Water Saves Lives

Some people don't like to drink water before they go to bed because they say "I'll get woken up by having to pee!"

But Kangen water doesn't have that effect.

I drink about 9-10 ounces before going to sleep at 11 p.m. and usually don't wake up before 6 a.m.

But here's some news, there are some good reasons why drinking water at night is better for you.

2 glasses of water after waking up - helps activate internal organs, 1 glass of water 30 minutes before a meal - helps digestion, 1 glass of water before taking a bath - helps lower blood pressure, 1 glass of water before going to bed - avoids stroke or heart attack.

I never knew that!

Another tidbit from a cardiac specialist: people urinate a lot at night because during the day gravity keeps water in the lower part of the body, but when you lie down, the water can get to the kidneys easier and then they signal that it's time to remove it.

If you are having swelling in the legs, drink more water. Did you know that many people are really dehydrated? Truly 7 glasses of water is just a minimum, if they are only 8 oz. each.

And naturally, consult with your doctor if you are urinating a lot at night.

Also, if you have charlie horse cramps during the night, I've had a lot of success in stopping them by doing two things. I drink water before going to bed and I also include potassium (bananas) in my diet. Leg muscles are looking for hydration when they cramp and drinking water after the fact doesn't really help as much as drinking it ahead of time.

Let me know if these bits of information are helpful for you.
