Story of water If we observe a fact, we will
be able to know the value of water. We know that there is two third of water
and one third of land on the globe. Similarly, our body consists of two third
of water. The rest is matter. So, intake of more water is useful but not
harmful to the man. Depending on the weather roughly two liters of water is
spent from our body everyday. The water content in vegetables and the water
that we take while taking food will be more than two liters. But you may ask
why should we take more water. You may also ask that whenever there is
necessity body demands water, then, why should we take water when there is no
demand from the body. What
water does in the body? Man needs food for survival.
But to satisfy taste buds man runs after food of various tastes. If it is just
for survival we need not crave for taste. When we take spicy and tasty food, we
consume more water. Is the body demanding this water or our inclination towards
taste is demanding water? It means we are taking water even when there is no
necessity. With this, the stomach expands. Such food does not give strength to
the body. When we go for tasty food, much waste material goes into the body. To
purge out that waste material two liters of water is not sufficient. What does
water do after entering the body? It attracts the waste material in the blood
vessels and purges it out through urine. When we take food for taste we
have to take five liters of water to purge out waste material. But we are not
taking that much of water. We do not like to drink more water though it is
useful since it doesn't taste like sodas and our mind is not inclined towards
it. Water, which gives us health and keeps us happy, is not drawing our
attention it deserves. It is unfortunate. No water
while eating We should not take water while
eating food. This is a good habit. When food enters the stomach chemical fluids
generate from the walls of the stomach that help digestion. If we take water
along with food these fluids are diluted and the digestion power is reduced.
Then the undigested food material, which is useful, is purged out along with
the excreta. That is why human excreta are becoming food for some animals. Did
you ever come across an animal eating the excreta of another animal? No. Why? Animals
do not drink water while taking food. They drink water leisurely when the
stomach is empty. What is this paradox? Man who has intellect does not know the
principles of health, what even animals know. It is not that human being does
not know it. He errs even after knowing. Because of his intelligence! Animals
do not possess intelligence and they do not violate the laws of nature. Nature
always protects the birds and animals. After
two hours of eating There are some more aspects
worth discussing. We add more oil, tamarind, chili, salt and various
ingredients to give taste to our food. But they are not easily digestible. More
water is needed to digest them. That is the reason why we take water while
eating. As soon as the tasty food, which includes chili, salt, sour etc enters
the mouth more saliva is produced and the food slips into the stomach without
proper chewing. We have to chew food properly till it becomes liquid. If you
take boiled vegetables saliva is not produced in the mouth. Then we do not have
to take water. After one and a half or two hours of eating food, we have to
take at least a liter of water. It helps digested food get assimilated into
blood and push the waste material into intestines. What
causes sneeze, asthma, and allergies? We suffer from sneezes, asthma,
allergies and sinusitis during winter and rainy seasons. We try to satisfy
ourselves blaming the weather for it. During winter and rainy seasons we
consume less water. When we do not take required water histamine level in the
body increases. With this we sneeze and suffer from allergies. Anti histamine
medicines are used to control the illness. When we stop medicines, again
sneezes and allergies come back. Five
liters of water a day It is better to take at least
five liters of water a day to avoid any illness. In a way every disease in the
body has something to do with water. If we take less water blood pressure goes
down and we feel weak. Our heartbeat also slows down. And you will find other
ailments appearing in your body. Be certain that five liters of water a day
insures your body from any disease. Schedule
for drinking water We should also know how this
water is to be taken and what is the appropriate time to take it. After rising
from the bed one or one and a half liters of water is to be taken. The pressure
of water in intestines makes clearing your bowels easy. After another 45
minutes one more liter of water is to be taken. It is useful to take water on
empty stomach. We wash our eyes, face and body with water and brush our teeth
to clean the mouth. The two, three liters of water that is taken in the morning
is very useful in purging out the waste material from intestines. We should
never take water immediately after taking food. Half an hour early to food and
after two hours of meal 1 liter of water should be taken. We should not think
that since we have taken three liters of water in the morning and there is no
necessity of water till evening. In between also we have to take water. In all
five liters of water in a day is good for the body. Refrigerated water is never
to be taken. With this, there will be swelling of tonsils. Those whose
digestive system is abnormal it is better to take warm water. Advantages
from five liters of water Let us analyze the advantages
of drinking five liters a day:
Better
than sodas Intake of more water is
advantageous but not harmful. You may think that sodas, butter milk, coconut
water and fruit juices are better. No doubt all these liquids are good. On
entering the tissues they give energy to the body. But Water helps further by
purging out the waste material from the tissues. Dry cloth absorbs water but not
the wet cloth. Similarly, pure water absorbs the waste material but juices and
other liquids cannot perform that job because they contain some salt that is
not helpful in absorbing waste material. That is why we can say water cures all
diseases. YOU ARE INVITED TO JOIN US IN BENEFITING FROM THE WORKS OF THE PEOPLE
