Guillaume Belanger's Reviews > Your Body's Many Cries for Water

Dr. Batmanghelidj is an Iranian medical doctor working in the US. He was a political prisoner for some time and discovered by chance the amazing healing properties of water through his treatment of fellow prisoners by the only means available to him: drinking water.

This is a very important book as it explains in great detail the physiological effects of dehydration. I find it so important, in fact, that I have written three articles about water on my blog: Water, ageing and disease, Why we should drink water before meals and How much salt, how much water, and our amazing kidneys.

Although I personally find it very important to understand why, if you don't, then the long and short of it is simple: drink plenty of pure water throughout the day and on an empty stomach.
