Why am I having very minor pain on my left side?!
Question:
Why am I having very minor pain on my left side?
Its a little lower than my stomach. Its not my appendix because thats on your right side. But ya know how bruises are kinda sensitive when you push or poke them? It feels like that, but very minor. Should I excercise? To be honest, the most excersice I do is marching all summer long with band, but I think it might be from not being flexible and not being fit. My daily foods arent looking so healthy either even though i eat grapes and carrots like a crack addict lol. I also get more car sick these days, but I never throw up. Im 12 going on 13 and I need to know whats going on. Give me tips, every idea you can think of, things I should do, sources...just anything is appreciated. Thanks! : ]
Answers:
Dehydration can cause pain in the muscles. I recommend you drink purified water mixed with mineral water 50/50. This will replace the minerals that are exiting your body continuously.
I suggest that adults and children drink 40 ounces of water per 100 pounds of body weight every day. Realize that exercise, ambient temperature, and state of health affect the water needs of your body. One tip for athletes: it is healthier to drink a sports drink or water than fruit juice, soda, coffee, or milk during competition or active training periods.
