Excess of everything is bad. This should have been the real moto for the health. I have a 4yrs sons. I went to a doctor for polio drops for him. Incidentally, the 3 polio drops were given instead of prescribed dose of 2 drops. I asked the Dr., whether the excess will harm him. He said no, the body will take ony its requirement, and the excess will be passed on through urine. Now same is the example with water. In case sometimes, excess water is taken, and the stomach get balloned, after some time with the passage of urine, stomach becomes normal. In a nut shell, the body will absorb its requirement only, and the rest will be taken out through urine.
The above infomormation seems to be a totally absurd. Now consider the olden days, people used to drink 7-8 glasses of water, and the average life of a person was plus 80, then how the same was achieved ? Even in hot climate, it you donot drink much water, the urine passed is yellow, but when you have enough water, it becomes white. The research done by the scientest failed to analyse about the quality of the water. The quality of water varies from different place to place. Some water are easily digestable, and some are not. Further, if you keep Ganga water for longer to longer period, the quality never changes, i remains as it is. But this is not the case in other waters. If you keep them, the fungus will be prepared into it. Therefore, this article in itself is a myth.

the argument that less water is enough is not correct..........2to 3 liters of water taken at regular intervals one glass an hour, keeps a person healthy, minimises constipation and acidity and relieves the body of harmful toxins

Myth 1. Olden days people live for 80 years by drinking 7-8 glasses of water. Truth: They would have lived for 100 years if they had taken less water.
Myth 2. Taking 2-3 glasses of water will minimise constipation and acidity and relieves toxins
Truth: Even those drink 2-2 glasses water gets acidity, constipation and their body is not free from toxins.
Myth 3. People write as if they are experts in health matters.

Dear Ramdas
You have taken the issue in a wrong direction basically. It seems like now that if you say, that if they had not taken a water, then they should have not faced the death, and lived today also. It is not like that. The average age of the human beings had already pre determined. Even a man crosses plus 80 without any diseases can face the death, because his life period is over. It has nothing to do with water, as the debate is going on.

Asim Sir can u elaborate further on this "pre determined average age " issue. Does it mean thay whether any one eats anything or not he is destined to live upto his predetermined age inspite of diseases ! Now its u who is taking this in a wrong direction. This is a major myth in itself that in Olden days all people lived 80 plus years!. coz as far as i know each family had about 10 brothers & sisters out which sometimes five died before even reaching puberty !!

I am intrigued by this claim re Ganga water. Has it been investigated with the tools of modern Science?
Re: Re: This article in itself is a myth.
by Asim Mehtani on Jun 01, 2009 04:08 PM
There is nothing to be investigated. You yourself can analyse. Store Ganga water in a glass bottle, and also a normal water in a glass bottle. Then you see the difference with your eyes after a certain period of time.

I have ganga water at my home stored in a plastic bottle since 1986. It is absolutely same as when it was bottled from Haridwar way back in 1986. There is no change in quality.
This article needs to be challenged my health community, especially the para/myth 2 saying "750 ml of water is sufficient". It is well experimented fact that 75% of the body content is water and 2 litres is the minimum required. I think the writer has experimented on camels.
When you get sneeze while driving it is most dangerous. Because you close your eyes for a micro second which is fatal. Then wats the solution. Read carefully, with experience I found a solution. WHEN YOU ARE ABOUT TO SNEEZE WHILE DRIVING, KEEP ONE EYSE CLOSED, OTHER EYE WILL BE OPEN A LITTLE BIT SO THAT YOU CAN STILL CONCENTRATE ON RAOD AND TRAFFIC. i have utilised this technique and found it very useful.

ramdas naik you have a good sense of humour. keep it up.
I am a qualified doctor. Some of the points mentioned in the article are very much misleading. The general public better not pay attention to such claims. Dear Rediff, some of your writers keep posting such articles without proper information, based on tit-bits of information. THATS NOT THE WAY MEDICAL SCIENCE WORKS. Finally, our people end up looking at us with confusion and suspicion. Please desist from irresponsibly, wrongly "educating"/ "enlightening" the general public.

Of course, the article quotes "The Mirror" as saying these things. Kindle put more time to cross-check the reliability and authenticity of such so-called "fact" and "myths".

Credebility and "THE MIRROR" - good joke ! Do you want people to believe on yellow & sensational journalism and a tabloid, which the quoted paper is natorious for ?.
Please do not publish such type of misleading articles,otherwise rediff will loose our respect and credibility. Vague statements without giving any published paper No.date and "Scientists" names achieve what ?Do not run after cheap publicity.What do you mean otherwise "Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania" ? With this type of sudo information ,elsewhere in the article ,do you want to give credebility to your article ? Is it a scientific way of publishing any rescearch data ? If it is so, you must apply for a new invention and a Doctarate. Please discourage such writters or else give us provision of declaring the complete article as ABUSE of forum.
