Water

WATER very interesting!!!

 

Water and Aspirin...

 

 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 ... 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.  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 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 – 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!

 

 A Cardiologist has stated that if each person after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one life could be saved!  I have already shared this information. What about you?  Do forward this message.  It may save lives!

 

 "Life is a one-time gift" (Let's forward and hope this will help save some!!!)

I know I drink a lot of water already. At least 3 liters a day sometimes 4 and half plus 2 cups of coffee and one cup of coca cola.

I know and understand how important drinking water is for yourself and your body. I just find it difficult at times, possibly lazy on my behalf. I most likely have enough fluids per day, but plain water maybe not.

I dont think you only have to drink water. Iced tea should also be alright a it is mostly water. I would think almost anything that helps to hydrate you will work/help.

When I went home for the operation at the beginning of the year, the surgeon told me I should be drinking 2 litre of water per day. It would be for sure more in a climate like Cambodia.

I'm under the impression you are talking unsweetened iced tea, John? I only drink sweetened iced tea, but I don't make a habit of drinking a lot of it. Chan will prepare 2 to 3 liters of it, maybe once per week. (It may be less frequent than that, actually.)

When I was stateside back in 2014-2015 for those few months, I built up a supply of LARGE plastic takeaway cups offered by restaurants ~1.1 Liters (40 oz). I brought back, oh, 12 or more of them. I only drink from them while at home. Anything less is really just a waste of my time. (A few local restaurants cater to me as well, by providing larger mugs / glasses to drink from, while dining.) Anyway, Chan will typically fill those cups with ice and water, half a cup full of frozen Royal D, and add liquid Royal D to it, or sweet iced tea and ice. 

 

I will drink, over the course of 24 hours, 10 to 12 of those cups full of any of the above drinks. I have consumed large amounts of liquids for years, as far back as I can remember. (A waitress at a Carey Hilliard's restaurant in Savannah, once counted the number of ~24 centiliters (8oz) glasses of sweet tea I drank. 8 was the magic number, during one meal. That's 1.89 Liters (1/2 gallon US), that I consumed regularly, as a boy.) If I drink any less than that through the day, I feel as dry as a desert.

Coke is just as bad as sweet tea, I know. In these climates, it's best not to drink much of any sweetened drink, or soft drinks. Yet, I still do it sometimes.
