Cold warm water should be drunk. What water is better to drink: warm or cold

***
Drinking water with soda is perhaps the most famous way in the people of the organism.
It's really very simple and effective method Reduce acid load.
But as practice shows, often people who are interested in an alkaline recovery system are missed by the very important nuance of such drinking - the need to drink soda, divorced precisely in warm-hot water.
Miss, start drinking soda with cold water (Or albeit not cold, and room temperature - there is no special difference), and suddenly get a problem from such a drink. The problem with the stomach. For it is for the stomach of soda is a very ambiguous product. And I have to constantly tell people about the need to drink soda only with warm water. Or rather even warm-hot, i.e. a little more than 40 degrees.

Before talking about soda, it is necessary to clarify the question as much as possible about the water. More precisely - about drinking water. For drinking water is one of the foundations of health.
Thanks to the respected Dr. F. Batmangheeliju, for this period of time almost all people interested in health issues are aware of chronic dehydration and the need for daily drinking simple water. Of course - non-filled, for boiled water is not biologically active water. Actually, even our usual tap, incipicated water is not contained, and the body has to spend energy on its structuring, and boiled water in this sense is quite "dead".
Boiled water undoubtedly has the value in that it allows us to receive useful infants - teas, compotes, broths, etc. But heavily boiled water - almost useless ...

So. Water is simple, inciphesiated. Of course - pure (filtered or bottled)

Disputes about the number of daily water norms still do not subside, but about the fact that it is necessary to drink it every day, no one argues. It's already as an axiom healthy image Life and axiom of natural, disconnecting cure.
So, to the greatest regret, the nuance of the temperature of this water completely fell out of the attention of almost all researchers. At least I have not met this information in any of the numerous books dedicated to the water.
And to start this conversation follows from the very basis - with the reasons why you actually need to drink water.

Why do we drink water?

A strange question, isn't it? :)
Even as if the ear cuts :)
It seems some kind of unnatural :)
And the answer to this question is how it will be: drinking water simply because I want. I want to drink - drink. And that's it ...
But unfortunately, as reality shows, ignorate to answer this question gives rise to a whole range of hidden problems that may have a variety of negative consequences, right up to fatal - if, say, a person has internal predispositions (in particular, the specific position of the stomach is about More details will be told below) ...

Therefore, at least once in life above this question, it is worth thinking and realizing the answer to it.

So, we drink water primarily in order to maintain the basis of all biochemical processes in the body.

All biochemical processes in our body in terms of chemistry are "reactions in aqueous solution."
There is such a section in chemistry. And that's all that in our body is happening (and not only in our, but also in any other living organism on the planet) - refers precisely to this section. Even what is happening in the bones, although the bones seem to be solid ...

Water is the basis of all life processes. And accordingly, it should be exactly as much as it is necessary in order for all reactions to go fine.
If the water begins not enough, it means that there is dehydration and "warranting" of all environments, then you mean a thickening. Consequently, all reactions slow down, or even stop.
And then wait for trouble, because firstly, the inevitable consequence of any stagnant process, as is known, is the process of inflammatory, and secondly, the inevitable consequence of any stagnant process is the rapid development of pathogenic microflora, which will then be a very serious factor in the destruction of health.

And so that for all reactions occurring in the body, there was enough "space", or at least just "places", we need water.
And since we are constantly losing it with all sorts of discharge, it must be fill in the simplest, convenient and fast way. drink.

The next key point here is how water falls into the body and fills all liquid media - blood, intercellular fluid, lymph, etc.

At first glance - through the stomach, because it is where the water falls when drinking it.
But it turns out at all and no!
Here, we all have a completely fatal gap in knowledge !!!

Biologists, biologists, physiologists, physiologists this moment, of course, know, but for some reason this information is still not reaching the masses. But this we should know how our five fingers as a table of multiplication, as the letters of the native language ...
So, it turns out, the main place where the water is absorbed into the blood to replenish the loss of fluid - in the intestine!
Not in the stomach!
Of course, the water in the stomach is also absorbed, but it is not the main place where the main replenishment of water is coming in all liquid media, since the water in the stomach absorbed acidified (for there is an acidic medium, in the stomach), or rather - sour salty ( For g there are hydrochloric acid), and such water - sour-salty - has a different action, which will be described in detail below.
If we say precisely on the replenishment of the basics of biochemical reactions, the basics of life is only in the intestines occurs in an alkaline intestinal environment.
Consequently, the stomach of the water should be "slipping" if possible!

