With the season upon us the last thing any of us need is an injury so I just thought I would remind you of the importance of hydration.
Like most people after a hard days work (million beers), I can't wait to hit the water but be mindful of your hydration. Ligaments become increasingly susceptible to tears once you are dehydrated, think of a piece of beef jerky as an analogy. The surrounding cartilage is approximately 60% water and kept lubricated by our synovial fluid. When we are dehydrated, our production of synovial fluid is restricted and therefore increases our risk of cartilage/ ligament deterioration and damage.
Just thought I would though it out there as I didn't realize that hydration had such a big part in sprains and strains.
Dont know exactly when done, But just home from surgery for shoulder spur and worst news 6 weeks out has turned 12 as bicep tendon was virtually ogf the bone so he has moved it to new point and has regrow to the bone. Gutted?
Good post Gaz Staying hydrated also fights off arthritis and a load of other ailments Coffee and Beer are the enemy, but I just like them so much. Coconut water is the ONLY rehydration that genuinely works. Don't forgot to eat a banana to avoid muscle cramps.
