<p style="text-align: left;">Water Therapy has magical effects in curing diseases. Everybody has experienced a positive change in their health after implementing water therapy in their daily routine. You can never believe it before practicing.</p>
<p>How To Do Water Therapy?</p>
<p>Early morning, after you get up from bed, (without even brushing your teeth) drink 1.50 liters of water i.e. 5 to 6 glasses. You may wash your face thereafter. This is called water therapy.<span id="more-308"></span></p>
<p>Here it is very essential to note that nothing else, neither drinks nor solid food of any sort should be taken within 1 hour before and after drinking these 1.5 liters of water. It is also to be strictly observed that no alcoholic drinks shall be taken the previous night.</p>
<p>If required, boiled and filtered water may be used for this purpose. Is it possible to drink 1.50 liters of water at one time? To begin with, one may find it difficult to drink 1.50 liters of water at one time, but one will get used to it gradually.</p>
<p>Initially, while practicing you may drink four glasses first and then the balance two glasses after a gap of 2 minutes. Initially you may find the necessity to urinate 2-3 times within an hour, but it will become normal after quite some time.</p>
<p>Benefits of Water Therapy</p>
<p>Relief from stress, weight loss, glowing skin, feeling fresh and energetic throughout the day and good digestion are some of the major benefits of water therapy. Have a look at some of the comments below made by people after trying water therapy.</p>
<p>1. Ever since I started this water therapy, I have noticed a glow on my skin, my eyes sparkle, and I feel so clean and so beautiful. I noticed that I always have a bowel movement after my water therapy and my constipation is gone.</p>
<p>2. Water therapy is just amazing! Though I have to urinate a lot of times in an hour but it makes sense. It makes me feel so good and so good. Thanks to this water therapy! Thank GOD for giving us the water to drink.</p>
<p>3. Water therapy is really wonderfully beneficial. So much that people who have not practiced this can&#8217;t even imagine. It makes your body thoroughly clean and pure from inside and outside. I recommend that everybody should start practicing water therapy to keep tremendously fit and disease free.</p>
<p>About Water Therapy</p>
<p>It is popular in Japan and India today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value.</p>
<p>They publish below a description of use of water in water therapy for their readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses, the water therapy treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a hundred percent cure for the following diseases</p>
<p>* Headache<br />
* Body Ache<br />
* Heart System<br />
* Arthritis<br />
* Fast Heart Beat<br />
* Epilepsy<br />
* Excess<br />
* Fatness<br />
* Bronchitis<br />
* Asthma<br />
* TB<br />
* Meningtitis<br />
* Kidney and Urine diseases<br />
* Vomiting gastritis<br />
* Diarrhea<br />
* Piles<br />
* Diabetes<br />
* Constipation<br />
* All Eye Diseases<br />
* Menstrual Disorders<br />
* Ear Nose<br />
* Throat Diseases</p>
<p>Water Therapy &#8211; Method of Treatment</p>
<p>1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4-6 glasses of water each of 160 ml.<br />
2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minutes.<br />
3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.<br />
4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for two hours.<br />
5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink four glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to four glasses per day.<br />
6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life.</p>
<p>The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure main diseases:</p>
<p>1. High Blood Pressure &#8211; 30 days<br />
2. Gastric &#8211; 10 days<br />
3. Diabetes &#8211; 30 days<br />
4. Constipation &#8211; 10 days<br />
5. TB &#8211; 90 days</p>
<p>Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment for only 3 days in the first week to be followed by daily treatment. This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.</p>
<p>Are you drinking the amount of water you should drink every day?</p>
<p>How does pure water help the body?</p>
<p>Consuming ordinary drinking water by the right method purifies human body. It renders the colon more effective by forming new fresh blood, known in medical terms as Haematopaises. That the mucousal folds of the colon and intestines are activated by this method, is an undisputed fact, just as the theory that new fresh blood is produced by the mucousal fold. If the colon is cleansed then the nutrients of the food taken several times a day will be absorbed and by the action of the mucousal folds they are turned into fresh blood. The blood is all-important in curing ailments and restoring health and for this water should be consumed in a regular pattern. This is why water therapy is recommended to be added to your daily routine.</p>

