Mr. Whang attributes his good health to drinking a quart of water each morning, and water during the entire day. Mr. Whang is a healthy person. A sick person should drink more water. Normally, lots of water is necessary to properly support the different body functions and to help flush the acidic elements out of the body. Mr. Whang reports that, for proper digestion, approximately 14 ounces of water should be consumed 20 minutes before meals.
Water is essential for enzymes to function properly in the digestive process.
If water isn't provided prior to digestion, the body is told to find water from other easily available resources. The immune system has easily available water but when its water resources are shared, its performance is lowered. This should be of main concern when a person needs all the strength of the immune system when dealing with an illness. Water is the common ingredient in the body and is present in every cell. Dr. Schultz, a top herbalist, mentions in his instructions, during cleaning the body with strong herbs that an ounce of water, per pound, per day is suggested.
