Water Therapy

• I had written a blog post as to how ou should drink plenty of water.
• https://anupsabat.blogspot.com/2018/11/drink-plenty-of-water.html
• I have further something to add to it.
• If you have to drink 3-4 litres of water daily I suggest you do it as early as possible in the day.
• Means you should drink 1 litre of water as soon as you get up.
• I would like to make reference to one Dr Anuj video which I had received on WhatsApp.
• Same is available on Youtube and it is as below:
• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJvtdDna0G8
• Basically what Dr Anuj says that there are three Mantras for leading a disease free life and those are listed as below
• He says one should drink 1 litre of water immediately after one gets up in the morning does not matter if one brushes the teeth or not. That may be warm or cold not mentioned but preferable warm.
• 40 minutes after having food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) one should have 1 glass of warm water. Here he was specific about warm water.
• He says we should always drink water while sitting and not standing.
• The above are the three mantras and additionally he says that the water we drink should have a PH value of 8.5 ideally and there a machines available to measure it and if possible one should install those.
• Now let me get back to what I have to say. I am no Doctor I must say. I am a normal person.
• According to me, I play no emphasis to sitting or standing. You can drink water while sitting or standing it does not matter. Important is to drink the water.
• Next is by personal experience I recommend you drink only warm water.
• Whenever you are drinking large quantities of water like 2 glasses and above you should drink warm water.
• Hence you should buy a Kettle which I have also bought and when you keep 1 litre of water and switch it on, in 45 second the water becomes warm enough to drink.
• PH value is technical term and I do not know about. I must say drinking water is important and PH value is secondary.
• After food you may drink water or not depends on your body's desire or you may have a sip of water.
• Important is that in the course of the day you should drink 3 to 4 litres of water in the course of 24 hours.
• That is the point. Dr Anuj in the video does not mention how much water we should drink.
• A simple Google search reveals "A 150 pound person should drink 75 to 150 ounces of water per day"
• Converting to litres and kg it turns out "A 68 kg person should drink 2.2 litre to 4.4 litre of water per day"
• Based on the above we can make a table:

• Weight	Water Recommended (min)	Water Recommended (max)
  (kgs)	(litres)	(lites)
  68	2.2	4.4
  50	1.62	3.24
  60	1.94	3.88
  70	2.26	4.53
  80	2.59	5.18
  90	2.91	5.82
  100	3.24	6.47
  110	3.56	7.12
  120	3.88	7.76
  130	4.21	8.41
  140	4.53	9.06

• Thus if we consider just the minimum values if you are 100 kgs you should drink 3.25 litres of water minimum.
• Drinking water is only valid if you drink based on your body weight.
• And you should drink only warm water unless you are just taking a sip.
• If as per a pattern you are drinking then you should only drink warm water.
• Also it is advisable that as early in the day you should complete the daily quota of drinking the water.
• If before breakfast you are able to drink 3 litres of water then nothing like it. Just don't wait for the day to progress or end for drinking the water or you will never be able to complete the quota.
• If before breakfast you are able to drink 3 litres of water then any water you drink subsequently may come from "sips of water" which may not have to be warm.
• It is like some homework or any work given to you and when you complete it before time, the rest of the time "you earned it".
• So if you drink the ideal water preferably 3 litres of water as early in the day, subsequently you do not need to "force feed" the water to yourself.
• Trust me drinking water if essential to prevent ill health and avoid problems like back pain.
