A drunkard said, “I added water to wine and it lost its taste. I did so with beer, the same thing happened. When I repeated it with coffee and, the result was the same. So, there is something wrong with water. It spoils everything.” Then I asked a doctor friend of mine as to what he thinks about water. He honestly admitted, “If
people start taking adequate water that the body needs, half of them won’t come to me.” This made me revel in the deep-rooted meaning of what he said.
According to Ayurveda a whopping 90% of our body weight is water. The scientists put it around 70%. Why so much water necessary in our body?
Just imagine that hundreds of chemical reactions are going on in a human body to convert the food into body building parts. From your senior secondary school you know that there are reactions with evolution of heat and others with absorption of heat.
Water is by far the most efficient and reliable cooling medium and it absorbs huge quantities of metabolic heat with comparatively little increase in temperature. By means of its rapid circulation through the body via the blood stream, it carries excess heat to the body’s surface for rapid releases to the atmosphere that surrounds the body. Even due to breathing, sweating etc. We lose water. One must therefore keep replenishing the water level in the body. Water is essential for every function of the body. It helps to transport nutrients and waste products in and out of cells. It is necessary for all functions like digestion, absorption, circulation and excretion. It is also needed for the maintenance of proper body temperature. For the sake of brevity let us consider a few vital points.
Each body cell consists of water and is also surrounded by water molecules. That means it acts as a cushion to the cells. This ensures a required level of oil and moisture in the skin. The cells are also shielded against carcinogenic irritations. Apart from this major advantage, water regulates the functioning of kidney, liver, pancreas and heart.
Brain consists of 75 % water. Moderate dehydration causes headaches and dizziness. Many a time thirst is misunderstood for hunger and people munch some snacks. It would be a healthy practice to drink some water and if the symptom persists then only to reach for the snacks.
Dr. F. Batmanghelidj, MD. has treated innumerable patients through what he has termed as “Water Cure”. He has brought out a manual called, “Your Body’s Many Cries for Water.”

He has established that the following diseases can been cured successfully in the time spam mentioned against each of them:
Constipation 1 day
Acidity 2 days
Diabetes 7 days
BP & Hypertension 4 weeks
Cancer 4 weeks
Pulmonary TB 3 months
The therapy involves consumption of about one and a half liters of water every morning on empty stomach. This sets up enough pressure for water to reach through capillaries all the cells even in the extremities. I am practicing this for about a decade and am convinced about the claims made by Dr. F. Batman. I have the feedback from people who are relived of migraine, ulcers, sinusitis and those who have become cool headed and better in educational standard. Why don’t you too safeguard yourself from diseases?
