MAYO CLINIC - DRINKING WATER

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 ... 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.

Adding to this... A friends Physician told her 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 who is the 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. 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!
