Water - A natural way to healthy life

With regard to water requirements let us not conclude with sentiments, second hand information, unscientific advices without any solid proof, prejudice and bias because water just like air are the most important vital need for our survival.

What is happening now a days is type of conclusions by the five blind men judging what an elephant is. These are so many factors in this and water intake can vary with just 25 ml. to 4 litters depending up on the condition of the person.

Let me explain before we come to the requirements of a healthy adult person. Remember that this is a science by itself and we can write volumes about it. So better take the advice of a doctor or an expert on this keeping in mind the wrong advices coming forward many times. First let us agree the fallowing facts.

1) A kidney patient, no matter he is in the initial stages of the problems or in advance stage, needing transplant or dialysis should not take water unless specifically ordered by the doctor who may ask to limit water intake to the minimum.

2) A person living in the desert, no matter how he is and what is the condition is unable to find enough water and all the theories get lost. Remember Kidney is a wonderful machine with an automatic mechanism of "urine circulation" (Those who have read the Encyclopedia of Nursing - five volume set know this). When ever there is shortage of water input, the kidney adjusts the function by purifying the urine by molecular filtration and converting it to pure injectable water. The situations are where water is not available for drinking and patients who cannot drink much water. In this case the evaporation loss only need be replaced as external drinking water and that even, in difficult situations. To minimize the evaporation loss air-conditioned rooms or at least cool places with optimum humidity are ideal shall be useful.

3) A person living e.g. in Madurai may need considerable extra water compared to some one living in Kerala. This is because of the low humidity in Madurai which falls to as low as 30 percent. Even Climate and weather changes can affect the intake of water. Even in Kerala the so called winter season from November to March the relative atmospheric humidity goes low and body evaporation is high and naturally the water intake may be varying accordingly. (A word about climate and weather. I am ways shocked to know that most people do not know what is climate and what weather is. Climate in a place usually does not change and weather only changes).

4) A person having physical work may need more water than a a person with sedentary life style. So also a person working in an A/C room may need different quantity of water depending up on the humidity control of the working place.

Because of very many factors like the above we cannot say a hard and fast rule as to how much you should drink.

How ever, let us face the facts. Water is a carrier of impurities and a cleaning material. Just like you clan the floor the dirt in the body is excreted as urine, sweat etc. More you drink more you have pure blood. In addition water diluted the blood making it easier for pumping by the heart. Many people do not know that blood pressure varies even minute to minute but under certain range for that day. Many people who have lack of sleep have got up after their blood pressure went up suddenly and they cannot sleep any more.
Even checking the B. P. will not sow the sudden change taken place when he got up from the sleep. In such situations drink a liter of water and he goes to sleep in a few minutes unless he has some other problems. Why? Because the blood got diluted and the heart functions better and kidney has filtered much easier as it is thinner! We have about 7 percent of body weight as blood and 75 percent of it is water.

When you grind the rice for Dosa and the water is less, you find the mixie makes a sound and even motor gets burnt if more water is not added. Add a very small quantity of water and the motor works fine. More the water better is the running of the mixie. So also is the case with the human heart which functions better when the blood is diluted and thinner.

So the water requirements in general for a healthy person can be between 3 percent to 5 percent of the body weight successively increasing the percentage for heavier persons and according to the different situations explained above. One can easily calculate how much water he needs.

For a healthy person the only known problem I know in drinking too much water depletion of potassium through urine. If your diet is right with food with potassium (Banana and Orange with its with the flavido intact etc.) this problem may not happen.

As a clarification needed when talking about drinking water and losing minerals we have to know the following. When you lose potassium you also lose sodium. So the sodium potassium balance is in tact. In human body there is a balance of these two. Potassium is in the inter cellular fluids and sodium in extra cellular fluids. So when sodium is more the blood pressure increase.

On way to control the balance is to use low sodium salt being marketed by well known brands like Tatas. Even at a high cost it worth using this salt with enough potassium to safe guard your blood pressure as it contains potassium to compensate the sodium salt taken otherwise.

A few other important aspects of drinking water are:-

a) Better do not drink water while eating and after it has partially digested because digestion takes place by enzymes and more water is mixed more time it takes and less efficient the digestion is.

b) If you want to reduce the weight and control intake of food better take enough water 15 minutes to half an hour before food.

c) Thirst and hunger are interlinked and you can suppress the hunger by drinking water for those who want to take less food. Drink a lot of water and you will not feel to eat or even take alcohol until the water is absorbed in to the blood which takes about 75 minutes.

c) Those who drink hard liquor remember to take fives its volume of water at least to avoid overloading the kidney function,

d) Most of water drunk is absorbed by the large intestine.

e) When you eat food especially in modern times there are a lot poisons materials including heavy metals and chemicals which all get deposited in the liver and lever is called a scavenger. So if you drink enough water these poisons are excreted as urine instead of stored in the lever.

