Heart Attack - the oriental ways to prevention and recognition

Different culture has different way of behavior and habit in consuming their food. The Chinese for example, has for years stressed the preference for warm soup or drinks for their tea or plain water especially after eating the meal. Behind the practice, there has been various reasons and belief that drove them to adopt such practice.

However, such beliefs are now being held by the elders and perhaps some younger ones. But the majority of the younger generations have adopted and followed the western ways. The following advice, although not specifically stated to be from the Chinese, nevertheless offers one similar advice.

Prevent Heart Attacks by drinking warm water instead of cold water.

This is a very good article. Not only about the warm water after your meal, but about 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 after a meal.

A serious note about heart attacks: You 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...

A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life. Read this...It could save your life!!

Well, there is no harm in knowing a little bit more. While this may not totally prevent one from suffering a heart attack, but it may well slow down the process. As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure. So drink your cold drink not with your meal, but long before or after the meal.
