Hold that glass of water, please By Recah Trinidad PhilBoxing.com Sun, 12 Oct 2014  YOU ease an emotional chest, like the one suffered by over-anxious fans while watching games of the ill-fated Gilas Pilipinas basketball team, with a glass of cold water? Not so fast please. It may not be that simple. This according to an advice from sportsman Baste Chua of Star Sports, super trader and tireless health tipster. Read closely please: ?It?s nice to have a drink of cold water during 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 acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon this will turn into fats that could block arteries or turn into carcinogens. It is therefore best to have hot soup or drink warm water during or after a meal. ?Heart Attacks & Warm Water. You may have seen this over and over again. May you share it with others in order to save lives. It?s not only about warm water after your meals, but about heart attacks. The Chinese and the Japanese drink hot tea with their meals, not cold water. Maybe it?s time we adopt their drinking habit while eating.? ** ?Please share this with others. It could save lives, if not prevent heart attacks. A serious note about heart attacks: You should know that not every heart attack symptom comes as the left arm hurting. Be also aware of the 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 symptoms. In fact, 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you up from a sound sleep. ?Let?s be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive. One cardiologist says that if everyone who reads this shares it with ten people, you can be sure at least one life will be saved.? ** During the first games of the Gilas Pilipinas team in the Fiba World Cup in Spain, there were fans, like a couple of young matrons whose experiences were recorded in this column, who suffered anxiety over the cruelly arduous adventure of the national squad. In response to one column (Isn?t Gilas good for your heart?) one physician, the philanthropic Dr. Jim Sanchez, pioneer of the charity off-shore clinics hereabouts, claimed that some sporting events may be hazardous to health. ?Sorry to say, but I have stopped watching games of the Philippine team. I am not blaming anyone. I avoid chronic or repeated heartaches. It contributes to the causes of heart disease, cancer, etc. Just my thoughts,? Dr. Sanchez explained. Out there in bayside Cardona, Rizal, one avid sports fan said he did not dare drink water after getting stressed out during games of Gilas Pilipinas in the Fiba World Cup. ?Pinapatay ko television, I turn off the set, masakit, not good for the heart,? said Benny Ahillion, a hardworking family head. May you all have a healthy enjoyment of good games. Click here to view a list of other articles written by Recah Trinidad.  |
