HEART ATTACKS AND WATER !

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).

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!

docky!

Yes Boss!
