Heart Attack Info from an RN This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about ladies and their heart attacks. This makes sense.... the Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals...not cold water... maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain... For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you. It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water or milk after a meal. A serious note about heart attacks: Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know the better chance we could survive. Take one whole 325 or 500 mg aspirin. Take some deep breaths, relax and see your doctor or a cardiologist quickly.

When I was working Labor I in Honolulu for about three years, I learned to drink warm water. A Filipino by the name of Macadangdang (Mac) was responsible for this change in common sense. He said I wouldn't sweat as much if I drank warm water. He was right and I've been drinking warm 'everything' from that time on. Even green tea. Cold water shocks your system if it's hot. It gets to be a habit! Good post, Fred. HANK
