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 - I never knew all of this! 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.
This then ties in with the last statement!
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 Aspirin Dr.
Virend Somers is a Cardiologist from the Mayo Clinic, who is lead author of the
report in the July 29, 2008 issue of the Journal of the American College of
Cardiology.
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. FYI, 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!
