Water - Who Knew?
Did you ever wonder why people urinate so much at night time?
Here is one answer from a 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 the kidneys remove the water because it is
easier. This then ties in with the last statement!
You need your minimum water to help flush the toxins out of your body, but
the above was new news.
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
One last note:
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.
