Dr. Arzu Akgyul, specialist in internal medicine and nephrology, told the Turkish edition of Sözcü that water plays an important role in the fight against many diseases, including COVID-19, writes "RIA News".
He emphasized that water is the main tool for regulating metabolic processes in the body, as well as delivering nutrients to cells and removing waste from vital processes.
Water, as the doctor recalled, provides the elimination of toxins, regulates body temperature, as well as blood density. Otherwise, toxins accumulate in the blood. As a result, a person may develop urolithiasis or kidney failure.

“Drinking enough water every day helps to remove toxins from the body, neutralize bacteria and viruses,” he stressed.