<p>Important: Please note there are no scientific evidences of this theory to be true. I am just sharing what was shared with me. I&#8217;ve searched on the web for the Japanese medical society who claimed this water theory to be true but was unable to find any clue. If you have any clue, please post it as the comment.</p>
<p>Good Health to all of you with Water Therapy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><img src="http://www.healthcare4me.net/pics/disease.jpg" alt="Top 10 Ways to Reduce Your Risk of Heart Disease" width="350" height="300" /></p>
<p align="center">The number-one killer in America (for both men and women), heart disease is the result of the narrowing of the arteries that supply the heart with blood, oxygen, and nutrients. This process, called coronary artery disease, can generally be traced to a condition called atherosclerosis, the build-up of cholesterol-rich fatty deposits, or plaques, on the inside of arterial walls. As these deposits accumulate over time, the coronary arteries narrow to the point that the flow of oxygenated blood to the heart is impeded. (Arterial spasms — triggered by smoking, extreme emotional stress, or exposure to very cold temperature —may also cause coronary arteries to narrow suddenly and dangerously.)<span id="more-55"></span></p>
<p align="left"><strong> The Risk Factors — and How You Can Reduce Yours</strong><br />
Major risk factors for cardiovascular disease include cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and/or triglycerides, diabetes mellitus, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and poor nutrition. Prevention and treatment centers around these risk factors — and these approaches will help you lower risk for many other types of illness, as well as helping you feel great and have more energy overall.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>1. Don&#8217;t smoke.</strong><br />
Cigarette smoking remains the leading preventable cause of cardiovascular disease in women, with more than 50 percent of heart attacks among middle-aged women attributable to tobacco. Risk of cardiovascular disease begins to decline within months of smoking cessation and reaches the level of persons who have never smoked within 3 to 5 years.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>2. Lower your cholesterol.</strong><br />
High blood cholesterol is a condition that greatly increases your chances of developing coronary heart disease. Extra cholesterol in the blood settles on the inner walls of the arteries, narrowing them and allowing less blood to pass through them to the heart. Aim for total cholesterol below 200 mg/dL; LDL cholesterol below 130 mg/dL and HDL above 35 mg/dL.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>3. Maintain a healthy weight.</strong><br />
Obesity and sedentary lifestyles are epidemics in the United States that contribute to increased risk of cardiovascular disease. The prevalence of obesity has increased among both men and women in the United States in the past decade; currently about one third of adult women (or 34 million) are classified as obese. Also, 60% of both men and women get no regular physical activity. Obesity, especially abdominal adiposity, is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease in women.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>4. Exercise regularly.</strong><br />
Recent evidence suggests that even moderate-intensity activity, including brisk walking, is associated with substantial reduction of cardiovascular disease risk. These findings support the 1995 federal exercise guidelines endorsing 30 minutes of moderately intense physical activity most days of the week, a program that should be feasible and safe for most of the population. Regular exercise and maintenance of healthy weight should also help reduce insulin resistance and the risk of non–insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, which appears to be an even stronger risk factor for cardiovascular disease in women than in men. Diabetes is associated with a threefold to sevenfold elevation in cardiovascular disease risk among women, compared with a twofold to threefold elevation among men. Approximately half of all deaths in patients with non–insulin dependent diabetes mellitus are due to heart disease.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>5. Eat less saturated fat, more produce &amp; more fiber.</strong><br />
Diets low in saturated fat and high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fiber are associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Also, a recent study reported in the Annals of Internal Medicine journal confirmed that the consumption of fruits and vegetables, particularly green leafy vegetables and vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables, seems to have a protective effect against coronary heart disease. You may even think about moving toward more flexitarian or vegetarian eating habits: A vegetarian diet reduces the risk of coronary artery disease, and may even reverse existing coronary artery disease when combined with other lifestyle changes. A Mediterranean diet that uses olive oil can reduce the risk of coronary artery disease.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>6. Avoid trans fats.</strong><br />
