Why is drinking water important after massage?
Drinking lots of water is always important. One of the best tools of preventative health maintenance is drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day. The human body is composed of 70% water, and water is involved in nearly every bodily function, including digestion, nutrient absorption, circulation and waste excretion. During a massage, waste products are massaged out of the muscles into the blood stream. Drinking extra water helps to eliminate these waste products from the body.
