Water: The Essential Key to Life and Health

When it comes to maintaining your health, few things are as vital as water. At Total Health Chiropractic, we’re passionate about supporting your wellness from the inside out — and that starts with understanding just how essential water is to your body and life.


Why Water Matters So Much

Did you know that water makes up 60–75% of your total body weight? It’s not just a beverage choice — it’s the foundation of nearly every biological function in your body. From regulating temperature to cushioning joints and helping cells function, water is the fuel that keeps your body running smoothly.


Here are some powerful facts that highlight just how crucial hydration really is:


  • A loss of just 4% of your total body water can lead to dehydration.

  • A 15% loss of body water can be fatal.

  • While a person might survive up to a month without food, they wouldn’t last more than three days without water.

Water and Chiropractic Care

At Total Health Chiropractic, we encourage all of our patients to stay properly hydrated, especially when undergoing chiropractic treatment. Why? Because adequate hydration helps your muscles stay relaxed, supports spinal discs, and improves nutrient delivery — all of which enhance the effectiveness of chiropractic adjustments.


How to Stay Hydrated


  • Drink regularly throughout the day – don’t wait until you’re thirsty.

  • Carry a reusable water bottle as a reminder to sip often.

  • Incorporate water-rich foods into your diet, like cucumbers, watermelon, and oranges.

  • Limit caffeine and alcohol, which can contribute to dehydration.


Final Thoughts


Water is more than just a thirst-quencher — it’s a life-sustaining force that impacts every system in your body. At Total Health Chiropractic, we believe that better health starts with better habits, and drinking enough water is one of the simplest yet most powerful steps you can take toward long-term wellness.
