WHAT
IS THE BEST DRINK?
Water, said somebody, is the best drink for a gentleman. It is
not only the necessity of the human body but is also full of health advantages.
First of all it quenches your thirst harmlessly. Moreover, it purifies the
body, improves digestion, regulates temperature, prevents dehydration,
maintains proper blood circulation, is joints, eyes and brain friendly.
Check the quality of water before you drink it. It must have
no impurities, otherwise it will damage your liver, kidneys and lungs. Boil it
to make it cleaner.
Plain water is better than with some kind of content.
However, black, green and herbal teas have some additional
advantages in certain diseases.
Alcohol is better shunned than adopted. Its disadvantages outnumber than its
advantages. It causes numerous health
problems concerning liver, kidney, heart, lungs and brain. It also enhances
cancer risk .
Look at the following popular quotes on drinking alcohol:
i).The first
draught serveth for health, the second for pleasure, the third for shame, and
the fourth for madness.
ii). The
Japanese say: “A man takes a drink, then the drink takes the man.
iii). The barroom
as a bank: You deposit your money -–and lose it; your time--- and lose it; your
character ----and lose it; your manly independence ----and lose it; your home
comfort ---- and lose it; your self control ---and lose it; your children’s
happiness ---and lose it; your own soul---and lose it.
iv). In the
bottle, discontent seeks for comfort; cowardice, for courage; bashfulness, for
confidence; sadness for joy; and all find ruin!
To conclude, if unavoidable, drink a
little in a celebration, and call it enough.
