Time has come to abandon the disease era of medicine. We have to concentrate on the whole human organism for the future management of altered physiologies.

“There is no science of man,” wrote Nobel Laureate Alexis Carrel in his celebrated book Man, the Unknown. Modern medicine, even today, nearly 85 years after the death of conventional science following Werner Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle, is buried in the linear science of Newtonian Physics which believes that man is made up of matter, which follows certain deterministic predictability patterns. That was before the new awareness in science of the atom having been made up of smaller sub-atomic elements. Even more earth- shattering was the discovery that atoms emit various strange energies such as X-rays and radioactivity.

water before meals helps to lose your weight

Some people like to drink water before meals but some like to drink water after meals. It is not the way always to follow personal taste and preference, though the body wants something else. Thus, our habit sometimes wants to change for the purpose of maintaining a proper health. If someone wants to lose the weight, one should drink  before meals, instead after meals. It helps to lose weight as one could not eat more.

It is possible somebody may be a diehard traditionalist or modernist. However, "Water before meals helps to lose one's weight" is explained both in Traditional Tibetan Medicine and  Modern Science.  In a publication of the Times of India dated on September 28, 2011, appeared a scientific finding " Water before meals aids weight loss". It reasons that water before meals curbs appetite and sheds weight. In a 7th century book entitled "Gyueshi" the fundamental textbook of Tibetan Medicine also mentioned, "one wants to lose weight, drink water before meals". It gives a different explanation but produces the same result. Water before meals vitiates the power of digestive heat. Once it gets weak, one could not eat more, resulting in weight loss.


 Too much weight gain or loss is a recipe for health hazard. In order to lose your excessive weight, please drink water before meals as it has mentioned both in traditional system and modern science.
