Water

Water is not a food but still it needs to be digested. Surprised? But it’s true.

I decided to put it quick because I myself was committing lots of mistakes while drinking water. 

Ancient ayurvedic sages NEVER stressed on drinking too much water however few sages later insisted to have “Usha Paan” empty stomach morning water, but limited it to 750 ml only ,for a healthy person. It takes 3 hours for the body to digest water. “Maharshi Vagbhatt” said, drinking water without thirst can lead to 60 diseases. In fact a physically weak person is suggested to avoid plain water. He should take nutritionally supplemented water only.

Too much or too less water intake can cause :

·       Lazyness, dry cough and gastric

·       Nausea and giddiness

·       “Mandagni” means ceased digestive fire or weak digestion which in turn causes other diseases.

·       Load on kidneys and swelling in body cells even brain.

·       18 types of Skin disorders

·       Diabetes

Rules of drinking water :

·       Drink water only when thirsty.

·       Drink warm water at least an hour before a meal. Don’t drink water when very hungry. Doing so will cease your digestive fire and will aggravates “Vaat” or gas/air.

·       Drinking water immediately after a meal will cause obesity and diseases above chest. It aggravates “Kaffa”. One and half or two hour after meal is the ideal time.

·       Small sips of water or other fluid are allowed while taking your meal. It helps digestion but only 25% of the dry meal can be fluid.

Who can benefit from cooked water:

“Gulm Arso Grahani chayeshu”

·       Those who feel like a ball moving in their stomach with cramps

·       Those with bleeding piles

·       Who is suffering from Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

·       Who is suffering from Tuberculosis and have lost weight

·       Who have weak digestive fire or who don’t  feel hunger

·       Those with swollen body or cells.

·       Those suffering from anaemia

·       Who have throat problem and runny nose

·       An injured person with pus in wounds

·       Who suffers from frequent urination

·       Any eye diseases ,cough problem and gas problems

·       Who suffers loose motion.

Cooked water is the best to drink. Heat it up in the morning and let it cool. It becomes easy to digest. Consume it in small quantity when you are thirsty. Water cooked in the morning should not be consumed in night and vice versa. 

Note :- Person who work hard physically or work in hot environment are exceptions.
