As soon as I wake up in the morning, I drink 2 glasses of water and eat about 1 third of a pineapple. I do not eat any before lunch. Our intestine is 27 feet long. When I drink water and eat pineapple on an empty stomach is like washing and brushing my intestine. As a result, I do not have constipation and I have no difficulty in expelling faeces from my body.

I have been following this regime in the last 20 or more years and I do not have any sickness during this period of time.

I have inherited a high cholesterol problem, called hypercholesterolemia from my mother who died at 39 years old when I was only 10 years old. All my siblings who inherited this blood disease also died around 50 years old. In 1983 I had a heart attack when I was 50 years old. I had a heart bypass surgery done in London. At that time, only Mayor Clinic in USA and Harley Street Clinic, London could do the open-heart surgery. After my heart surgery, my surgeon told me that with this inherited blood disease, my heart would be blocked again soon. He could not open up my heart again to do the bypass surgery and I would die. You must change your lifestyle and diet to prolong your life.

I am still alive and I am nearly 89 years old.  

About 2 years ago, my old friend Dr Jena passed away. At the wake, his son in law Dr Dav Teo Cin Nee who is a Geriatrician asked me how could I be so healthy. A Geriatrician is a specialist in elder health care and psychological care. I told him about my drinking water and eating pineapple. He said that I could not get sick because I have been eating medicine every day. Pineapple has a lot of medical value. Moreover, I drink more water than I really require.  

The body relies on water to remain in a functioning condition. If you don’t drink water for 3-5 days you’ll die, but what happens when you only drink water as your primary beverage without changing your usual diet?  

Health Benefits of Drinking more Water

Your Mental Creativity and Performance Will be Boosted
When you drink a little more water than you really required, your brain will start to react faster. Since the brain needs tons of oxygen to operate efficiently, and water is a great source of oxygen, your brainpower will be boosted, helping you think and focus better. Furthermore, it also makes you keen, quick, and clever. Ingesting 8-10 cups of water each day can improve your cognitive performance by as much as 30%.
You’ll Age More Slowly Than Your Peers

Drinking water helps to decelerate the aging process by keeping your skin adequately hydrated. It moisturizes your skin, keeping it soft, plump, glowing, and wrinkle-free. It also helps to maintain muscle tone. To get these benefits, you must consume pure water.

In an article published by the Daily Mail, a 42-year-old woman managed to make herself appear ten years younger in just 30 days by drinking just water. She started by drinking three litters of water a day to overcome her long-standing headaches and poor digestion dilemma. After only a month, she was absolutely stunned by the results. Both of her problems were resolved, and she fully recovered from the effects of chronic dehydration. She said that “I genuinely can’t believe the difference in my face. I look like a different woman. The dark shadows around my eyes have all but disappeared and the blotches have gone. My skin is almost as dewy as it was when I was a child. The transformation is nothing short of remarkable. I’m feeling leaner and fitter, too, which is amazing, since the only thing I’ve changed is the amount of water I drink.”

Your Immunity Will be Strengthened
A Slovakian proverb says “pure water is the world’s first and foremost medicine” and this is no exaggeration. Water acts as a catalyst for the renewal of optimal body functions. Drinking adequate amount of water supports the performance of your kidneys and liver. These organs help to eliminate toxic substances from your body.

You’ll Have a Stronger Heart: Water decreases the threat of a heart attack by preventing your blood from thickening and by lowering your blood pressure. One glass of water an hour before bed is said to prevent a heart attack or stroke. It makes it easier for the heart to send freshly oxygenated blood to your vital organs. The American Journal of Epidemiology published a six-year study that found that people who consumed more than five glasses of water a day were 41% less likely to die from a heart attack than those who drank fewer than two glasses a day.

Your Bones will be Strengthened Water helps to rebuild shock absorber cartilage, so your joints can move smoothly, curtailing joint damage triggered by tension. Testimonies give evidence that joint flexibility improves with adequate water consumption.

You’ll Lose Fat
When you drink only water for 30 days, your body removes irritable and harmful waste products from your vital organs. This makes your body cleaner and helps to trim body fat.  In the beginning, an increase in weight could become a concern as your body might retain water before adjusting to the higher intake consumption. Water acts as an appetite suppressant, so drinking one or two glasses of water before a meal will mean that you eat less. Consuming water at regular intervals throughout the day will assist with your weight management.

Your Metabolism Will be Enhanced

Studies suggest that consistently drinking water every day stimulates a more dynamic metabolism, regardless of your diet. Consuming two cups of water just after you wake up increases your metabolism by 24% according to the Health Fitness Revolution.
