How many people do you know who say:
I do not want to drink water before I go to bed, because I'm going to have to get up during the night ...?
I did not know this!
I asked my doctor why people urinate a lot during the night. The doctor answered me that a cardiac gravity retains water in the lower part of the body and when it is upright the legs swell. When you lie down, the lower part of the body (legs, etc.) are at the level of the kidneys, and that is when the kidneys eliminate the water because it is easier.
I knew that the minimum water is needed to help eliminate toxins from the body. What I did not know is, what drinking water at a certain moment maximizes its effectiveness in the body, and the correct time to drink it is:
2 glasses of water after waking; helps activate the 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, avoid stroke or heart attack.
I can also add this: my doctor told me that the water at bedtime will also help prevent night cramps in the legs.
The muscles of the legs are looking for hydration and that is why the cramps wake you up. Dr. Virend Somers, is a cardiologist at the Mayo Clinic, who is the lead author of the July 29, 2008 report in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology and says:
Most heart attacks occur during the day; usually between 6 am and noon. Suffering one in the night, when the heart must be in the greatest repose, means that something strange happened.
Somers and his colleagues have been working for a decade to show that sleep apnea and snoring are to blame.
If you take an aspirin once a day, take it at night.
The reason :
Aspirin has a "half-life" of 24 hours, so if most heart attacks occur in the early hours of the morning, aspirin would be more concentrated in your circulatory system.
Something that is good to know in order to help ourselves: Bayer is making crystal aspirins to dissolve instantly on the tongue. This works much faster than the tablets.
why keep an aspirin aside your bed?
For heart attacks! If this happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a little water.
There are other symptoms of a heart attack, in addition to pain in the chest and left arm. It is also necessary to take into account an intense pain in the right jaw and / or in the neck, as well as nausea and a lot of sweating; however, these symptoms may also not occur frequently. There may be no chest pain during a heart attack.
The majority of people (approximately 60%) who had a heart attack during sleep did not wake up.
However, if it occurs with pain in the chest, it can wake you up from your deep sleep. Then call the telephone number of a neighbor or a family member who lives nearby.
Say: "heart attack". Sit in a chair or on a sofa near the front door, wait for your arrival and ... be careful ... DO NOT lie down!
A cardiologist affirmed, that if each person after reading this text, he shares it with his Facebook friends, probably several lives can be saved!
