“THE OLDER YOU GET” – by Des Kelly

“Live & let die, is another phrase less frequently around us these days, simply because all the youngsters around us elders are already living life to the full, anyway and do not even bother with English Phrases & things. Thank you, Keith for these excellent hints for ALL elderly people.

We will surely read them and try to remember them, as much as possible.

Heart Attacks- – –

Drinking Warm

Water:

 

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

but about Heart Attack’s . The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their

meals, not cold water, maybe it is time we adopt

their drinking habit while

eating. For those who like to drink cold water, this

article is applicable to

you. It is very Harmful to have Cold Drink/Water during a meal. Because,

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.

 

French fries and Burgers

are the biggest enemy of heart health. A coke after that gives more power to

this demon. Avoid them for

your Heart’s & Health.

 

Drink one glass of warm water just when you are about to go to bed to avoid clotting of the blood at night to avoid heart attacks or strokes. 

 

A cardiologist says if everyone who reads this

message sends it to 10 people, you can be sure that we’ll save at least

one life. … 

 

So, please be a true friend and send this article to people you care about.

Cheers And Enjoy life