And therefore, the water that we drink should correspond to this purpose - the goal of a speedy hit in the intestine, without a long delay in the stomach.

Gastric secrets :)

So, they found out: the stomach we should, if possible, slip faster.
So you need to find out how it is best to do?
And for this, we need to explore this angle of view itself the stomach itself.

If we look at the stomach, we will see that it is located in two planes - at the entrance vertically, and at the exit - almost horizontally:

Thus, the contents of the stomach comes out of it almost horizontally:

And regulates this output of the sphincter, called the "gastrik of the stomach" or the "pyloric sphincter".
While the food was not warmed up (if cold) and was not treated with hydrochloric acid, which the stomach distinguishes, the "gatekeeper" is closed.
As soon as food is fully warmed up and processed - the "gatekeeper" opens and the food cashet (Himus) opens into the small intestine (and specifically - in the duodenum), where the digestive process itself begins itself.

It is important for us to note this temperature point.
If the stomach is a strong guy, the temperature drops are not particularly critical to it (in reasonable limits, Essesenna :)), then here is the duodenum - the lady is very sophisticated ... This is already a real chimlaborator, where everything should be strictly complying with the standards, of which the temperature is the lowest.

Move on.
If we look at the stomach, we note that along its left wall (called the "small curvature of the stomach") fibers are very long, and are located so that they seek such a "chute" - a kind of channel, a pipe (in various anatomical satin atlas, I I saw an illustration where this "channel" is expressed even more clearly than here, and it looks like a cross-cutting tube directly - from the entrance of the stomach to the exit)

And in the depths of the stomach, i.e. Along its right wall (called a scientific "large curvature of the stomach"), the fibers are mostly short and there are no such direct and pass-to-end paths.

And that's what we have here.
If what is included in the stomach do not need to digest and do not warm, it literally skipping the stomach along this very "gastric groove".

And the "gatekeeper" does not interfere with this slip, because everything is observed: it is not necessary to digest, do not warm.

The only substance that can get into us, which is not needed to digest, is water. And if the second condition is observed - it is not necessary to warm - then the water does immediately slip across the pylorial sphincter in the alkaline medium of the twelve-day intestine, where it is immediately absorbed into the blood (which we also have, as you know, alkaline by itself), ignorant All biochemical processes of the body.

But if this second parameter is not respected, and the water temperature is below the last 37-39 degrees, then the "gatekeeper" is severely closed and "does not sequate" water further ...

And here the water stands in the stomach until it gets warm.

And while she stands there, something happens to her. And this "Something" so radically changes the picture that as a result we have this very "bich of civilization" - chronic dehydration - which scientifically described the doctor Batmangheelidge.

What happens to water in the stomach?

If the volume of drinking water is small, and the water is bought on an empty stomach, then in principle nothing special happens.
The walls of the stomach from a small volume are not stretched.
Therefore, there are no signals for the allocation of a significant amount of hydrochloric acid in the stomach.
It stands out in a very small amount, for the water is not distilled, they still have some "irritating components" there.
So, the water calmly stands there for 10-15 minutes, and it will take place in the duodenum, giving the body what should give.

But if hydrochloric acid is present in the stomach in more serious concentration, then the situation changes radically.

What are the reasons for hydrochloric acid concentration in the stomach may be more substantial?

First, the process of digestion can go in the stomach (even small, say, 10 minutes ago you stop chewing a chewing gum, or half an hour ago you ate a pie, a bun or an hour ago ate sandwich).
Secondly, with a more or less tangible volume of water, the stomach is purely mechanically stretched, which is one of the signals to the beginning of the digestive process, and a hydrochloric acid is excreted accordingly.
Thirdly, a person can simply be increased acidity Stomach, i.e. There is always quite a lot of hydrochloric acid present.

And what happens here in this case?

First, the water is acidified with hydrochloric acid, it begins to digest and absorbed.

And it turns out, according to the known nutritionist and nutritiologist O. Khazova, water, digested by the stomach, mainly goes not to extracellular liquid (blood, intercellular fluid, lymph, etc.), and in intracellular fluid, as a result of which the cells simply " Wake up "and we have a swelling of fabrics.

