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.

Dr. Otto Warburg's 1931 Nobel Prize-winning discovery revealed that diseases, including cancer, struggle to exist in an alkaline environment. Our body’s pH balance is vital for optimal health. An acidic internal environment, often caused by poor diet and stress, can create a breeding ground for harmful pathogens. By maintaining a more alkaline pH, we can reduce the risk of chronic diseases, including cancer.

Incorporating alkaline-promoting foods like leafy greens, lemons, and cucumbers into your diet can help balance your body's pH. This doesn’t mean avoiding acidic foods entirely, but rather finding the right balance between alkaline and acidic food sources to support health.

The key is making small, sustainable lifestyle changes. Start by replacing processed foods with fresh, plant-based meals, focusing on whole foods that are rich in essential nutrients. This proactive approach can have long-term benefits for your overall wellness, strengthening your immune system and boosting energy levels.

Do you know that a few drops of Alka Plus in your drinking water balances your body's pH and protects your system from any attack by any chronic disease, cancer, diabetes, ulcer, etc?

Health Benefits of Dwarf Banana

It helps in the prevention of cardiovascular disease
Dwarf banana is so many people’s delight and few amongst the varied kinds of banana.

It is very popular and needs a little or no introduction because it always comes in small sizes. Dwarf banana is the fruit of a plant of the genus Musa (family of Musaceae), which is cultivated primarily for food.

One of the best things about banana, compared to other fruits is that it comes wrapped in its hygienic natural package which protects it from contamination, they don’t need to be washed before eating and they can be eaten anytime. Dwarf banana comes in varying colors of yellow, red or green.

Dwarf banana is an excellent source of vitamin B6, potassium, vitamins B1, B2, C, E, folates, magnesium, iron and fiber (both soluble and insoluble fiber). The fiber, potassium, vitamin C and B6 content in bananas all support heart health. An increase in potassium intake along with a decrease in sodium intake is the most important dietary change that a person can make to reduce their risk of cardiovascular disease, according to Mark Houston, MD, MS, an associate clinical professor of medicine at Vanderbilt Medical School and director of the Hypertension Institute at St Thomas Hospital in Tennessee.

In one study, those who consumed 4069 mg of potassium per day had a 49% lower risk of death from ischemic heart disease compared with those who consumed less potassium (about 1000 mg per day). High potassium intakes are also associated with a reduced risk of stroke.

Banana should therefore form a part of diet for those suffering from anemia. Regular intake of banana is essential for developing and maintaining a strong bone and also helps to reduce stress. High levels of Vitamin C, A1, B6, B12, potassium and magnesium in banana helps the body to recover the ni****ne withdrawal effects. It is recommended for those that want to give up cigarette smoking.

Studies conducted by the Institute of Psychology in Austria showed that people in high-stressed job tends to gorge on chocolates and chips to comfort them, thus making them obese. To overcome such food cravings, snack on high carbohydrate foods such as banana, instead, help to control weight and the blood sugar level because of banana’s high fiber content. The fibers of both the soluble and insoluble fiber in dwarf banana contribute to the cholesterol and lipid (fat) lowering by excreting them with the f***s.

Bananas high in potassium and complex carbohydrate content are effective in relieving and can stop diarrhea in children as well as in adult. It alkalizes the blood, and helps neutralize and eliminate excess uric acid that causes arthritis (joints pain) and gout.

Dwarf banana and all other types of bananas are rich in potassium which helps in reducing kidney stone. Bananas have natural antacid effects (neutralize acid) on the body, so eating bananas during heartburn can provide good relief.

Why not take dwarf banana today to explore and enjoy all its health benefits?

Low blood pressure (BP) is often overlooked, especially when the symptoms seem subtle or are confused with fatigue. Dizziness, blurred vision, or feelings of lightheadedness can all be signs that your BP is dropping. If you're noticing frequent fainting spells, fatigue, or cold extremities, it’s important to listen to your body. These signs should not be ignored, as they might indicate a larger issue that needs attention.

Simple lifestyle changes can help maintain healthy blood pressure. Drinking more water, adding extra salt to your meals, and consuming potassium-rich foods like bananas and spinach can help prevent symptoms. Additionally, making sure to take regular breaks, reduce stress, and eat smaller, more frequent meals may help keep BP stable throughout the day. Natural remedies, like ginger and licorice, can also assist in managing low BP effectively.

However, if these symptoms persist or worsen, consulting with a healthcare professional is essential. They can help determine if a medical condition is affecting your blood pressure. Regular check-ups and self-care practices will ensure you're on the right track for long-term health. Take small steps today to avoid future complications, and be proactive in caring for your body. 💧💚
