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).
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!

10 most beautiful tree tunnels in the world!!! Trees, The longest-living organisms on Earth, beautify and protect our environment  by providing color, shelter, and shade. They renew our air supply by soaking up carbon  dioxide and producing oxygen.   10. Cherry Blossom Tunnel, Germany Each spring, a peaceful street, located in the German city of Bonn, transforms into  an enchanting cherry blossom tunnel. Photographer Marcel Bednarz captured this  stunning sight of cherry blossoms in full bloom.  He explained to me that there are actually two streets in Bonn where cherry trees  are planted, but the one you see in the above picture is called Heerstraße.  As you may know, the average cherry blossom lasts  only between 7 and 10 days,  depending on weather conditions. 09 more after the break...   09. Rua Gonçalo de Carvalho, Brasil Number nine goes to Brazil's green tunnel from Porto Alegre, Rua Gonçalo de Carvalho.  According to a decree signed in 2006 by former mayor Joseph Fogaça, this beautiful street is part of the country's historical, cultural, ecological and environmental heritage.   There are more than one hundred towering Tipuana (Rosewood) trees along Rua Gonçalo de Carvalho. The great shade trees stretch over three city blocks, which is a good thing for the city's overall health.  Did you know that trees, properly planted around buildings, can reduce air conditioning demands by up to 30%?   08. Autumn Tree Tunnel, USA Photographed in glorious autumn colors by Kevin McNeal, this tree tunnel is simply astonishing! The picture was taken on the way up to Smuggler's Notch, a Vermont state park.   The eye-catching foliage starts changing its color in the northern region,  in response to many environmental factors, and spreads south as the fall season advances. 07. Ginkgo Tree Tunnel, Japan Gingko biloba is a highly venerated tree in Japanese culture.  Six ginkgo trees survived the Hiroshima bombing, continuing to grow despite facing so many challenges, and are still alive today.  Therefore, the Japanese regard the gingko as "the bearer of hope". It is also known as "the survivor" or "the living fossil." Around 65,000 ginkgoes grace Tokyo's streets, gardens and parks today.  According to some people who visited Tokyo, the tunnel you see in the above picture  is located in the outer garden of Meiji Shrine.   06. Yew Tree Tunnel, UK The medieval Aberglasney House features one of the most beautiful gardens in Wales, UK. They have been an inspiration to writers since 1470. The Yew Tunnel is a popular tourist attraction in this area. Believe it or not, it took nine years of pruning to restore this unique archway. "Years of neglect had left it unsafe and with a perilous future, as the once formally clipped structure had grown even higher than the top of the Mansion itself. It is so nice to see it looking invigorated and healthy again. I had every confidence that with careful restoration it would help its future longevity, but I have to confess that it did look drastic at the time," declared Graham Rankin, one of Aberglasney's directors.   The Yew Tunnel is thought to have been planted by the Dyer family of Aberglasney,  during the 18th century.   05. The Dark Hedges, Northern Ireland Tucked away in the county of Antrim, Ireland these beautiful beech trees are thought to be around 300 years old. According to local records, James Stuart planted the 150 beech trees in the 18th century,to impress guests as they approached his splendid property, Gracehill House.   Legend tells that the spirit of a maid, who lived in a neighboring mansion and died in mysterious circumstances hundreds of years ago, haunts the country road. "Grey Lady" silently floats along the road and quickly disappears as she reaches the last beech tree.   04. Bamboo Path, Japan The Sagano Bamboo Forest is located in Arashiyama, a nationally-designated historic site.  The pathway you see in the above picture is 500m long, and runs through one of Japan's most beautiful bamboo forests. No wonder the Agency for Cultural Affairs declared Arashiyama a "Place of Scenic Beauty". This forest is close to many famous temple and shrines, including the Adashino Nenbutsu-ji Temple.   The sound the wind makes, as it blows through the tall bamboo trees,  has been voted by the Japanese authorities as one of 100 must-preserve sounds of Japan. 03. Tunnel of Love, Ukraine The Ukrainian Tunnel of Love is actually a two-mile sector of private railway that serves a woodworking plant near Klevan, a small city located in western Ukraine.  I read somewhere that couples pass through this romantic tunnel to make a wish.  The myth goes that, if their love is strong and pure, the wish will come true. May all of your wishes come true, but watch out for the train! It runs three times a day through the leafy tunnel. 02. Jacarandas Walk, South Africa Over 10 million trees keep South Africa's largest city green. According to several unofficial sources, Johannesburg is home to the world's largest man-made forest. There are at least 49 species of Jacaranda, most of them native to South America (particularly in Uruguay, Brazil, Peru & Argentina), and the Caribbean basin.  The tropical trees were imported to South Africa over one hundred years ago. October is the month when the flowers of thousands of Jacaranda trees are in full blossom.  This spectacular tree tunnel is located either in Johannesburg or Pretoria, the Jacaranda City where 70,000+ Jacarandas add vivid splashes of purple-blue to the urban landscape. 01. Wisteria Tunnel, Japan As soon as the cherry blossom season ends, the gorgeous Wisteria flowers, that hang in grape-like clusters, take their turn on the Japanese floral calendar. The Fuji Matsuri, or Wisteria Festival, is celebrated each spring in Tokyo, Shizuoka, and Okazaki. The Ashikaga Flower Park is one of the best places to admire different varieties of wisteria, including double-petaled wisteria, giant wisteria and yellow, white, light pink or purple variants of wisteria.