In fact, the mechanism for the formation of a swelling in classical gastroenterology is not entirely unambiguously interpreted.
For example, the version is more common here - the effect of cold water on the kidneys.
Cold water being in the stomach, cools the kidneys and kidneys (very sensitive to heat), begin to work more slowly, worse adjust the electrolytic balance. As a result - swelling.

In short, what kind of hypothesis were neither the fact that the sour-salty water leads to their edema is simply an obviousness that we and without scientific research We know on everyday experience.
To do this, it is enough just to remember how it happens when we are too much in a drink of some kind of sour salt drink, say, brine from salty cucumbers or tomatoes?
I remember in the old days in almost every soviet family There were such cans with salting, and the people, especially ... Mmm ... with a hangover, a very affair practiced - drink this bridel.
Ohhh, Kaak Zhizh he quenched thirst, if ... mmmm ... From Bokuna, you stand so morning ... Boy-Bo's head :)))
Fucking a Rassoluege ... Ahhh ... Sexual :) vain still ... well, very good :)
And then you look in the mirror, and there is such a row :)))

Swim the body from the bridal. It swells precisely because such an acid-salt water goes precisely into intracellular fluid, i.e. in swelling.

An equally illustrative point in this regard is the famous procedure for cleaning the entire gastrointestinal tract with Shank-Prakhasalana, the famous yoga.
The essence of the methodology is: it drinks a glass of water and through 4 exercises is driven throughout gastrointestinal. Then another glass of water - and again 4 exercises. And so a few glasses.

Mandatory condition is the use of precipitate water due to the fact that it is poorly absorbed by the intestine.

Why badly absorbed? And because such water is almost coincided with blood in its density. There is no potential difference, due to which the so-called "osmotic pressure" does not occur.
And when the water in the intestine is unsalted, it turns on this very law of osmosis, and simple water is absorbed into salted blood.

So, the conclusion is: than longer than water standing in the stomach, the less it will fall into the blood (and in general in extracellular fluids).
Therefore, it will not be a sense of it already, for "sense" in this case is the saturation of the blood of blood (and the entire extracellular fluid)!
Moreover, from such water, we can have a negative effect in the form of edema.
This is, as they say, clinical fact ...

Why we don't know about it school lessons biology ???
Sad straight even ...

But that is not all.

There is another interesting (and no less significant) moment.
It is asked: where does the energy take on the warming of this water?
Explicitly not from the outside - otherwise we would drink warm water :)

It turns out that water is heated by the energy of the surrounding stomach organs, and especially the kidneys.
That is how the sources of Chinese medicine say.
It is the kidneys that warm water in the stomach.
Stomach - hollow organ. He has no heat. But the "dense" organs have its own energy and their heat.
Actually, the word "liver" itself comes from the word "furnace" or "stove", which in itself speaks of heat release.
So, I think the liver is also involved here, also spends its energy to heating this water, "stuck" in the stomach ...
In short, even though the kidneys, even the liver - we still spend the energy of our own, relatively and expensive internal organs.
What for? Is it not better to spend the external energy - click the button on the kettle and get water to half a minute ...

When we drink water heat-hot, it not only fills the very basis of life, but also warms the body, i.e. It saves us the energy that we constantly spend on maintaining the laid temperature of the internal media.

That's it...

But it turns out, and this is not all ...

It turns out that there are various positions of the stomach, which themselves can exacerbate the entire situation described in themselves.

The reasons for the occurrence of all these deviations from the norm is a set. We will not discuss them here - this is on the line of visceral chiropractors goes ....
It is easy to understand that if, due to some reasons, a person has such a provistent stomach, then in this "bag" even warm water and it is stuffed. And cold there is so long that at the exit we have a very acidic and very salty fluid, from which there will be no sense, some edema ...

But when a person with such a stomach drinks heat hot water, then, at least bring the body to the body that warms the organs, heats them, which, for example, for the cold season of the year - even indeed direct health benefits.

And now about soda

And after the whole of this picture, we can easily understand why people who have carefully read the materials of my site, and started drinking soda, sometimes get a stomach problem.

So, cold water Soda "freezes" in the stomach.

And here there are the following options.

