Benefits of Drinking Plenty of Water

If you've read my previous articles, you may be somewhat convinced of the crucial role of water in well-being and slowing the aging process.

I now bring an expert's input on this subject.  In his book "Water for Health, For Healing, For Life", F. Batmanghelidj, M.D. points out the following benefits of drinking adequate amounts of water:

  • Water as a main lubricant for joint spaces will help prevent arthritis and back pain.
  • Water increases the efficiency of the immune system to prevent illness.
  • Water prevents clogging of arteries in the heart and brain, to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.
  • Water is directly connected to brain function: it can prevent attention deficit disorder, improving our attention span.
  • Water helps prevent memory loss as we age, reducing the risk of degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's Disease, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's Disease and Lou Gehrig's Disease.

The list goes on.  Please do yourself a huge favor and research the role of water in the human body.  You will be flooded with hope for health.
