Water and its effect (or lack of effect) on bone or joint health?

Does water have any effect on bone health and/or joints?  I was wondering if drinking a lot of coffee and not a lot of water could affect arthritis or the joints in any way, or if although it is important for other parts of the body, it is a non-factor regarding joint and bone health - thanks!

Too much of coffee a day is not good in general. And drinking a lot of water is good for your body. But it is difficult to say whether these have any effect as such on bone/joint health.

I wouldn't woory too much about the coffee having any negative impact on joint health. Of more concern should be your water intake. I'm sure you've heard it many times before but it really is important to drink at least 8-10 glasses of water per day. Your body needs it to help flush out toxins and to build strong muscle tissue that helps to support your joints. You may also want to consider taking a good natural joint supplement as well to help ensure that your body gets the nutrients it needs to build and maintain strong joints.

In your case I recommend you to drink low acid coffee .  This is good for the body and doesn't give you harmful effects.