If the stomach is completely healthy, the acidity is normal, then the environment is there as already mentioned above, neutral.
Well, except for a slightly sour ...
And then soda water, warmingly, will be held in the duodenum and safely absorbed there.
Neutralization of soda acid will happen well, the most minimal and no noticeable processes will not be place.

But if at the above reasons, the acidity in the stomach is increased, and the volume of water is relatively large (for each stomach, of course, this is a different value), then hydrochloric acid immediately enters with soda to the reaction, with the formation of salt and coalic acid. Coalic acid is very weak, an extremely unstable compound, so it immediately disintegrates carbon dioxide and water:

NaHCO3 + HCl\u003e NaCl + H2CO3

H2CO3\u003e H2O + CO2 ^

You can see this reaction, you can see this reaction if you add to the glass with soda of acetic acid - it turns out a "hype drink".

By the way, if the concentration of soda in a glass is high enough, and the acid is very concentrated, then it will not be just a hype drink, but a straight eruption of a volcano :) a rather active reaction.

So...
This bundled carbon dioxide comes into contact with the walls of the stomach, annoying these walls. Space is closed, there is nowhere to go to Gaza, and that's it on the walls, he and beats.

I met in the literature even the term "attacks" on the walls of the stomach ...

Protecting from this "attack", the stomach also produces a portion of acid (and how can it still be defended? Salonic acid is the only thing that he has).
This portion of acid immediately joins the same reaction with highlighting carbon dioxide.
Consequently - again a new portion of carbon dioxide "attacks" ...
Well, here is such a cycle, which in the medical literature is called an "acid ricochet".

All interested in the alkaline system, I recommend to remember this term well, for any doctor (especially - a gastroenterologist), as soon as he hears about Soda, immediately begins to frowish his hands, knocking his legs, creak teeth, saying that the drinking soda launches this very " Acid ricochet ", which means to drink soda harmful.

Well, so, the "acid ricochet" occurs only when non-compliance temperature mode Soda reception.
Those. It is just a consequence of human inattention.

"Acid ricochet" is a special case of rod of soda, and physicians, not knowing all that we have described here about water, give this particular case for the general rule ...
It is not right.
It is just a consequence of ignorance.

By the way, the danger of this phenomenon is an "acid ricochet" - exists only for the stomach of the patient or predisposed to the disease.
Let's say if a person has a peptic process, then yes, this "ricochet" will increase an ulcer.
If there is no ulcers, but there is an erosive process in the stomach walls, then the "ricochet" will affect the development of this erosive process.
Well, and so on - any problem in the stomach will be strengthened.
If the stomach is normal, healthy, then no danger of this "acid ricochet" does not represent.
It is even less dangerous than a glass of any hip drink, which we drink without even thinking, some such drink almost daily.
And about the cola - and it is silent! Cola - guaranteed more destructive for the stomach drink, than even soda water with ice :)

By the way, any "Yazvennik" knows perfectly well that for him all effervescent drinks - under the full ban. And, of course, any gastroenterologist knows that, so, to allocate soda water here and pump fear is completely inadequate.

When soda water was warmed and finally passed into the duodenum, it is no longer an alkaline drink.
This is just water.
Accordingly, waiting for those effects that are described in the book on the alkaline system, it is useless.

Yes, of course, just water is very good, it is needed the body. But too costly way :)))

When we drink the soda water heat-hot, it is safely slipping the stomach, and enters the duodenum, where the medium is alkaline by definition. There is alkali - as a native (for bile, which is thrown by a gall bubble exactly here, is generally the alkaline substance of our body, and the digestion itself goes precisely in an alkaline environment, more precisely - weakly alkaline)

And there, this alkaline water rich in negatively charged ions is absorbed into the blood, saturating it with these heon and enhanced bicarbonate blood buffer - which, in fact, is the goal of drinking alkaline water.

That is, alkaline water except for the water to the water - the quantitative restoration of the base of all biochemical processes of the organism - gives us a high-quality aspect: dilutes blood, makes it easier, fluid, and, accordingly, more penetrating ...
Erythrocytes, and body tissue begin to work in such a blood, and the body tissue begin to be better supplied with oxygen ...
In general, there are many utility here, about which it is narrated in the book of the Center / Locker - and for digestion, and for the isolation, and for blood supply, and for the nervous system (for, thanks again, thanks to Batmangheeli, he described how well the brain is sensitive to dehydration And as far as our mental states depend on normal water balance brain).

