metabolic rate by 24%. An increased metabolic rate leads to an improved digestive
system. Hence, this proves most beneficial for those who are on a strict diet as
they are likely to follow their diet routine more easily once they are able to
digest their food faster.
4. Fights Kidney Stones And Bladder Infections – It is a fact that drinking water
on an empty stomach dilutes the acids which leads to stones in the kidney. Hence,
the more water you drink (to a healthy limit), the more you will be protected from
all kinds of bladder infections caused by toxins.

5. Strengthens Immune System – A strong immune system will keep you safe from
various diseases and prevent you from falling sick as often. Thus, when you drink
water on an empty stomach, it helps the body in flushing and balancing the
lymphatic system, which leads to increased levels of immunity.

6. Prevents Heartburn – You suffer from heartburn when increased amounts of acidity
in your stomach, refluxes into your oesophagus. Drinking water on an empty stomach
pushes down these acids and dilutes them, thereby solving the problem and providing
a headstart for your stomach for breakfast.

Beneficial For Hair

Dehydration can have a serious impact on your hair growth. Water makes up almost
one-fourth of the weight of a hair strand. Thus, an insufficient intake of water
can your cause thin hair strands and dull, brittle hair. Drinking water on an empty
stomach can nourish your hair from inside-out, leading to shiny, smooth and healthy
hair.

Beneficial For Skin

One of the most common symptoms for dehydration is premature wrinkles and deep
pores in the skin. According to a recent study, drinking 500 ml of water on an
empty stomach increases the blood flow in your skin, making it glow. Water helps to
keep the skin clear as it helps to purge toxins from the blood.

Cures Illnesses
The therapy, if followed on a regular basis, along with your medication, can not
only help quicken the healing process but can also be a contributing factor in
preventing these diseases from occurring again. Some of the conditions that the
Japenese Water therapy has proven to cure are Constipation, Gastritis, High Blood
Pressure, Arthritis, Urinary Tract Infection (UTI), Tuberculosis, Diabetes,
Epilepsy, Body Pain, Joint Pain, Obesity, Asthma, Nausea and Vomiting, Piles, Eye
Infections, Cancer and Menstrual problems.

What Should Be Kept In Mind While Following The Japanese Water Therapy?
Too much of everything is bad. Drinking too much water in rapid succession can also
prove to be fatal and should definitely be avoided. This is because it overwhelms
the kidneys and causes a sudden drop in blood sodium levels. This drop in sodium
leads to water entering the brain, causing it to swell.

Hence, if you’re not able to drink the full amount of water required for the
Japanese Water Therapy, start off by drinking less on day one and then, gradually,
build up to four glasses. Suit your convenience.
