When you lie down and the lower body (legs etc.) seeks level with the kidneys, it is then that the kidneys remove the water because it is easier. I knew you need your minimum water to help flush the toxins out of your body, but this was news to me.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;">Correct time to drink water...

Most heart attacks occur in the day, generally between 6 A.M. and noon. Having one during the night, when the heart should be most at rest, means that something unusual happened.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;">Somers and his colleagues have been working for a decade to show that sleep apnea is to blame.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;">1. If you take an aspirin or a baby aspirin once a day, take it at night.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;">The Reason: Aspirin has a 24-hour "half-life"; therefore, if most heart attacks happen in the wee hours of the morning, the Aspirin would be strongest in your system.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;">2. Aspirin lasts a really long time in your medicine chest; for years. (when it gets old, it smells like vinegar).</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;">Please read on - Something that we can do to help ourselves;</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;">Bayer is making crystal aspirin to dissolve instantly on the tongue. They work much faster than the tablets.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;">Why keep Aspirin by your bedside? It's about Heart Attacks - There are other symptoms of a heart attack, besides the pain on the left arm. One must also be aware of an intense pain on the chin, as well as nausea and lots of sweating; however, these symptoms may also occur less frequently.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;">Note: There may be NO pain in the chest during a heart attack. The majority of people (about 60%) who had a heart attack during their sleep did not wake up. However, if it occurs, the chest pain may wake you up from your deep sleep. If that happens, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of water.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;">Afterwards: - Call 911. - Phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by. Say "heart attack!" - Say that you have taken 2 Aspirins. - Take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival and ........DO NOT LIE DOWN!</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #555555; font-size: 15px; line-height: 22.5px;">A Cardiologist has stated that if each person after receiving this e-mail, sends it to 10 people, probably one life could be saved!

If you think the dominant media will stop advancing a left-wing agenda — you’re off your rocker.

The abundance of “low information voters” is the problem that needs to be solved.

2014 was marked by the emergence of an array of daunting challenges to our country and its people. An insecure border was breached by untold numbers of children and other illegal aliens drawn by the promise of amnesty, which President Obama delivered without congressional assent.</blockquote>

The President continued aligning the United States with its enemies – from the jihadists of Iran to the Castros’ Cuba to the ever-more-aggressive Chinese. And little, if anything, is being done to secure our electric grid.</blockquote>

The net effect of such developments has been to put us at risk, and invite worse in the year to come.</blockquote>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">Here's why those Nordic countries, while highly redistributive, actually do well. The answer will surprise our big government, statist, progressive, modern liberals!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From </span><a href="http://buff.ly/1qFzB4x" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">David Cay Johnston, Rightly, Argues For Smaller Government</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">:</span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"And strangely, the argument that Johnston is putting forward, and which I fully support, is one that most American liberals should also support. For this is how those famed Nordic social democracies work. Yes, they have high redistribution but underneath that they are very much more classically liberal, more Smithian, more small government even, than the UK or US are at present. That’s actually one of the things that makes those places work: a more <b><i>classically liberal</i></b> economy humming away to produce the wealth that can be redistributed." </span></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">...But just as four decades of persistent activism, education, service, and prayer have brought us to a point where the tide is turning on abortion, a similar level of commitment can affect the cultural landscape as it pertains to marriage and family life. Just as progress is being made on crime and even divorce rates, we need to strive for a culture in which women and men see one another as complementary and needed by one another, made for one another and for the children whom they have participated in creating, who are completely and most naturally dependent on them.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We will need to recover a common language and moral grammar that reflects our shared tradition and experience of cherishing life, family, and community. Our responses must take into account the realities, wounds, and lessons from the cultural havoc of recent decades. Our efforts must be true to both nature and history and pursue persuasion and coalition building. We must tell the stories of what works, pointing to the people and groups who are restoring a culture of life, marriage, and religious liberty.</span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Democracy needs a flourishing civil society, the backbone of which is people of conscience who look out for their neighbors, who raise and support families, who take matters of human dignity either as Gospel truth or as a moral imperative to protect and uplift. The cultural indicators that follow help us to take stock of our efforts in this regard—and a number of them do not give us a good report. But the indicators are grim only if we resign ourselves from our responsibilities to one another.</span></blockquote>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This means, of course, that our monetary politburo is out of business; that “monetary accommodation” is nothing more than a one time parlor trick of central bankers. Unfortunately, like the real politburo in the Kremlin, the incumbents in the Eccles Building will not desist until they are finally chased from office by a massive uprising of the people—–that is, the savers, workers and entrepreneurs of America who have been shafted by the bubble finance policies of our monetary central planners" </span></blockquote>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A term, that contrary to popular belief did not originate from Jonah Goldberg, but from author H.G. Wells. In a speech to the Young Liberals at Oxford in July 1932, Wells called for progressives to become 'Liberal Fascists' or 'Enlightened Nazis.' Wells though that a new world order was the solution, a liberal fascism...in boils down to: the state is the solution.</span></blockquote>

<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“If there is ever a fascist takeover in America, it will come not in the form of storm troopers kicking down doors but with lawyers and social workers saying "I'm from the government and I'm here to help.” </span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“The government cannot love you, and any politics that works on a different assumption is destined for no good.” </span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“America's political system used to be about the pursuit of happiness. Now More and more of us want to stop chasing it and have it delivered.” </span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“If you think shrinking government and getting it less involved in your life is a hallmark of tyranny it is only because you are either grotesquely ignorant or because you subscribe to a statist ideology that believes the expansion of the state is the expansion of liberty.” </span></blockquote>

<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next few elections will decide whether we are to survive as “a nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” Constitutional government in the world is only two centuries old, and the US Constitution is the longest-lasting and most benevolent one in existence. Lincoln truly did not know “whether any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure.” In 1860 the Constitution was only seven decades old. But today, under the combined assault of enemies domestic and foreign, we still cannot guarantee whether constitutional government will survive. It has many, many enemies. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ronald Reagan said that each generation must decide again to choose freedom or tyranny. We are ultimately responsible for failing to teach our political history to our children, who are abysmally ignorant and misled. The future of liberty, electoral legitimacy, political balance of powers and rationality is by no means assured. Unlike the Founding generation, the generation of Lincoln, and the Greatest Generation of World War 2 our people today are steeped in folly and self-indulgence. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We can win against the Left-Islamist alliance just as we won the Cold War. But so far we have done little but retreat in confusion, for lack of clear leadership and unity. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today our future is as unsure as it was in 1944 when Harry Truman won the Democratic nomination for Vice President. The Cold War ended two decades ago. Today we must mobilize our resources for another life-and-death struggle or give in to the forces of barbarism. </span></blockquote>