Total we have that any drink, any food better is heated.
Even if we are on raw food.
As you know, heating raw food up to 40 degrees does not destroy alive fabrics. But to digest all this will be much better and with less energy costs.

From this point of view, the American fashion is completely wild on ice drinks.
Well, we see as far as the Americans are a degenerate nation.
But here are the Chinese all these chips know, and they have a much healthier nation ...
So in this regard, we do not take an example from amerikosov, and we take with Chinese :)))

Well, in relation to the alkaline system, this moment is simply archiving! Arch!

I have already developed this on the machine - if a person says that he was flooded with the reception of soda, the first thing I ask, what kind of water drink? Cold or hot?
In the overwhelming majority of cases, a person says that drinks with ordinary water, room temperature.
Either - the second reason is not an empty stomach, i.e. I could not withstand the time interval after meals (for the usual, not excessive meal is the hour of Ceraz two-layers and a half, when the food lump has already passed the "sour" digestive digestion and is in the phase of "alkaline" digestion in the duodenum)
Well, finally, the third most prevalence is the reason - not compliance with the dosage. You need to start literally with a 1/5 teaspoon on a glass. Then - 1/4, etc. And the people happen like a teaspoon immediately and then lies in the bend ...

So, if you practice an alkaline system, then these moments need to know well and always remember.

When we do not drink soda (for soda need to drink not constantly, but as needed), then we still need to drink water if we want to help our body to survive in such an unfavorable environmental environment. Consequently, all this, too, must be remembered and applied in practice.

Practical moments

At first, such an alignment with drinking water causes tension ...

Well, how to organize all this?

Plus, of course, a conflict with a habit of habit, which has been rooted for anything like a lot of life!

For those who work in offices, usually problems with warm water No - the coolers are now standing in almost every office.
If there is no cooler, then the most simple and optimal solution to the solution of this issue is a thermos.
Thermos are now all sorts of full, including quite aesthetic externally, so you can enter any entourage ...

If a large liter thermos will not fit into this office entourage, you can buy two small half-liters.
One stands on the table (it is desirable that there is a thermos before the eyes, otherwise all this business is instantly forgotten in the fuss of the working day), the other in the bag. When the first ended, he is cleaned into the bag, and the second the same thermos goes on the table - externally nothing will notice.

For those who spend a lot of time in the car, you can also have a liter thermos (of course - iron).

By the way, about thermos

If you open this top cover, then we will see the plugs. And these plugs are "complex" and "simple".

"Complex" cork - usually either consists of some two or three parts, or there is one part, but the complex-composite, say, with the button by clicking which you can pour water from the thermos, without unscrewing the entire "tube". Or like this of this thermos in the figure below - when you need to unscrew the entire plug, but only its part (white).

Well, as practice shows, with all external convenience, more reliable and durable are thermoses with a simple plug.

Better hold.

And I'm in the morning I pick up such a thermos of heat-hot water, sometimes I sometimes add a pinch of soda for easy alkalization, I put the thermos to my desktop and drinking through the day.
Sometimes two thermoses of such drinking in passing ...

We go further - to organize a warm water is not so difficult, but, as practice shows, a much more serious obstacle is a taste aspect, because hot water has a different taste, rather than cold, and taste receptors at the beginning can arrange a "riot" - especially Those people who really love to drink simple water.
Of course, it's more complicated here, and here I can only propose at first alternate drinking warm and ordinary water - i.e. split drinking for use and drink for taste :)

We can do anything, all this is so important that all these aspects have to be destroyed.
Water is really the basis of life on the physical plane, therefore in this matter it will be necessary to go to the end - changing habits, including taste ...

As my experience person shows, and the experience of many of my clients is a question is quite solved. Gradually get used to drinking hot water and it becomes the same habit as it used to be cold. Gradually, the body is so accustomed that even in the heat with pleasure takes warm water. He is actually smart, our organism is, we simply teach him forcibly from childhood to stupidity, inspire that this stupidity is normal. And he is forced to take it ...

Moreover, it is important to note that all these wisdoms do not mean some categorical ban on cold water.
Not at all.
Periodically, I myself, especially in hot time, with pleasure I drink cool water, but at it I clearly understand that now I drink purely for pleasure, and in terms of health, this is a drink no matter how counting.