“The secret of happiness is not in doing what one likes to do, but in liking what he has to do”

'PEACE OF MIND'

Beautiful Thought by The Buddha

Once Buddha was travelling with a few of his followers. While they were passing a lake, Buddha told one of his disciples, "I am thirsty. Do get me some water from the lake."



The disciple walked up to the lake. At that moment, a bullock cart started crossing through the lake. As a result, the water became very muddy and turbid. The disciple thought, "How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink?"

So he came back and told Buddha, "The water in there is very muddy. I don't think it is fit to drink."

After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back to the lake.

The disciple went back, and found that the water was still muddy. He returned and informed Buddha about the same.

After sometime, again Buddha asked the same disciple to go back.

This time, the disciple found the mud had settled down, and the water was clean and clear. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to Buddha.

Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the disciple and said," See what you did to make the water clean. You let it be, and the mud settled down on its own -- and you have clear water.

Your mind is like that too ! When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time. It will settle down on its own. You don't have to put in any effort to calm it down. It will happen. It is effortless."

Having 'Peace of Mind' is not a strenuous job; it is an effortless process!

TREAT EVERYONE WITH POLITENESS
EVEN THOSE WHO ARE RUDE TO YOU
NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT NICE
BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE NICE.

Smiling can actually look good in the eyes of others. When you smile you not only appear to be more likable and courteous, but you actually appear to be more competent.


A UC Berkley 30-year longitudinal study that examined the photos of students in an old yearbook and tried to measure their success and well-being throughout their life. By measuring their student smiles, researchers were able to predict how fulfilling and long-lasting a subject's marriage will be, how well she would score on standardized tests of well-being and how inspiring she would be to others

Another aha! moment came from a 2010 Wayne State University research project that looked into pre-1950s baseball cards of Major League players. The researchers found that the span of a players smile could actually predict the span of his life. Players who didn't smile in their pictures lived an average of only 72.9 years, where players with beaming smiles lived an average of almost 80 years.

The good news is that we're actually born smiling. Using 3D ultrasound technology, we can now see that developing babies appear to smile, even in the womb. When they're born, babies continue to smile -- initially, mostly in their sleep. And even blind babies smile to the sound of the human voice. Smiling is one of the most basic, biologically-uniform expressions of all humans.

In studies conducted in Papua New Guinea, Paul Ekman, the world's most renowned researcher on facial expressions, found that even members of the Fore tribe, who were completely disconnected from Western culture, and also known for their unusual cannibalism rituals, attributed smiles to descriptions of situations the same way you and I would. So we smile often, and you smile to express joy and satisfaction.

More than a third of us smile more than 20 times per day, whereas less than 14 percent of us smile less than five. In fact, those with the most amazing superpowers are actually children who smile as many as 400 times per day.

Have you ever wondered why being around children who smile so frequently makes you smile very often? A recent study at Uppsala University in Sweden found that it's very difficult to frown when looking at someone who smiles. You ask, why? Because smiling is evolutionarily contagious, and it suppresses the control we usually have on our facial muscles.

In addition to theorizing on evolution in "The Origin of Species", Charles Darwin also wrote the facial feedback response theory. His theory states that the act of smiling itself actually makes us feel better -- rather than smiling being merely a result of feeling good.


Lots of smiling can actually make you healthier. Smiling can help reduce the level of stress-enhancing hormones like cortisol, adrenaline and dopamine, increase the level of mood-enhancing hormones like endorphin and reduce overall blood pressure.

And if that's not enough, smiling can actually look good in the eyes of others. A recent study at Penn State University found that when you smile you don't only appear to be more likable and courteous, but you actually appear to be more competent.

Whenever you want to look great and competent, reduce your stress or improve your marriage tap into a superpower that will help you and everyone around you live a longer, healthier, happier life, smile.

BURNS !!!!! BURNS !!!!! BURNS !!!!!


Impressive! Why did we never hear of this before??!! I've always just run it under the cold water tap.

A woman's experience with burns . . ..

Some time ago I was cooking some corn and stuck my fork in the boiling water to see if the corn was ready. I missed and my hand went into the boiling water.... A friend of mine, who was a Vietnam vet, came into the house, just as I was screaming, and asked me if I had some plain old flour... I pulled out a bag and he stuck my hand in it. He told me to keep my hand in the flour for 10 minutes which I did. He said that in Vietnam, there was a guy on fire and in their panic, they threw a bag of flour all over him to put the fire out...Well, it not only put the fire out, but he never even had a blister!!!!

... Long story short, I put my hand in the bag of flour for 10 minutes, pulled it out and did not even have a red mark or a blister and absolutely NO PAIN. Now, I keep a bag of flour in the fridge and every time I burn myself. *Cold flour feels even better than room temperature flour.

I use the flour and have never ONCE had I ever had even a red spot/burn mark, or a blister! I even burnt my tongue once, put the flour on it for about 10 minutes ... the pain was gone and no burn.

　

Try it . . . Experience a miracle! Keep a bag of flour in your fridge and you will be happy you did!

BTW, don't run your burn area under cold water first, just put it directly into the flour for 10 minutes.
