Good thing to know!
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.
I never knew all of this! Interesting.......
Read on:
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! Read:
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.
Subject: FW: Mayo clinic aspirin. Good
information.
Subject: Mayo Clinic on Aspirin - PASS IT
ON
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: "I have taken 2
Aspirins." - Take a seat on a chair or sofa
near the front door, make sure it’s
unlocked and wait for their arrival
and...DO NOT LIE DOWN!
