Spine & Coconuts

How does the loss of hydration in spinal discs affect spine health?

Imagine spinal discs as young coconuts. When they are full of water, they are securely attached to the bone end plates, similar to a young coconut firmly attached to its shell. As we age, these spinal discs lose hydration and start to detach from the bone, much like a coconut drying out and separating from its shell. This loss of water and subsequent detachment can lead to various spine-related issues over time, such as back pain and disc prolapse.
