HEALTH TIP ON WATER

From A Cardiac Specialist!
Drinking water at certain time maximizes it's effectiveness on the body:
2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs
1 glass of water30 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 Primary Care Physician told me that water at bedtime 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 can add too: the body is about 60% water – and the brain is 70% water..  When old people get confused sometimes it’s because they’re dehydrated.
DRINK UP
