WATER MAY EVEN PREVENT A HEART ATTACK

  •  A cardiologist determined that heart attacks can be triggered by 
  • dehydration. Good Thing To Know. From The Mayo Clinic. How many folks do you 
    know who say they don't want to drink anything before going to bed because 
    they'll have to get up during the night?

    Heart Attack and Water - Drinking one glass of water before going to bed 
    avoids stroke or heart attack. Interesting.......

    Something else I didn't know ... I asked my Doctor why people need to 
    urinate so much at night time.

    Answer from my Cardiac Doctor: Gravity holds water in the lower part of your 
    body when you are upright (legs swell). When you lie down and
    the lower body (legs and etc.) seeks level with the kidneys, it is then that 
    the kidneys remove the water because it is easier. I knew you
    need your minimum water to help flush the toxins out of your body, but this 
    was news to me.

    Correct time to drink water... Very Important. From A Cardiac Specialist!

    Drinking water at a certain time maximizes its effectiveness on the body:
    2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs
    1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion
    1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure
    1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack

    I can also add to this... My Physician told me that water at bed time will 
    also help prevent night time leg cramps. Your leg muscles are seeking 
    hydration when they cramp  and wake you up with a Charlie Horse.
    Mayo Clinic on Aspirin - Dr. Virend Somers is a Cardiologist from the Mayo 
    clinic.
    Most heart attacks occur 
    in the day, generally between 6 A.M. and noon. Having one during the night, 
    When the heart should be most at rest, means that something  unusual 
    happened. Somers and his colleagues have been working for a decade to show 
    that sleep apnea is to blame.

    1. If you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once a day, take it at night. 
    The Reason: Aspirin has a 24-hour "half-life"; therefore, if most heart 
    attacks happen in the wee hours of the morning, the Aspirin
    would be strongest in your system.
    2. Aspirin lasts a really long time in your medicine chest; for years. (when 
    it gets old, it smells like vinegar). Please read on. Something that we can 
    do to help ourselves - nice to know. Bayer is
    making crystal aspirin to dissolve instantly on the tongue. They work much 
    faster than the tablets. Why keep Aspirin by your bedside? It's about Heart 
    Attacks - There are other symptoms of a heart attack,  besides the pain on 
    the left arm.One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well 
    as nausea and lots of sweating; however, these symptoms may also occur less 
    frequently.

    Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack. The majority 
    of people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during their sleep did not wake 
    up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake
    you up from your deep sleep. If that happens, immediately dissolve two 
    aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of water. Afterwards: - 
    Call 911. - Phone a neighbor or a family member who
    lives very close by. Say "heart attack!" - Say that you have taken 2 
    Aspirins. - Take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for 
    their arrival and ........DO NOT LIE DOWN!
