YOUR BODY'S MANY CRIES FOR WATER (NEW EDITION) Dr F Batmanghelidj
Even if you don't plan to read another book for the rest of your life, you still ought to read this one! Dr Batmanghelidj suggests that the factor most crucial to our health is the quality of water circulating in our blood. But as westerners, we are conditioned from childhood on to drink far too little water (by which he means water unmixed with tea, coffee, juice, cola or any other additive). And the drinks we do drink, such as tea and coffee, actually dehydrate us further. So many of the diseases prevalent in western society – from obesity, heart disease and high blood pressure, to asthma, rheumatoid arthritis and depression – are really diseases of dehydration, which could be prevented merely by changing our drinking habits. This is a revelatory book, convincingly illustrated with letters from patients who have been helped by Dr Batmanghelidj's methods.