Fwd: FW: Benefits of drinking warm Lemon Water

If you love lemons (actually there are many varieties), just enjoy the drink over ice (rather than warm) and forget about the so-called health benefits!

 

 

Benefits Of Drinking Warm Lemon Water

Start the day out with a mug of warm water and the juice of half a lemon.

It's so simple and the benefits are just too good to ignore. Warm water with lemon:

1. Boosts you're immune system.
    Lemons are high in Vitamin C and potassium. Vitamin C is great for fighting colds and potassium stimulates brain &

    nerve function and helps control blood pressure.

2. Balances pH.
    Lemons are an incredibly alkaline food, believe it or not. Yes, they are acidic on their own, but inside our bodies they're

    alkaline (the citric acid does not create acidity in the body once metabolized). As you wellness warriors know, an alkaline body is really the key to good health.

3. Helps with weight loss.
    Lemons are high in pectin fiber, which helps fight hunger cravings. It also has been shown that people who maintain a

    more alkaline diet lose weight faster. And, my experience is that when I start the day off right, it's easier to make the best

    choices for myself the rest of the day.

4. Aids digestion.
    The warm water serves to stimulate the gastro-intestinal tract and peristalsis. The waves of muscle contractions within

    the intestinal walls that keep things moving. Lemons and limes are also high in minerals and vitamins and help loosen

    ama, or toxins, in the digestive tract.

5. Acts as a gentle, natural diuretic.
    Lemon juice helps flush out unwanted materials because lemons increase the rate of urination in the body. Toxins are,

    therefore, released at a faster rate which helps keep your urinary tract healthy.

6. Clears skin.

    The vitamin C helps decrease wrinkles and blemishes. Lemon water purges toxins from the blood which helps keep skin

    clear as well.

7. Hydrates the lymph system —

The cranky old man

When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in an Australian country town, it was believed that he had nothing left of any value.  Later, when the nurses were going through his meagre possessions, They found this poem. Its quality and content so impressed the staff that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital.  One nurse took her copy to Melbourne. The old man's sole bequest to posterity has since appeared in the Christmas editions of magazines around the country and appearing in mags for Mental Health. A slide presentation has also been made based on his simple, but eloquent, poem.  And this old man, with nothing left to give to the world, is now the author of this 'anonymous' poem winging across the Internet.

