As per Ayurveda, drinking water while standing is not a good habit, while some experts say that drinking water while standing may cause pain in knee after some time. The correct way is drink water while sitting and drink slowly.

I agree with you. Our culture our traditions are our invaluable assets.
If you have faith on Ayurveda or yoga or any such Ancient therapeutic practices, go ahead. No need to look for others approval.
What is Ayurveda? It is nature and we all is part of nature. How some one can we don't believe in Ayurveda.
Ayurveda is the natural way to treat a disease, while allopathy treats disease by using some chemicals. In some cases allopathy is unable to remove disease completely, but Ayurveda works on the root cause of disease. In case of Allopathy the relief is quick, but in case of Ayurveda it works slowly with some precautions and some eating and lifestyle limitations. That's why some people prefer allopathy than Ayurveda.
It is the faith that counts.People who believe in the efficacy of Ayurveda and use the Ayurvedic products without experiencing adverse results, I don't see any reason why someone stop using Ayurvedic products.
In this connection let me tell you one example. For curing Asthma, a small fish is being swallowed. This is called 'Fish Prasadam'. This Fish h Prasadam is distributed free of cost by one Battini Brothers every year in Hyderabad. Year by year people who come from different parts of the country to take this Fish Prasadam is increasing. Why ? Because, their Asthma is being cured. Finally i say , if one is satisfied with Ayurveda products, let them go ahead.
Here is a link for Fish Prasadam for curing Asthma.

Anil, we follow some traditions because they have become a part of our life in spite of not having any scientific validity. At the same time traditions and customs a,way if life and it depends on individual and communities to either follow them or leave them or at times improvise depending on the demands of the present day needs..

Any deed which is part of life is self proved. But some person here is saying that we follow only those deed which are proved by modern science.

My opinion is if some thing is good for you, and you are benefited and no damage whatsoever did happen, going ahead is the wise way. Simply because some member insisted a scientific proof for the efficacy of Ayurveda, it doesn't mean they should blindly follow Ayurveda. If they are suspecting the efficacy of Ayurveda, let them find out a Scientific proof. That's their concern.

Customs and traditions are different and health care is different.One cannot come to a conclusion regarding this without substantial proof. An oft spoken lie too can become a truth with time, so also some blind beliefs , which when thoroughly analysed , fail the test...
The funny part is that nowhere in Ayurveda, not blogs based on Ayurveda written by individual champions, has it been mentioned that one should not drink water while standing..it is unfair to blame Ayurveda for all the superstitious believes individuals have become accustomed to like this particular one.
"While we stand and drink water water flows easily and in great volume. This creates an impact on the lower stomach walls. If the practice is continues, Kidneys will be damaged."
Above was your justification for advocating not drinking water while standing. I have requested you to substantiate it scientifically which you have avoided and diverted to Ayurveda etc argument. I gave scientific reason as to how water will not rush down because of the way food pipe operates as a regulator and kidneys are outside stomach how will they get affected if water is taken in standing. Please throw light on these and do not bring extraneous issues.
That is the problem. You make statements left and right and when asked for proof take cover under excuse of I am entitled to my opinion. You are, but in a forum others are not dumb. They want to understand better the statements made by you in support of the thread. The least you can do is to accept it was a wrong statement. Do not make it an ego issue. Rest I leave it to your conscience.
