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.

NURSE'S HEART ATTACK EXPERIENCE I am an ER nurse and this is the best description of this event that I have ever heard. Please read, pay attention, and send it on! FEMALE HEART ATTACKS I was aware that female heart attacks are different, but this is the best description I've ever read.   Women rarely have the same dramatic symptoms that men have ... you know, the sudden stabbing pain in the chest, the cold sweat, grabbing the chest & dropping to the floor that we see in movies.

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. 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.  FYI, Aspirin lasts a really long time in your medicine chest for years, (when it gets old, it smells like vinegar)....
