone density. Water also supports collagen production, which helps keep bones flexible and strong. Chronic dehydration could increase the risk of fractures.
Supports Tendons & Ligaments
Tendons and ligaments (which connect muscles and bones) need water to stay flexible yet strong. Dehydration can make them tight and stiff, increasing the risk of strains and injuries.
Regulates Body Temperature & Prevents Overheating
Muscles generate heat during movement, and water helps with sweating to cool the body down. It will also impact muscle efficiency and endurance.
Proper hydration is also essential for MBST treatment to work effectively. MBST works at cellular level, promoting regeneration. Hydration helps your cells function optimally, enhancing therapy effectiveness.
Hydrogen protons are central to MBST’s ability to energise the body’s cells. By targeting these protons, MBST stimulates regeneration, tissue repair and restores the balance at a cellular level. The more hydrated you are the better your body’s hydrogen protons can respond to treatment. Staying hydrated supports optimal energy transfer and enhances therapy effectiveness. As mentioned above, water supports nutrient delivery and waste removal, as well as helping maintain joint lubrication, all key for natural healing and aiding recovery.
Water not only supports the musculoskeletal system, is central recovery and repair, but also plays a huge role in digestion, circulation, and cellular function, so staying hydrated is key to overall health!
