(By S.M. Murthy)
Water is not only used for the external cleansing of the body but also as medicine for various diseases as it helps in washing out toxins and micro-organisms.
As water enters our system, the movement of the vital fluids, the blood and lymph gets accelerated, the heart movement becomes more energetic and the function of the glands, kidneys, lungs, skin along with secretions from sweat and urine glands get activated.
Thus the body gets rid of different water-soluble toxins such as urates, sodium salts, oxalates and other nitrogenous wastes. Moreover, with increased moisture under its surface, the skin becomes soft and looks bright. Increased movement of blood through the lungs enables greater absorption of oxygen.
Depending upon seasonal variations and food habits, a person needs minimum 2-3 litres of water a day, which should be taken at equal intervals.
In diseased conditions, this requirement rises to detoxify the system. The soda water gets absorbed faster than normal water and relieves exhaustion caused due to excessive perspiration during summer. A glass of soda water mixed with lemon juice, sugar and a pinch of salt is really a refreshing drink.
