DOES WATER THERAPY CURE DIABETES? I drink six glasses of water early in the morning. Please help me with full details.
AnswerWater is very healthy, especially when the source is of natural mineral water. It is good that you start your day by drinking water. This is the best way of giving your body freshness, cleaning it from wastes.
Water has no calorie, no fat, no cholesterol, low in sodium; so a perfect way to keep your blood sugar balances.
Pure water is the best. However, if you use bottled water, go for natural mineral water. Try to avoid soft drinks (that contain sodium, artificial sweeteners, etc).
To change the flavoring of water you drink, squeeze one or two fresh lemon in a bottle of 1.5 l of water (do not use sugar or soda) and drink it.
Lemon is a source of antioxidants, of vitamin C and helps in urinary and kidney problems (especially kidney stones).
One last thing: do not depend on drinking water only. You should consider other (
lifestyle) steps such as diet, physical activity, no smoking or alcohol, etc.
All the best!
