UNBELIEVABLE! SEVEN DISEASES CURABLE BY DRINKING WATER ALONE

Ignorance leads us to spend much money whenever we fall sick when nature has provided us with ready-made antidote. You won’t believe the seven diseases you can cure simply by drinking water as at when due.

Heart Disease

Often called the silent killer, taking the lives of almost 2,200 people, there is a strong relationship between water and coronary health. One study demonstrated that drinking 5 or more glasses of water per day can cut the risk of dying from a heart attack by 50%. Study leaders say that drinking water is as important as exercising, not smoking and diet in preventing heart disease.

Hypertension

Many people have high blood pressure and don’t even know it. When you don’t consume enough water, the body actually hangs on to sodium to preserve fluids. Dehydration forces the shutdown of capillary beds and puts a tremendous pressure on both capillaries and arteries which elevates blood pressure. So, staying well-hydrated is a very important part of keeping hypertension at bay.

Blood Sugar

Drinking four or more (8 ounce) glasses of water per day can prevent the development of high blood sugar. Researchers state that a hormone called vasopressin (an antidiuretic hormone) helps to balance water retention. When we become dehydrated, the levels of this hormone increase which causes the kidneys to conserve water. Studies indicate that there are vasopressin receptors in the liver – which produces glucose in the body and that higher levels of vasopressin may cause a rise in blood sugar.

Kidney Stones

A proper supply of water helps to keep the kidneys functioning properly. Kidneys, along with the liver and urinary tract, are responsible for ridding the body of toxic materials. If the kidneys stop doing its job for just two days, metabolic toxins would accumulate and cause poisoning. When bacteria and proteins build up, stones (crystals) form – these are very painful and can be difficult to pass. Studies indicate that dehydration can increase the chance of stones to develop.

Asthma

A lack of water vapor in the lungs can cause airways to constrict and produce mucus – this can bring on an asthma attack. For this reason it is vital that persons suffering with asthma drink plenty of water each day. At least 10 (8 ounce) glasses of water are recommended.

Bladder Infection

Although the bladder passes fluids from the body – it needs water to do its job. The elastic muscle fibers of the bladder allow it to expand and store up to 750 ml of fluid. Pressure on the bladder walls trigger the need to urinate. Bladder infections are the result of bacteria entering the urine, which in turn creates the same urge to urinate as a full bladder. Consuming 6-8 glasses of water each day can help keep the bladder healthy and free from bacteria.

Diarrhea

As a first-aid for diarrhea, you can make your own oral rehydration solution at home. Mix a glass of water with two 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.

On the average it is advisable to drink 8-12 glasses of water per day to help forestall getting sick. In addition to the benefits listed above, water keeps your skin vibrant, support healthy metabolism, remove body heat, lubricate joints, improve mental and physical performance and support digestion.

So, drink more water and see the benefits affect change you for good.
