Water Therapy

April 7, 2008 

Many of us have cultivated at least a bad habit over the years, the seeds of which were sown early. One such that I have stuck to since childhood is an inadequate intake of water - a habit that can have serious impact on one’s health. V has given up trying to advise me on its benefits and devising new methods to make me drink water. I don’t have any aversion as such - it’s just not a habit as I don’t have the normal instinct to drink a glass of water after food or during food and it goes down to less than a glass the whole day during winter/rainy season. During my pregnancy, I consciously kept a filled bottle and set time targets by which the bottle had to be emptied - it worked for a while. Naturally, I complain of sickness that V doesn’t such as frequent headaches, constipation, increased weight and a general uneasiness.My brother and I had inherited this habit from my mother while my dad gulps down bottles and bottles through the course of the day.

Last week, my dad narrated a story of his obese colleague who was suddenly sporting a fit body. He didn’t waste no time in finding the secret - Water Therapy. I’ve tried getting dad - with a generous midsection himself - to do yoga, diet control but to no avail. Since this was easy, he started on it last Monday. Inspired by him, mom and I have been staring our day with 500 ml of water this past week. I can’t say it has worked wonders but I definitely feel lighter and good. If nothing else, the increased bowel movements
