a doctor named batmanghelidj has written a book called 'your body's many
cries for water'. in it, he attributes many ailments to chronic
dehydration. while some of his claims are outrageous ( his chapter on AIDS
is totally obnoxious ), there is a certain amount of truth in what he says.
the two most reasonable claims are the beneficial effects being well hydrated
have on asthma and allergies as well as the effects on constipation ( i'm
sure you're all relieved to know that ).
while being well hydrated may not be the cure you're looking for, it
certainly pays to give yourself a better chance by not making matters worse.
by taking care of your bodies second most important need, you're sure to
improve your chances for fighting whatever ails you. being well hydrated
thins mucous and that may help make your coughing less severe.
