Some of this we’ve probably heard before but good reminder!
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!!
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!
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
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!
A Cardiologist has stated that if each person after receiving this
e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one life could be saved!

May your troubles be less, may your blessings be more, And may nothing
but happiness come through your door!
