what da heckBenefits of Drinking Water
By Dr. Willie Ong
Recently, more scientific evidence have come up to support the benefits of drinking water. Experts agree that water is an effective way to prevent and treat certain diseases.
For the average person, we recommend the 8 x 8 rule, which is 8 glasses of 8 ounces of water a day. There are, of course, exceptions to the rule.
First, let’s learn about the benefits and medical basis for drinking water.
1. Water prevents kidney stones. The most common cause of kidney stones is not drinking enough water. Since water dissolves the substances that form stones in the urine, drinking 12 glasses a day helps treat kidney stones.
2. Water treats urinary tract infection. The more water you drink, the more you will urinate. Drinking lots of water will help flush out harmful bacteria from your bladder.
3. Water helps patients with diarrhea by preventing dehydration. As a first-aid for diarrhea, you can make your own oral rehydration solution at home. Mix a glass of water with 2 teaspoons sugar and one-fourth teaspoon salt. Drink as much as you can tolerate since this is similar to the dextrose solution in the hospital.
4. Water helps reduce fever. For symptoms of flu, drinking water can help lower fever by urinating the “heat” out of your body. If you’re sick, take in more water to recover faster.
5. Water helps treat cough, colds, sore throat, and respiratory infections. Water helps loosen sticky phlegm. A respected lung specialist told me that some mucolytics are just as beneficial as drinking lots of water.
6. Water reduces heartburn. Taking 2 to 3 gulps of water every 20 minutes or so can help flush the stomach acid away. Bananas and water are effective alternatives to taking antacids. Try it.
7. Water prevents constipation and its complications. Too little water can harden the stools and lead to hemorrhoids and diverticulosis, a disease of the large bowel. Eat lots of vegetables and drink water to soften your stools.
8. Water keeps you alert and energetic. If you’re dehydrated, your blood is literally thicker. This makes it harder for the blood to circulate. As a result, the brain can become less active and you can feel confused and fatigued. Some studies also show that water may help cure migraine headaches.
9. Water helps reduce weight. By drinking a glass or two of water before a meal, you will lessen the amount of food you can eat in order to feel full. Water has zero calories and will not make you fat.
10. Water keeps your skin soft and radiant. Just as a dehydrated person will have deep-set eyes and wrinkled skin, so will a fully hydrated person exhibit a radiant and beautiful skin tone.
10 Healthy Ways To Drink Water
1. Drink water when you wake up. Your body loses water while you sleep, so drink a glass before you go to sleep, and another glass when you wake up. You are naturally thirsty or dehydrated in the morning. Drinking water in the morning helps flush out the toxins that have accumulated all night.
2. Drink 8 to 12 glasses a
