Simple drinking water can make an amazing difference to your health. Today, we explain why…

Back in 1979, an Iranian doctor, jailed in Tehran during the revolution for being middle class, was asked to look at a fellow prisoner who was dying of stomach pains. The doctor had no medicines. These had all been confiscated. All he could offer his patient was two glasses of water. To his total amazement the man recovered Since then, Dr Batmanghelidji, has become one of the world’s leading experts on the power of water.

Dr B, as he is known, believes many symptoms diagnosed by doctors are the product of dehydration. His message is: “You are not sick, your are thirsty.” He claims that Allergies, asthma, arthritis, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, headaches, hypertension and ulcers have all since responded to greater water intake. He says: “Tea, coffee, alchohol and soft drinks are no substitute for water. They all contain dehydrating agents. Water is essential for good health and strenghens our resistance to infection. Every function of the body is monitored and pegged to the efficient flow of water.”

And nature appears to agree. Our bodies are made up of 75 per cent water. Our brains contain 85 per cent.
