From a New Orleans group of folks comes the following advice:
– (we haven’t tested it, only pass it along for your use and feedback. As you can tell, folks added what they knew as this email on water went from person to person, hope you will do the same. We could exhaust human knowledge on water as a health promoter if we all joined our knowledge together in one place. All kinds of knowledge – passed down through the family; picked up someplace traveling; gems to be collected and kept before our supply of water becomes too polluted to be of any help to continue life; old wives tales, etc. Not facts from encyclopedia’s, but knowledge from the storehouse you have picked up from living – your experience.)
“Drinking Water
I suppose if we all drank the suggested amount of water a day, we’d be okay. I need to do better. Starbucks doesn’t count.
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 do 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.
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”
Enjoy life NOW, it has an expiration date!”
From Bettina Network, inc. we will add – organic lemons squeezed into your water does wonderful things as do limes. We tried to drink the limes straight, but needed water to get the juice down. We looked 10 years younger after a few days of mainstreaming this Vitamin C.
