Often, I find many don't drink as much water as we should. Why do we need water anyway?
Water can be a great cure for a number of ailments. It's involved in about just every body reaction there is. Or at least one or more of the elements that make up H2O are.
It hydrates our muscle and disc's. Yep, just like other body parts there are mad of a whole lotta water.
It also acts as a natural detoxifier, flushing out our system.
Going to the bathroom a couple extra times is a small price to pay...drink your water!

Here are 4 easy to do stretches that can give fast pain relief.
1) Knee to Chest - this
stretches the hamstring, gluteus and back. Lay on your back pulling the knee to
the chest.
2) piriformis stretch - this stretches a muscle in the buttocks
called the piriformis. Cross the side you wish to stretch leg over other (like
sitting with legs crossed), and lean forward.
3) hamstring stretch - the
hamstring connects to the butt which connects to the low back. Keeping this
whole chain stretched prevents a lot of injuries. Put leg up on small step or
stool and reach down towards that toe. You can also sit and reach for your toes.
4) Lateral neck stretch - tilt head to one shoulder. Reach up with the hand and pull neck slightly to stretch more.
There are a number of great stretches. I have found these work great for me, hopefully you will too!
