Disc height-water effect
Hello! How does water intake affect in IVD height? I mean: If one drinks 1,5l of water everyday and then increases water intake to 3 or 4l then the intervertebral discs can "swallow" more water and by this increase height? Maths:even if each disc height would increase by 5%then the overall body height would increase by almost 1 inch! And thats why my question is: can increasing water intake make discs "swell" more water and by this make each disc increase its height by even just few percent?
