You have heard people complaining - every time I eat water-melon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat banana I feel like running to the toilet etc - actually all this will not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach.

    A serious note about heart attacks

    HEART ATTACK PROCEDURE': (THIS IS NOT A JOKE!)

    Women should know that not every heart attack
    symptom is going to be the left arm hurting. Be aware of 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 common symptoms.
    60% of people who have a heart attack while
    they are asleep do not wake up.

    Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware.
    The more we know, the better chance we could survive...

    A cardiologist says if everyone who gets this mail sends it to
    10 people, you can be sure that we'll save at least one life. Read
    this...It could save your life!!

    Let's say it's 6.15 pm and you're driving home.
    Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in
    your chest that starts to radiate out into your arm and up into your
    jaw. You are only about five miles from the hospital nearest your
    home.

    Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it
    that far. You have been trained in CPR, but the guy that taught the
    course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.

    'HOW TO SURVIVE A HEART ATTACK WHEN ALONE':

    Since many people are
    alone when they suffer a heart attack, without help, the person
    whose heart is beating improperly and who begins to feel faint, has only
    about 10 seconds left before losing consciousness.

    However, these victims can help themselves by coughing repeatedly and Very
    vigorously. A deep breath should be taken before each cough, deep and
    prolonged, as when producing sputum from deep inside the chest.

    A breath and a cough must be repeated about every two seconds without
    let-up until help arrives, or until the heart is felt to be
    beating normally again.

    Deep breaths get oxygen into the
    lungs and coughing movements squeeze The heart and keep the blood
    circulating. The squeezing pressure on the heart also helps it
    regain normal rhythm.

    In this way, heart attack victims can get to a hospital.
    Tell as many Other people as possible about this. It could save their lives!!
