Bayer is making a crystal aspirin that dissolves under the tongue much faster than the tablets. Keep some next to your bed, in the car, purse and at the office. Why? Heart Attacks are not always accompanied by chest pain down the arms. Heart attacks symptoms can include profuse sweating, pain around the jaw area or nausea. These symptoms can even come and go.
If these symptoms or chest pains occur, immediately dissolve two aspirins in your mouth and swallow them with a bit of water. Afterwards :
CALL 911;
- say “heart attack!”
- say that you have taken 2 aspirins.
- phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by.
- take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door, and wait for their arrival
DO NOT LIE DOWN WHILE YOU ARE WAITING FOR THE EMT!
Dr. Mercola’s newsletter peeked interest with a recent ban on sodas in vending machines on city property in San Francisco. Trends move from West to East … so is this a new trend in curbing obesity and sugar? Sodas have an extremely high rate of sugar, empty nutritional calories in them and are well-known for being hard on the kidneys. All that sugar and caffeine in sodas throws the body into high gear and forces the kidneys to work hard to process the “flight or fight” adrenalin and neutralize the sugar. The same applies to juices that are not 100% juice. So you will see in the report below that juices which are not 100% juice are equally ban. What is a better alternative to all sodas? Try lemon and water, green tea, add some fresh mint. For a really cooling drink, throw some sliced cucumbers (remove skin) in a blender, add fresh lime juice, mint and swirl. This has been an extremely hot summer and heat is hard on the internal organs, especially the liver. So, cool down with healthy options!
From Dr. Mercola’s Newsletter ~ Issue 1489
Under an executive order from San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, sodas such as Coke, Pepsi and Fanta Orange are no longer allowed in vending machines on city property. Some of their diet counterparts are still allowed.
The ban includes non-diet sodas, sports drinks and artificially sweetened water.
Juice must be 100 percent fruit or vegetable juice with no added sweeteners, and diet sodas can be no more than 25 percent of the items offered.
The San Francisco Chronicle reports:
“It’s all part of Newsom’s effort to combat obesity and improve San Franciscans’ health, similar to a national effort being championed by first lady Michelle Obama.
The mayor’s administration points to studies linking soda to obesity, including a UCLA one released last year that found adults who drink at least one soft drink a day are 27 percent more likely to be obese than those who don’t”.