Similarly, there is no something completely fatal in drinking a glass of soda water room temperature.
I myself saw in the TV program Malakhov, the story of one woman, which soda cured from very serious - deadly disease and since then for many years regularly drinks soda regularly.
And how drinks!
Takes a spoonful of soda, puts it in the mouth and drinks water temperature.
I saw - stuck ...
And nothing, aunty - Bedrychik! Says - It's all by Okay in terms of health.

Of course, there is some kind of successful coincidence of many factors (for example, it may well have a hypertensive stomach, which is much more resistant to the phenomenon of the acid ricochet and from which the contents are much faster than usual), it may have some kind of trickle regulation of secretory The activity of the stomach, in short, the stomach has exactly non-standard, for such an option to receive soda for the usual standard stomach is just very dangerous ...
But nevertheless, we see that if this kind of things happens infrequently, then nothing terrible from them will not be.
The main thing is to drink soda with cold water not becoming the norm.

Here is such a split.

With soda or without soda - water for health is better to drink heated.

And there will be a clum :)

Everyone knows that for good health And we definitely need to drink clean water. There are recommendations regarding water drinking time, its quality, add different ingredients (for example, lemon, honey, ginger, etc.) that help run the digestion process, lose weight and strengthen immune system. What water is better to drink - warm or cold? How much does the fluid temperature affect its benefit for the body?

What kind of water is better to drink from the point of view of ancient medicine?

Traditional chinese medicine Throughout the millennium, it does not welcome the use of cold water, justifying this by the fact that cold water has a compressive and slowing effect. And warm water favorably affects the state of the internal organs and improves blood circulation.

Ayurveda and traditional Chinese medicine agree that it is better to drink warm water.

For the same reasons, Ayurveda prefers warm water. Modern medicine gradually confirms the truthfulness of many ancient medical convictions, but our lifestyle has changed significantly compared to long time, so the question of best temperature Water for the body remains open.

Benefits of warm water for the body

To understand what kind of water it is better to drink, consider the advantages of warm and cold water in turn for the body. Looking in advance, let's say that they have more warm, so I will begin with the advantages of warm water:

Digestion. Did you ever think about why we used to drink warm - coffee or tea as morning drinks? Of course, caffeine plays a considerable role in this choice, however, according to Ayurvedic medicine, a warm drink stimulates digestion. And to give preference to a glass of warm water instead of coffee immediately after waking up, it is precisely because the latter in the end deprives the organism of the necessary fluid.

Detox. When it comes to cleansing the body from harmful substances, there is nothing better than drinking warm water in sufficient quantities. Water room temperature with the addition of lemon juice stimulates digestion and helps to remove toxins. Also good assistants in the detox will be the leaves of fresh mint and finely sliced \u200b\u200bcucumber rings, ginger and cinnamon.

Pain relief. If you are struggling with headache or inflammation, it is better to make a choice in favor of warm water, because it stimulates blood flow to the tissues. In addition, water room temperature is better suitable in the case of menstrual pain.

Elimination of constipation. The main reason for constipation is the lack of fluid. And it is better to fill it with warm water, which, unlike cold, has a soothing effect on the intestines.

In addition, it is believed that warm water has both an expectorant effect, so it is recommended to drink when nasal and cough.

Advantages of cold water for the body:

The best choice after training. Since during intensive physical Loads The temperature of the body increases, it is cold (but not icy) water to reduce it.

Helps in the heat. With a thermal impact or simply after a walk under the scorching sun, it is better to cool up a glass of fresh water, which will help the body to "cool" after exposure to high temperatures.

What kind of water is better to drink - cold or warm?

Based on the foregoing, it can be concluded that in most situations it is better to drink precipitating water, the temperature of which is approximately equal to the room. This is especially important for the digestive process.

The fact is that cold water, drunk after meals, significantly complicates the process of food digestion (especially fat). Also, the body has to spend energy to warming water, which is also negatively reflected in the digestive process.

However, a very important factor is the temperature ambient. On a hot working day, while resting on the beach or long-term stay in the sun is a logical and right choice will be cold water. The same is true for time after training.

In general, what water is better to drink - warm or cold - it is better to solve, based on concrete circumstances. On an empty stomach, before meal and after meals, the advantage is given to water room temperature, in other cases it is worth listening to their body and give it a fluid that he asks.
