we all know [but/that] i like to say it again and again

"Only the good can be happy, and only the virtuous are good." - Aristotle

"Thoughts are causes, and conditions are effects. You become what you think about most of the time. It is the world inside of you that creates the conditions of your life." - Brian Tracy

Yeah, I'm on a roll with the motivational audio courses. And I'm drinking lots of water. I feel really good and virtuous.

[Water: For Health, for Healing, for Life: You're Not Sick, You're Thirsty! (Paperback) by F. Batmanghelidj, 2003]

The author, a physician trained in Iran (Your Body's Many Cries for Water), not only believes that drinking water is healthy, but makes extravagant claims for its curative powers. He recounts here how he first discovered the healing abilities of water, when he was a political prisoner more than 20 years ago. While incarcerated, he successfully treated with plain water the stress-induced peptic ulcers that afflicted some of his fellow prisoners. According to Batmanghelidj, most people rely on dry mouth to signal thirst and as a result are seriously dehydrated. He posits that symptoms like fatigue, anxiety or depression indicate dehydration, which may result in serious conditions such as asthma, hypertension, brain damage, cancer, constipation, allergies and obesity. In order to compensate for fluid lost through urination, respiration, and perspiration, Batmanghelidj suggests drinking a minimum of two quarts of plain water daily (not alcohol, caffeine beverages or juices). In order to maintain good health, he also advises ingesting half a teaspoon of salt to balance water intake. In addition, a diet consisting of 80% fruits and vegetables and 20% protein should be followed along with an exercise program.