Trans fatty acids have been linked to adverse lipid profiles and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. This includes most margarines. The role of other fatty acids, including monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and marine omega-3 fatty acids, remains controversial.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>7. Consume alcohol only in moderation.</strong><br />
Moderate intake of alcohol is related to reduction of cardiovascular disease — but may raise blood pressure and increase risk of breast cancer. Early surgical menopause is linked to increased risk of cardiovascular disease, which appears to be negated by the use of estrogen therapy.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>8. Arm yourself with risk-reducing supplements.</strong><br />
Antioxidant vitamin supplements, particularly vitamin E and homocysteine-lowering agents such as folate and B6, have promising roles in prevention of cardiovascular disease, but conclusive evidence may hinge on the results of several ongoing randomized clinical trials. When it is found in unusually high levels, homocysteine brings the same degree of risk as having high cholesterol does. The B vitamins, especially folic acid and B12, will drive elevated homocysteine levels down to normal, often without the need of any prescription medication.</p>
<p align="left"><strong>9. Give yourself some new stress-management tools.</strong><br />
Poorly controlled stress may have an adverse effect on blood lipids. An attitude of hostility has been powerfully linked with a higher incidence of cardiac events, and cynical distrust has been associated with accelerated progression of carotid artery disease. Relaxation methods (meditation, breathing exercises), yoga, and stress management techniques are essential for preventing cardiovascular disease and coronary artery disease and for reducing the risk of recurrent cardiac problems. Meditation improves exercise tolerance and decreases electrical changes associated with poor circulation to the heart. Meditation has also been shown to lower cholesterol and reverse carotid artery thickening. Also consider acupuncture, which has been shown to help relax the myocardium and improve circulation.</p>
<p align="left"><strong> 10. Ask your health professional about herbs and nutritional supplements that may be useful in preventing and treating cardiovascular disease, including:</strong></p>
<p align="left">- Bilberry<br />
- Turmeric (curcumin)<br />
- Fenugreek<br />
- Ginger<br />
- Guggul<br />
- Ginkgo<br />
- Garlic (one garlic clove is roughly equal to 4 mg to 1 gram of garlic; a daily dose of 600 to 800mg may be recommended)<br />
- Onion<br />
- Vitamin B12<br />
- Folic acid (500 to 5000 micrograms daily may be recommended)<br />
- B6<br />
- L-Carnitine<br />
- Coenzyme Q10 (100 to 300 mg daily may be recommended)<br />
- Vitamin E (400 to 800 International Units daily may be recommended)<br />
- Magnesium (200 to 400 mg daily may be recommended)<br />
- Niacin (A typical oral dose of 100 mg, three times daily; may gradually increase to avg. dose of 1 gram three times daily, with a maximum dose of 6 grams. Extended release tablets: Dosing may begin with one 375-milligram tablet at bedtime and be increased by no more than 500 mg per four-week period, to a maximum of 2,000 mg, given as two 1,000-milligram tablets before bed)<br />
-  Fish oils (6 grams daily may be recommended))<br />
- Soy (Isoflavones may be recommended))</p>

<p align="center"><strong>What are the Right Numbers?</strong></p>
<p align="center">Depending on where you look, recommended blood glucose levels can vary. The American Diabetes Association (ADA) numbers differ from the American College of Endocrinology (ACE) guidelines. The ACE recommendations are more strict than the ADA&#8217;s. How do you know which to follow? Ask your healthcare provider which goals are right for you. The table below compares the two sets of guidelines for blood glucose, blood pressure and cholesterol.<span id="more-42"></span></p>
<p align="center"><strong>How many times a day should you check your blood glucose levels?</strong></p>
<p align="center">Checking your blood glucose levels often through out the day will help you to figure out how to keep good control. First thing in the morning before breakfast, two hours after a meal and before bed are good times to test. Other recommended times include before, during and after an exercise session, especially if it is strenuous or if you are feeling like your blood sugar may be low or high.</p>
<p align="center"><strong>What is the A1C?</strong></p>
<p align="center">It&#8217;s a blood test that helps you and your doctor monitor your overall glucose control.</p>
<p align="center">It gives an average of the amount of glucose in your blood over a few months&#8217; time. It is usually ordered 2 to 4 times a year. If you are newly diagnosed or having trouble maintaining good day-to-day control, it may be ordered more often.</p>