Cranky Old Man

What do you see nurses? What do you see?
What are you thinking when you're looking at me?
A cranky old man, not very wise,
Uncertain of habit, with faraway eyes?
Who dribbles his food and makes no reply.
When you say in a loud voice, 'I do wish you'd try!'
Who seems not to notice the things that you do.
And forever is losing a sock or shoe?
Who, resisting or not, lets you do as you will,
With bathing and feeding, the long day to fill?
Is that what you're thinking? Is that what you see?
Then open your eyes, nurse. You're not looking at me.
I'll tell you who I am as I sit here so still,
As I do at your bidding, as I eat at your will.
I'm a small child of ten, with a father and mother,
Brothers and sisters who love one another
A young boy of sixteen with wings on his feet
Dreaming that soon now a lover he'll meet.
A groom soon at twenty my heart gives a leap.
Remembering, the vows that I promised to keep.
At twenty-five, now I have young of my own.
Who need me to guide and a secure happy home.
A man of thirty, my young now grown fast,
Bound to each other with ties that should last.
At forty, my young sons have grown and are gone,
But my woman is beside me to see I don't mourn.
At fifty, once more, babies play 'round my knee,
Again, we know children, my loved one and me.
Dark days are upon me. My wife is now dead.
I look at the future. I shudder with dread.
For my young are all rearing young of their own.
And I think of the years, and the love that I've known.
I'm now an old man and nature is cruel.
It's jest to make old age look like a fool.
The body, it crumbles. Grace and vigour, depart.
There is now a stone where I once had a heart.
But inside this old carcass, A young man still dwells,
And now and again my battered heart swells.
I remember the joys, I remember the pain.
And I'm loving and living life over again.
I think of the years, all too few, gone too fast.
And accept the stark fact that nothing can last.
So open your eyes, people. Open and see.
Not a cranky old man.
Look closer .. See.. Me

The best and most beautiful things of this world can't be seen or touched. They must be felt by the heart!

WHY

Why do supermarkets make the sick walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front?     Why do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries, and a diet coke?     Why do banks leave vault doors open and then chain the pens to the counters?     Why do we leave cars worth thousands of dollars in our driveways and put our useless junk in the garage?       EVER WONDERED...   Why the sun lightens our hair, but darkens our skin?       Why can't women put on mascara with their mouth closed?     Why don't you ever see the headline 'Psychic Wins Lottery'?   Why is 'abbreviated' such a long word?     Why is it that doctors and attorneys call what they do 'practice'?     Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavoring, and dish washing liquid made with real lemons?       Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?     Why is the time of day with the slowest traffic called rush hour? Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?     Why didn't Noah swat those two mosquitoes?     Why do they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?       You know that indestructible black box that is used on airplanes? Why don't they make the whole plane out of that stuff??     Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?     Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?     If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport the terminal?     Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even a chuckle)... in other words, send it to everyone. We all need to smile every once in a while.

 PLASTIC GORENG WILL MAKE YOU SICK This is a true story (from my friend).

Mum said my uncle saw it in Tunjang (Kedah) and the pasar malam in Titi Chai Kangar (Perlis) where goreng pisang was sold in the afternoons.  The hawker added a plastic drinking straw into a wok of hot oil and let it melt completely before he started to fry some bananas in the bubbling oil.  This is why some fried bananas and ubi are so crispy... for hours...!!  My uncle asked the hawker about this, but the hawker did not answer him.  When my uncle told my mum about this,  they realised this is how the hawkers ensure that fried food stays crispy for their customers.  My mum said that in Thailand , they do the same thing to keep fried ikan bilis and fried onions crispy, even if left in the open for hours!!  Another time, I was with my family in Cameron Highlands . It was 3:00 pm and we were hanging around the market area, where there were several hawker stalls.  At one of them, there was a big wok of boiling oil with an empty plastic bottle floating in it and slowly melting.  At first I thought it had fallen into the oil accidentally, but then I saw a little girl, about 7-years old, holding a pair of chopsticks and stirring the bottle around in the hot oil. I realised, Oh my God... these people were using melted plastic to fry food, so that the fried snacks would not turn soft when it cooled down later.  Please forward to all your friends... DO NOT EAT CRISPY FRIED SNACKS from the hawkers!!  Even if you don't see them melting the plastic in oil, they might have added the plastic a few hours before.  After all, they keep the black oil for next day's frying as well, to save cost on cooking oil.— 与 Lynette Diong 。
