We all know our body is mostly water, but did you know our spinal discs are 85% water? Not getting enough water daily could cause our discs to lose height, flexibility, and shock-absorbing ability. Ow.
Not only will our muscles contract and cause pain when we get dehydrated, but our ligaments and joints can increase inflammation that could lead to injury or re-injury.
Initial Absorption: Water starts entering the bloodstream within 5–15 minutes.
Mild Dehydration: Relief often happens within 30 minutes to 1 hour after drinking, with full recovery within 1-2 hours.
Moderate/Severe Dehydration: May require several hours to a few days to fully rehydrate, often requiring electrolyte replenishment.

Drink a glass of water within an hour after a chiropractic adjustment at Gully Chiropractic Clinic. This helps with flushing of toxins and lubrication in joints.

A garden tour is a guided exploration of planned gardens, estates and floral sculptures. This makes them different from a hiking or nature tour, as the focus is on man-made and maintained horticultural attractions. Most are rain or shine events. Mobile has several tours in different areas of town- historic districts downtown, Bellingrath, Botanical Gardens, perhaps a private property known for special tours.
What to wear for walking tour:
1. Check the weather forecast for where you are going.
2. Be prepared for rain
3. Breathable clothing. Dress in layers
4. Sensible shoes
Enjoy the outdoors. Schedule an appointment to be able to put your best foot forward this season.

5. Sun protection
6. A water bottle

Cold weather does in fact affect your joints. If you have arthritis, you know that pain can worsen in the cold. Did you know our synovial fluid, which is our joint lubrication, acts thicker in colder weather? Chiropractic care and taking extra vitamin D can help ease arthritic pain.

Inflammation is a natural biological response. Some responses are acute, like foreign pollen, microbes, or chemicals. Chronic inflammation is persistent and problematic, with research showing some major diseases are linked to chronic inflammation. Fortunately, the best way to control inflammation is in our refrigerator and available fresh all around us.
Green leafy vegetables, nuts, fatty fish, tomatoes, and a variety of fruits are wonderful anti-inflammatory foods to include into our everyday diets.
On National Pie Day, research and try some healthy recipes to incorporate anti-inflammatory ingredients to improve overall wellness. Your body will thank you.
