Another informative email I just got:

Good advice.
Heart Attack & Water:::

Interesting!
Something I didn't know either! I asked my Doctor why do I and other people 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.
When you lie down and the lower body (legs and other things) 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

Please pass this to the people you care about......
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.

I'll have to print this up and post it. I keep telling Ryan drinking water before going to bed helps with leg cramps. Do they ever listen??? No!!!!

Thats a good idea to print this one a put it on the fridge, Luna. I drink a lot of water, as dehydration is the key factor in many aliments.
Such as, headaches, fatigue, joint stiffness, confusion. If you are drinking only when you feel thirsty, then thats to late. Your body is already dehydrated.
Thanks CorkyMax for this.
