    ~~For belly fat:: No sugar, and Low to No carbohydrates. ~~Eat “brown” Basmati rice and use 100% whole wheat (wholemeal) flour. ~~For good health:: No vegetable seed oils(“no” Canola, Corn, Soy, Sunflower, Safflower, Grapeseed, Cottonseed, & Rice Bran oils), and always drink a warm~hot drink along with eating meals. ~~Look up:: Keto (Ketogenic) Diet, and also Ketosis & Ketones for losing belly fat weight.

    True...8 glasses per day is good nevertheless, studies were conducted in the 1940s. Nowadays, many health experts also advise drinking when you are thirsty as well. The reason is, that consuming water does not mean replacing electrolytes, in fact dilutes quite an amount of sodium. You may drink 8 glasses of water per day yet do it intermittently, reducing its frequency (Dr Eric Berg)...Let's keep ourselves healthy!

    Check your sodium level ,before you drink 65 Oz a day,because if you have low sodium you need to drink only when your thirsty ,it is important to limit your liquid intakes because having problem with low sodium is dangerous too, besides the medicare only pay the sodium tablets,but if the doctor prescribed you a powered sodium is to expensive it cost 95 cents per packet and the doctor will advice you 2 to 3 packet of Ure- Na.some patient can recovered and stabilize their sodium level if he followed the strict liquid intake ,you will have seizure problem,tremor problem balance problem,and you always feel weak

We would have consulted 25 doctors at least across all types of medicines ( allopathy, siddha, homeopathy, psychiatric, ayurvedic anything you name it) I don’t have my father. He passed away due to cancer. I fear I am losing my mom as well. All her reports come back with mild acidity mostly. But she is not able to get through the day without pain/bloating or difficulty in breathing as whatever it is, it makes her restless. Please help 🙏🏻

    This is not true. Many ppl are dehydrated internally which can cause heart problems. Some ppl are also naturally thin so this pinch test does not work.
