Ancient Remedy 11 November 2008
Feroz Nainar, Consultant Psychiatrist South Birmingham PCT Send response to journal: Re: Ancient Remedy	I was quite interested in the findings by Maruyama et al. From an Islamic point of view, the advice that is given in the Islamic Scriptures is 1. Eat when hungry and stop eating when hungry 2. Fill the stomach with 1/3 food, 1/3 water and 1/3 air 3. Drink water before and during eating but not after eating Could this be a remedy for the obesity epidemic? Competing interests: None declared
